Double masters with ‘Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt (THI), in Germany

The PPGEE, along with UFPR’s PPG in Mechanical Engineering (PPGEM), arranged, in 2015, a double master’s degree with THI’s (Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt) International Automotive Engineering’s master’s program, Germany.

In order to participate in this double degree program, the student must be registered in the PPGEE’s masters and register for the selective program that occurs annually or, for the students in Germany, in THI’s International Automotive Engineering masters. Furthermore, the student must have completed the first semester in their primary institution. After the course’s conclusion (which shouldn’t exceed 24 months), the student will receive the title of Master in Electrical Engineering through UFPR and the title of Master of Engineering (International Automotive Engineering), through THI.

The exchange must be in two consecutive semesters. In order to obtain the double degree, the student must have fulfilled all requirements from both institutions: compliance with credits in courses, defense of the research project, defense of the master’s thesis and the presentation of a scientific article in a congress. The official language for the master’s thesis is English. The courses already offered in English at the PPGEE were: EELT7002 - Data Communication Network (eelt7002-english.pdf), EELT7019 - Intelligent systems application to electrical engineering (eelt-7019.pdf) e EELT7039 - signals and systems (eelt7039_-_ficha_2_english.pdf).
