Introduction

 

The Graduate Program in Ocean Engineering (PPGEO), of Federal University of Rio Grande - FURG, had its first entry in 1995, being created to gather knowledge in the areas of engineering (especially mechanical and civil), physics, mathematics and oceanography. Thus, since its inception, the faculty is composed of professionals with expertise in the mentioned areas, which allowed the PPGEO to develop interdisciplinary research activities. This profile is reflected in the student body of PPGEO, being composed by students from undergraduate courses in the areas of mechanical engineering (and their different emphases), civil engineering (and their different emphases), chemical engineering, water engineering, hydraulic engineering, sanitary engineering, and also as mathematics, physics and oceanography.

The PPGEO is linked at the School of Engineering (EE) of the Federal University of Rio Grande (FURG) and is evaluated in Engineering Area III of CAPES (Higher Education Personnel Improvement Coordination). PPGEO has a master's degree in ocean engineering with grade 3 in the last CAPES quadrennial assessment (2013 - 2016), being the only ocean engineering program located in southern Brazil. Although there is no doctoral degree yet, PPGEO has received regional and national recognition of human resources for the academic and industrial sectors. Currently, the program is improving its indicators of qualified education and scientific production, in order to enable the creation of a doctoral course in the area.

PPGEO REALIZA ReAD – PPGEO – 2025/1

O Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Oceânica (PPGEO) da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG realizou no dia 28 de março de 2025 (Sexta-feira) a Reunião de Acolhimento dos Discentes (ReAD) do primeiro semestre de 2025.

O encontro teve como objetivos acolher os novos discentes de mestrado e doutorado do PPGEO, bem como, estreitar o contato com os discentes já pertencentes ao programa. No encontro, foram apresentadas diretrizes para o trabalho de planejamento estratégico que está sendo realizado em parceria entre o PPGEO e a empresa R. Garcia & A. Sales Consultoria Empresarial Ltda, onde a consultora Daniele Garcia realizou uma apresentação sobre as etapas do planejamento estratégico que será aprimorado no PPGEO. Além disso, a coordenação do PPGEO apresentou pontos importantes como missão, visão e valores do PPGEO, além do regimento do programa.

O evento contou com grande participação de docentes e discentes do Programa.

A coordenação do PPGEO agradece aos docentes e discentes que participaram da reunião, e deseja muito boa sorte nos trabalhos a serem desenvolvidos no semestre.
