Courses

Courses

For the full PPGEP course list, please check the course catalogue, available at Janus. Each research group “special topics” course will be available only to Production Engineering Doctoral or Master’s programs students.

Faculty

The Program has a highly qualified faculty, with prominence in the academic debate. Such standing happens both domestically and overseas, through high quality publications, direct participation in global research programs, editorial boards of international scientific journals, joint events, projects, and publications with researchers abroad, besides exchanges, which foster student activity at international research centers.

Regulations

The Production Engineering Graduate Program (PPGEP) at the Polytechnic School of the University of São Paulo (EP-USP) has several normative documents which regulate and set directives for its activities.

 

Scholarships

Candidates admitted in the PPGEP-USP selection process may apply for scholarships granted by foment agencies, according to availability.

Every year, the Program is granted a quota of Master’s and Doctorate scholarships from the CNPq (National Research Council) and CAPES (Coordination for Higher Education Staff Development). Scholarships are granted according to admission examination results and performance in the program.

Scholarships are renewed annually, according to the students’ academic performance. Master scholarships last for up to two years, and Doctorate’s for up to four years.
