Objectives

In the Dissertation, the student should develop her/his scientific research skills, under the guidance of a supervisor and/or co-supervisor.

In the Internship, the student should develop her/his ability to perform scientific-technological tasks, under the guidance of an FCUP supervisor and an enterprise co-supervisor.

In both cases, the student should improve her/his research and problem-solving abilities, the capability of synthesizing and integrating knowledge, and the critical sense. Thus, at the end of this unit, the student should be able to carry a professional career as a Surveying Engineer.

Learning outcomes and competences

Students will be able to carry out independent research, develop appropriate skills in several aspects of academic writing, analyze and synthesize research findings and describe the research in a written document with reference to existing literature.

Students are also expected to be able to successfully complete the dissertation or internship work and present it in a public examination.

Working method

Presencial

Program

In the Dissertation/Internship, each student, under the guidance of a supervisor and/or a co-supervisor, will develop a theme related to Surveying Engineering. The student will prepare a Dissertation or a Written Report which will be evaluated through a public academic assessment.

Mandatory literature

Vários; Revistas científicas disponibilizadas pela UP.
; Various; Scientific journals available through the UP.

Comments from the literature

Each  supervisor shoud indicate the bibliography suitable for each thesis/training course.
