Doctoral Program in INDUSTRIAL AND SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

The Doctoral Program in Industrial and Systems Engineering (PISE) is based on new paradigms for the education in Industrial and Systems Engineering. It aims to train a new generation of specialists and researchers that should be able to, in a systemic manner, designing innovative solutions, from and for integrated products with high added value and / or allowing an increase in their positions in major international value chains.

The overall objective of the PISE is the creation of highly qualified and skilled people, which may contribute to the competitiveness and sustainability of products and services industries. It is intended to provide the development of advanced scientific skills associated with design, modeling and management of complex systems.

The program has several areas of specialization, including the Human Engineering oriented PhD., which should include a thesis in the area of Ergonomics, Safety and Occupational Hygiene. The conclusion of PISE, after the approval of the public presentation of the thesis, offers the degree of PhD. on Industrial and Systems Engineering.
