The Graduate Program in Engineering and Environmental Sciences - Professional Master's Degree was authorized by CAPES (Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination) in the 2nd half of 2011, within the area of Engineering I - Sanitary Engineering.
The "professional master's degree" according to CAPES norms grants the graduate the degree of "master in engineering" and guarantees the holder the same rights as the "academic master's degree". As a postgraduate training modality, the course was conceived by the bodies that regulate postgraduate education in the country, to encourage the training of qualified masters in the development of activities and technical-scientific work in topics of essentially technological interest.
With an area of concentration in Management and Environmental Technology, the Professional Master's Degree in Engineering and Environmental Sciences is structured in three lines of research:
The course implementation aims at qualifying human resources for the exercise of a transforming professional practice using environmentally correct procedures, aiming to meet social, organizational, or professional demands and those of the labor market in the environmental area. Additionally, it will support research, teaching, extension and innovation activities developed by the University of Caxias do Sul in the environmental area, contributing to the implementation of practices and policies aimed at sustainable regional and national development.
Professionals graduated in Engineering, Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Administration, Economics and related areas, such as Management and Health.
The filling of 20 vacancies per year for the Master's will be carried out through a selection process regulated by a specific notice issued by the Pro-Rectory of Research and Graduate Studies.
