Lack of physical engineers leads companies to pay bribes in Aveiro – Jornal de Negócios – Portugal

Four Portuguese industries and two multinational finance the first year, six students of the integrated master’s at the University of Aveiro. This labor-skilled labor is scarce for business needs.

Six companies will finance the tuition of the first year in the amount of 1063.47 euros, with students the average higher access – and higher than 14 – who join the Master of Engineering Physics (Mief), University of Aveiro in the next academic year. The first round of applications to higher education took off on Monday, July 20, providing 50 555 jobs, 265 less than the ones in 2014

Responsible for the design, optimization and development of products and systems.; responsible for cross-functional teams; responsible for quality control and innovation systems. These are the three main career opportunities for students with this training, which at the end of the course will work primarily in companies in the automotive, space, energy, telecommunications, robotics, medicine, biomedicine and materials.

” In recent years there has been an increase in the number of regional and national companies that have bet on high value-added products. These require professionals with solid background in scientific technological areas and problem-solving ability and development of products based on analysis of basic processes. This type of professional profile is not common in most national graduations at the market reveals shortage of professionals with this profile, “he told the Business Director of the Physics Department of Aveiro academy, João Miguel Dias.

Achievement Award created for this training area, identified as currently being the fourth with the highest employment rate in higher education Portuguese, will attend the Prirev Portuguese (coatings), Costa Verde (porcelain), MT Brandão (instrumentation and scientific equipment) and Chatron (solar and photovoltaic panels), plus two multinational with presence in the industrial district of Aveiro: the German Bosch (thermotechnology) and the Austrian Aspöck (automotive lighting).

According pointed João Miguel Dias, who risked not quantify the current shortage in the labor market, training in Physical Engineering “helps to meet the needs of the industrial fabric”, since professional way “of broad spectrum training, with analysis capabilities of the fundamental processes and response to the inherent requirements to multidisciplinary cutting-edge technologies. “
