The visits of the Brazilian Army and
also of a delegation of representatives from Brazilian universities were
carried out within the framework of the reinforcement of internationalisation
activities of the School of Engineering of the University of Minho (EEUM).
On
the 10th October, the EEUM received a visit of a delegation from the
Brazilian Army, which counted with the presence of the General Expedito Alves
de Lima and Colonel Fernando Muccillo Pires. The delegation traveled to the
Campus of Azurém, in Guimarães, with the aim of knowing the EEUM, as well as
its fields of activity.
The
delegation
was received by the Dean of the EEUM, João L. Monteiro and the Vice-Dean, Paulo
Sampaio. In the scope of its internationalization activities, the EEUM had
previously received visits from the Brazilian Air Force and Navy, having
already started some cooperation activities with these entities.
On the 20th October, the EEUM received a
delegation of four representatives from Brazilian Universities, namely from the
Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, the Faculdade de Tecnologia do Estado
de São Paulo, the Centro Universitário Teresa D´Ávila and also the Director of
the Municipality Services of the Province of Lorena. Following the welcoming
session of the delegation by the Presidency of the EEUM, the Vice-Dean
delivered a presentation of the EEUM and its activities. In the afternoon, the
delegation attended a presentation and visited the Department of Production and
Systems, accompanied by Paula Ferreira, Assistant Director of the DPS.
The internationalisation activities of the EEUM have
been promoting a network for sharing know-how and competences, granting its
students the opportunity to participate in cooperation projects with renowned
worldwide institutions. The internationalisation of the School ultimately
contributes towards training qualified engineering and preparing its graduates
for a globalised labour market.
