PHD DEGREE IN MECHANICAL SCIENCE

Doctoral program in Mechanical Sciences is a multidisciplinary program covering some areas: Energy, Materials and Mechanical Design. Research carried out is of fundamental character, numerical and experimental with purpose to respond the development needs of our country and of the world: power generation, development of new materials, machinery design and environment conservation. The program is focused on form a solid group of researchers with capacity of understand, formulate and solve the actual society problems.
