Objectives

In an initial stage, the program provides solid foundations of mathematics, chemistry and biology. Subsequent stages are more and more specific focusing on the different aspects of environmental and biological technologies. As for environment the three classic elements (water, air and earth) are discussed with emphasis to natural resources, waste, biofuels and environmental impact. In the field of biotechnology the emphasis is placed on genetic and enzymatic engineering, biological reactors and separation processes.

Professional Goals

Graduates in environmental and biological engineering will be able to serve in Portuguese or foreign public or private institutions in areas such as:

• environmental quality management and control;
• environmental auditing;
• chemical, biochemical and microbiological analyses;
• environmental impact assessment;
• land planning and management;
• design of waste treatment, decontamination and rehabilitation plants;
• environmental training and awareness raising;
• agri-food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry;
• environmental biotechnology
