The Graduate Program in Electronics and Computer Engineering (PG/EEC) aims to train professionals at the masters and doctorate levels to work in teaching, research and development, providing its students with solid academic background in the areas of knowledge of Electronics and Computing. In PG/EEC are studied and developed techniques that can contribute to the establishment of technologies appropriate to the Brazilian reality, with emphasis in the applications in the Aerospace Sector.
The PG/EEC brings together professors from two Academic Divisions of ITA, Division of Electronic Engineering (IEE) and Division of Computer Science (IEC), in addition to the participation of researchers from the Institute of Aeronautics and Space (IAE).
The requirements of our courses can be found in Master or Doctorate (in Portuguese). In both cases, we highlight the Special Student modality, aimed at candidates with partial availability.
Our selection process is based on the analysis of information about the candidate, which includes curriculum, academic transcript and preliminary research plan. Other information, such as necessary documentation, calendars and registration deadlines, are in the Admission and Enrollment (in Portuguese).
An essential requirement is to have a defined advisor. Below you can find our professors and lecturers with their areas of expertise. Get in touch with them through the ITA website, to check the interest and the possibility of guidance, and also to prepare your preliminary research and study plan.

An MSc or PhD student may enroll in disciplines of his/her program or of other ITA Graduate Programs, according to the study and research plan defined with the adviser. Every six months the Graduate School of ITA publishes a list of Available Disciplines. To verify if there are mandatory disciplines in your area of concentration, and to know the contents of each course, see Discipline Descriptions. For more extensive information on all ITA Graduate Programs, please refer to the Graduate Discipline Catalog (in Portuguese).
Requests from regular students (co-advisor approval, use of Proap support, appointment of a defense board, etc.) must be forwarded to the corresponding Representative by the Monday preceding each CPG meeting.
