the industry. Its main teaching project is the Integrated Master Programme in Mechanical
Engineering. In addition, other projects are of the utmost relevance: Integrated
Master Programme in Biomedical Engineering and in Materials Engineering. The
research activities are framed within the Centre for Mechanical and Materials
Technology (CT2M). Furthermore, the Department collaborates actively with CVR -
Centre for Wastes Valorization and with TecMinho, coordinating its Chemical
Analysis Laboratory.
