Information

OPTIONAL CU: enrolment in the Optional Course Units (CU) should be considered provisional. The Optional CU will be only active depending on the number of enrolled students and on the availability of the teaching staff, ensuring, however, that 3 Optional CU will be provided both in the 2nd and 3rd semesters of the each course edition.

LANGUAGE: the basic language of the course is Portuguese. However, some Course Units of MESTEC will be taught jointly with Course Units of M.EC (Master in Civil Engineering), so in that case they may only be available in English.
