The holder of a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from Universidade Aberta is a professional fully prepared to meet challenges in both national and international contexts. They demonstrate not only a thorough technical command of information systems and technologies, but also a critical, holistic perspective on engineering practice. Their education rigorously covers both the factual and conceptual foundations of the field and the practical, reflective application of acquired knowledge, in alignment with the diploma’s objectives.
 
Capable of analyzing, modeling, and specifying complex problems, the computer engineer interprets and values the real needs of their professional environment. This graduate conceives, designs, and implements innovative technological solutions, integrating technical, economic, social, and ethical criteria into their approach. Beyond developing robust, efficient, and effective applications, they also assess and test implementations, ensuring the quality, usability, and security of processes.
 
They manage technological infrastructures responsibly, not only maintaining and continuously updating systems but also adopting a strategic outlook on the challenges of digital transformation. Communication is central to their skill set: the graduate works collaboratively and can lead multidisciplinary teams, translating technical concepts into applicable, accessible solutions for diverse audiences.
 
A commitment to autonomous learning empowers them to stay continually up to date, drawing on interdisciplinary tools - ranging from mathematics and physics to social and human sciences - to solve real-world challenges. In this way, they graduate not merely as a repository of techniques, but with a professional identity defined by critical self-reflection, self-improvement, and an ethical, sustainable approach to engineering practice.
 
Prerequisites: Up-to-date mathematical skills at the level of upper secondary education (12th grade) are required – please refer to the list of topics you should be familiar with.
