Degree objectives

The automotive industry considers the widespread adoption of electric mobility, the subject of the course, to be inevitable. Electric motorisation is one of the technologies that will rapidly spread to vehicles in all segments. A significant shortage of technicians trained in this area is therefore anticipated, which means that graduates of this course will be in a privileged position to access jobs that require skills in areas related to electric vehicle motorisation. This is a highly practical course and, to this end, it benefits from the experience acquired by ESTSetúbal/IPS lecturers in projects developed in this area in partnership with companies in the region.
