Description: | Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP), in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University and in the context of the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program, is launching a new Doctoral Program in Engineering and Public Policy (EPP). This is a new, interdisciplinary, doctoral program focused on technological and policy issues that arise when designing, developing, regulating, implementing and managing networked infrastructures. Although the initial emphasis is on the Energy and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) fields, the broad range of problems to be tackled includes: Policy and Risk-Related Studies; New Technological Paradigms; Security and Privacy Policy; Electricity Infrastructure; Smart Grids and Electric Vehicles; Energy and Environment Policy; Net Neutrality; Spectrum Management Policy; The Internet of Things; Social Networks and Productivity. • Doctoral Degree offered by Universidade do Porto (Faculdade de Engenharia) • Also offered as a dual degree with Carnegie Mellon University (funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia through the Carnegie Mellon Portugal Program)

To enable the students to approach. formalize and support the decision makers regarding multicriteria decision problems and address uncertainty issues.
The objective is to enable students to look critically at the strengths, limitations and underlying assumptions of key policy research and analysis tools and problem framing and sensitize students to some of the critical issues of taste, professional responsibility, ethics and values that are associated with policy analysis and research.
The main objective of this course is to build skills for creating models for combinatorial optimization problems and to solve them through exact techniques.
