Concentration Areas
-
The Concentration Areas define wide knowledge domains which refer to the regular teaching activities, research, technological development and service provision, in an integrated way, at the Program and the Mechanical Engineering Department.
Research Lines
-
The Research Lines define the thematic domains in which there are decisions and institucional predisposal towards the realization of technical-scientific research activities and technological development.
-
Each Research Line can be associated with one of the Concentration Areas of integrated operation involving DEM and PEM.
Projects
-
The Projects are defined and coordinated by faculty members.
-
Each Project can be associated with one Research Line.
-
The Project Team is constituted specifically for its realization.
-
Great diversity of Research Lines and Projects available for the participation of Mechanical Engineering students.
-
From these Projects there might be results such as Doctoral Thesis, Masters Dissertations and Undergraduate Final Projects.
-
Research Projects: they are related to more fundamental themes.
-
Development Projects: they are related to technological application.
-
Usually, these Projects are funded by public agencies of fomentation of research and technological development.
-
Frequently, Projects are held alongside companies, public institutions and non academic entities, funded by them.
Intelectual Production
-
The Intellectual Production refers to all forms of registration and promotion of the Research activities results.
-
In Mechanical Engineering, Intellectual Production comprises the Bibliographical Production, the Technical Production and, eventually, the Artistic Production.
-
The Bibliographical Production comprises all sorts of publications.
-
The Technical Production comprises activity reports; organization of technical-scientific events; methods, techniques and processes development; patent registration and other activities related to or resulting from the Projects.
Research Ethics
-
Discussions at UFRJ regarding ethical matters when it comes to research, which involve themes such as research integrity, human or animal participation in researches, genetic patrimony, biosafety and relations between company and university are the Research Ethics Technical Chamber’s (CTEP/UFRJ) jurisdiction.
-
See:Graduate studies Pro-Rectory’s memo and Informative material.
News (feeds)
-
This is a concise and direct form of fast access to news and communication from public agencies that fund graduate programs and scientific and technological development research that more significantly support and fund the research activities in Mechanical Engineering.
