The Graduate Course in Mechanical Engineering at the Federal University of Uberlândia was created on December 05, 1962. The purpose of the course is to train professionals with knowledge related to the most varied branches of Mechanical Engineering, capable of responding quickly to current requirements and future trends. industry, as well as introducing structural changes due to its analytical and creative capacity. Concerned with the principles of force, energy and motion, mechanical engineers use their knowledge of design, manufacturing and processes to advance the world around us. Due to generalist training, the mechanical engineer is prepared to start a professional career, with the same possibility of success, in any area of Mechanical Engineering. Career opportunities for Mechanical Engineers are diverse and found across the world through thousands of companies ranging from large multinationals to small local companies. The course activities are shown in ILLUSTRATIVE VIDEO produced from the course's teaching and research activities.
The Mechanical Engineering course has several inter-institutional cooperation agreements, which contributed to the enrichment of knowledge to be shared with students. The agreements cover opportunities for a double degree, student mobility and internships. The INTERNSHIP COORDINATION is the structure in charge of intermediating the market relationship with the students of the course.
We currently highlight the following student agreements: Grupo Insa (Insa Lyon, Insa Rouen, Insa Center Val del Loire, Insa Rennes, Insa Strasbourg, InsaTolouse), Sigma – ClemontFerrand, ENSMM de Besançon.
The functions of the mechanical engineer cover a vast field of scientific and technological activities, from research and development to the manufacture and control of mechanical systems and their components: hydraulic and electrical machines, machine tools and their tools, agricultural and transport machines, hydraulic, pneumatic and mechanical control. If something moves or uses energy, a Mechanical Engineer was likely involved in its design and/or production.
