It currently has seven departments, two undergraduate degrees, three postgraduate coordinators and school extension /specialization.
Departments
FEM has seven departments:
Departamento de Energia - DE
(Department of Energy)
The Department of Energy - DE develops activities of undergraduate education, graduate and extension, research, consultancy and provision of community services, including design and development of equipment, in the area of energy, including heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and energy planning. The DE is distinguished for several years, in the setting of national institutions, the interdisciplinarity of its activities, a characteristic now recognized as vital in engineering.
