Career Opportunities and Employability

Technicians of this course have the possibility of working in any Electronic and Automation company, being able to design and/or repair electronic circuits and equipment. Technicians will also be capable of installing or repairing electric installations of low and medium voltage and will be able to work with renewable energy equipment.
Technicians will also be trained to reconfigure simple sensor networks and to program microcontroller devices or automatons.
The higher technicians from this course can apply for an undergraduate degree related to electronics, being also dispensed from attending some curricular units that may be common to both courses.

Candidates

This course is directed to those who ambition to develop their electrical and electronic skills, like Electronic installations and telecommunications. It is also meant for those who want to learn new concepts related to the area, namely learning to program small microcontrollers, installing a sensor network, learning to program industrial automatons or understanding how a telecommunication network works.
Possible candidates: students that have completed high school education (whether with or without admission exams); students that have applied through the regime meant for students over 23 years old; students with a Technological Specialization course; holders of a higher education diploma (professional retraining).
