Goals
Aims
The general aim of the programme is to equip engineers with an overall view of technologies, systems, services and content with a strong Interaction, Computer Graphics and Multimedia component. The course is based on solid scientific foundations and training in Computer Engineering, with a particular focus on Computer Graphics and Multimedia, complemented by training in Communication and Design.
The study cycle is organised to help students develop skills to enable them to work in different areas, through a strong practical component based on consistent theory training. This will give the graduate the expertise needed to face professional challenges in the labour market.
Initial training in Multimedia Design aims to provide students with the ability to be part of multidisciplinary teams and, within them, to propose, interpret and create designs.
Graduate profile
Graduates in Computer Graphics and Multimedia Engineering will be prepared for senior management roles, with the skills to use specific techniques and to join development teams.
They will be able to lead project and development teams.
They will also develop structural intervention skills.
Professional outcomes
There is a wide range of areas where graduates can work in the area of design, development and management: Interactive multimedia products and services.
Distance learning, e-commerce, product/organisation promotion, cultural and entertainment products, virtual reality systems, multimedia installations.
Graphics applications.
Geographical information systems, simulation, interfaces, visualisation.
Network systems and services.
Distributed multimedia architecture, networked information systems, multimedia databases.
Audiovisual.

“Entrei no IPVC em 2013 para um CET e, em 2014, ingressei na licenciatura em ECGM. Estudei nesta instituição durante 4 anos. Foi um percurso de aprendizagem e experiências que me marcaram enquanto pessoa e aluno e que me deram técnicas que têm tido grande influência na minha vida. Atualmente colaboro na ESTG como docente e está a ser mais uma experiência nesta instituição, agora numa outra vertente. Uma das coisas que mais gosto nesta instituição é a forma como acolhe alunos e colaboradores.”
