Língua de trabalho

Portuguese - Suitable for English-speaking students

Objetivos

The main objective of this curricular unit is to propose a challenge to the student, absolutely new and with a considerable dimension, in the Biotechnology or Chemical Engineering area, which has to be solved based on the knowledge acquired during the course. This challenge may be a real problem from a company (internship) or a research or industrial project (project). At the end of the training, the student must present a thesis, based on the internship/project work, leading to a Master Degree.

Programa

Preparation of a project in Chemical Engineering or in Biotechnology, which may either be of industrial character (including, in this case, mass and enthalpy balances, process diagrams, sizing of major equipment, specification sheets, and economic feasibility analysis) or a research project in the same areas. Alternatively, the student may choose to undertake an internship in a Chemistry or Biotechnology Industry. At the end the student must write and present a master thesis.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Internship:

- the student develops a project individually in a work context, with the support of a tutor in the company and of a Professor-Supervisor at School, which follows his/her work and assists in the writing of the master thesis.

Project:

- the student also develops a project individually, that can either be an industrial project or a research project, with the support of a supervisor and, in some cases, also co-supervisors, responsible for following his/her work and assist the writing of the master thesis.

In both situations, the student must deliver a thesis for the degree of master, presented orally in English and discussed before a jury. The final grade is awarded by the jury, being drawn up a record.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

The student can choose an internship or a research or industrial project. At the end, the student must deliver a master's thesis, based on the individual work he/she performed during the internship/project, leading to the Master's Degree, which he/she presents orally in English and discusses publicly, before a jury. The final score is assigned by the jury, with minutes being drawn up. The annex to the minutes presents in detail the justification for the assessment, considering the following weights:
- 70% for the document (structure, bibliographic review, objectives and their implementation, application of knowledge, scientific/technical rigour, critical analysis, bibliography and presentation);
- 15% for the oral presentation (support material, clarity of exposition and scientific/technical rigour);
- 15% for oral discussion (security and ability to argue).
