Message from the President
Prof. Pedro Coelho, President of the Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The Mechanical Engineering Department (DEM) is one the largest departments of Instituto Superior TĂŠcnico (IST). It has about one hundred Professors and more than two thousand students, being responsible for the undergraduate and graduate courses of Mechanical Engineering, Naval and Ocean Engineering, and sharing with other IST departments the responsibility of the undergraduate and graduate

courses of Aerospace Engineering, Materials Engineering, Environmental Engineering, as well as the Master course of Energy Engineering and Management. The undergraduate courses of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering have been attracting the best Portuguese students. In particular, the Aerospace Engineering course ranked in 2nd place in 2017 and 1st place in 2018 accord-
Introduction
ing to the grade from 0 to 20 of the last student placed by the general quota in the 1st phase of the National Competition for Access to Higher Education, considering all undergraduate courses offered by Portuguese Universities and Polytechnic Institutes and Schools. Other courses coordinated by DEM, either alone or in cooperation with other IST departments, have also consistently been ranked in the 1st or 2nd place among similar courses in the aforementioned National Competition, further demonstrating the top position of DEM/IST at national level. DEM is the IST Department with the largest number of students involved in ERASMUS and other international student exchange programmes. This number has been increasing along the years. In 2018, more than one hundred Mechanical Engineering students went abroad during one or two semesters and a similar number of foreign students came to IST in the framework of these exchange programmes. Five new Professors joined the DEM faculty in the period 2017–2018, among which four as Assistant Professors, two of them being of nationalities other than Portuguese, and the other one as Full Professor. The latter is a Professor of Materials Engineering who lectured in the United States for several years and returned to Portugal. In the same period, four faculty were promoted to Associate Professor and one was promoted to Full Professor. Moreover, eight calls for faculty posi-
tions were open in 2018: 4 for Assistant Professor, 2 for Associate Professor and 2 for Full Professor. However, these calls only opened in 2019. It is also worth to mention that three professors got the title of “Agregado” in this biennium. The merit of the research activity carried out at DEM has been internationally recognized. The area of Marine/Ocean Engineering was ranked in 3rd place in 2017 and 4th place in 2018 according to the Shanghai Ranking’s Global Ranking of Academic Subjects, which is one of the most prestigious rankings worldwide. This is largely due to the outstanding research activity carried out in DEM and in the Center for Marine Technology and Ocean Engineering (CENTEC). Moreover, the area of Mechanical Engineering appeared in the range 101–150 in the same ranking, both in 2017 and 2018. The areas of Energy Science & Engineering and Environmental Science & Engineering, in which DEM also has significant activity, were also ranked in the range 101–150 for both years. The major challenge for the next biennium is expected to be the development of the new curricula for all the undergraduate courses (1st and 2st cycles) in which DEM is involved. We count on all the faculty to successfully accomplish this task, as well as to continue the improvement of the teaching and research work, and to enhance the collaboration with the industry, aiming at a better service provided to IST and to the future generations of our country.
Biennial Report 2017–2018 | 11
Part 1
Summary of Activities Coordinated by DEM
Three years ago, the Faculty Assembly of IST requested all the departments to assess their activities according to the Research and Education Assessment Regulation. Every department delivered a self-assessment report that included a SWOT analysis and was then visited by a commission of three experts nominated by the Faculty Assembly. This commission made a set of recommendations based on that report and on meetings held during that visit with faculty, staff and students. These recommendations along with the DEM Strategical Report for the Period 2011–2020 served as guidelines for the work carried out by the Executive Committee of DEM, which began the mandate in January 2017. Part of these activities were successfully accomplished in the last two years, while some of them are currently in progress or will start shortly, and a few others are beyond the control of the department. The main activities carried out in the biennium 2017–2018 are summarized below. The Advisory Council of DEM was created in the beginning of this biennium and three meetings were held. Although this advisory body was envisaged in the DEM regulations, it was not until 2017 that it was eventually formed. The investment in the renewal of the teaching and research laboratories initiated in 2013 continued in 2017 and 2018. This investment was supported by the annual budget of DEM along with that from the research centers and research projects of the professors. About 40 k€ in 2017 and 95 k€ in 2018 were attributed to 16 proposals (8 each year) submitted in the framework of an open call within DEM. The total investment, including also the budget of the proponents, amounted to over 27.5 k€ in 2017 and 109 k€ in 2018. Among these, it is

worth to highlight the construction of a new laboratory of nanostructured materials. It is also important to mention that a new space, formerly occupied by the carpentry workshop that had been discontinued, was allocated to the laboratory of Naval and Ocean Engineering, which was previously installed in the main building of IST. An award for the best student that concludes the Mechanical Engineering master degree every year was established. This award is financially supported by APETRO and was attributed for the first time to the best student who concluded the master degree in 2017/18. One of the main recommendations of the visiting commission mentioned above was the need to restructure the curriculum of the integrated master in Mechanical Engineering. Meanwhile, the government published a law that requires the end of the integrated master degrees, and replaces them by the bachelor (1st cycle) and the master (2nd cycle) degrees. Moreover, a commission was created by the President of IST to make a proposal to update the teaching and pedagogical practices. These two facts delayed the updating of the master degree, which began last year with an analysis of the curricula at top universities in Western Europe and United States, but only recently gained momentum, following the definition of the reference principles to update the IST courses of 1st and 2nd cycles. Seminars organized by DEM have regularly taken place during the biennium 2017–18. Most of the speakers were professors of the department that are already retired, but still involved in research activities, and the new faculty that recently joined the department. There was also a seminar dedicated to patents and spin-offs, and five workshops co-organized by DEM and by the research centers associated to DEM.
Introduction

The webpage of the Department was updated, even though no major changes have been implemented, since IST will change soon the web page development software, and no significant changes can be made at present. New pages of DEM were created in Linkedin and Facebook, helping to disseminate news about the department, namely the organization of seminars and conferences, awards and distinctions received by the faculty and students, and other information that may be of interest to the society.
The student groups that develop activities closely related to the teaching and research work carried out in DEM have been continuously supported, not only by providing space where they work, but also scientific assistance to their activities and financial support whenever possible. The planning of the Day of the DEM and of the Day of 3rd Cycle of DEM, which took place for the first time in the beginning 2019, are also worth mentioning.

Bachelor, Master and Doctoral Programmes The bachelor, master and doctoral programmes coordinated by the Mechanical Engineering Department, either alone or in cooperation with other IST Departments or Universities, are described below. Bachelor Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering overview The Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering consists mainly of design, construction, operation and management of systems that are related to the exploration of the sea and its aspects of maritime transportation and recreation activities. The training in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides the necessary bases to pursuit the second cycle of studies that confers the Master degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. The first cycle of studies lasts three years and confers a degree, but students are encouraged to pursue more advanced studies, in the 2nd-cycle. The B.Sc. degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is an overarching programme, which explores the affinities of the core disciplines in different engineering branches, and integrates itself in a large area of training in engineering, which includes Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering and Industrial Engineering and Management. In addition to the sound fundamentals necessary to attend the Master Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering at the Instituto Superior, B.Sc. degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering confers on graduates a high degree of mobility to attend second cycle courses in the European Higher Education Area, either in the technological areas related with marine activity, or in related technological areas of other engineering branches. The fundamental areas of naval architecture and ocean engineering includes naval architecture, marine systems, maritime transport and ports, ship and offshore dynamics and hydrodynamics, ship and offshore structures, ship and offshore design and construction technology.
The B.Sc. degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is particular oriented to the pursuit of second cycle technological studies leading to the Master degree, allowing for high choice and mobility levels in its specialisation area or in related areas. Only by completing the second cycle of studies through the Master Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering are graduates prepared for professional practice in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. objectives The Bachelor degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is established to give a qualified training in mathematics and physics, information technologies, engineering sciences, mechanics, systems and control, management and naval architecture and ocean engineering. The Bachelor degree in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering is an overarching programme, which explores the affinities of the core disciplines in different engineering branches and confers to the graduates a high degree of mobility to attend second cycle courses in the technological areas related to the naval architecture and ocean engineering activity or other engineering branches. coordinator Yordan Garbatov website https://fenix.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/cursos/lean main employers As there is only a degree of this speciality in Portugal, the professionals with this training have had a high demand on the part of the employers, namely to work in design and engineering offices, shipyards, survey and inspection companies, ship-owners, port administrations, higher education and research.

Education
Integrated Master Programme in Aerospace Engineering overview The Integrated Master Programme in Aerospace Engineering (MEAer) combines: (i) a broad multidisciplinary training in the “common core” attended by all students in the first 3 years; (ii) an extra diverse range of branches, profiles and specializations with great freedom of choice structured in the last 2 years. In this way, all MEAer students have a solid physical-mathematical background and fundamentals in engineering that also serve as the basis for a conscious and mature choice of subjects of specialization. The student entering the university faces a wide range of specialized courses among which it is difficult to make a clear choice. MEAer does not require a premature choice, providing an interdisciplinary training along the common trunk of 3 years of the programme, giving access to a wide variety of choice 3 specializations in the last 2 years: Aircraft, Avionics and Space. Altogether, MEAer offers more than 70 disciplines of which a student attends 45 in 9 semesters with the 10th semester dedicated to the master’s thesis for which there is an even wider choice of subjects. In the 3 branches a wide range of disciplines cover several areas of expertise: aerospace engineering, aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, safety technologies, control, computing, electronics, telecommunications, energy, and entrepreneurship. objectives The MEAer is a synthesis of the cutting-edge technologies that distinguish the 20th century, which are materialized into different types of vehicles, such as airplanes, helicopters, robotized aircrafts, spaceships and satellites. This course allows the Aerospace Engineer to intervene in all stages of the life-cycle of a vehicle, from its conception and project, to the operation and maintenance, tests and production.
Aerospace engineering is extremely interdisciplinary, providing a wide range of skills with a wide range of job market demand. The aerospace engineer in the aircraft and Avionics sectors can respectively perform the functions of mechanical or electrical engineer, although this is not the objective. The aerospace space engineer reinforces the electromechanical skills that are in great demand in many sectors of the Industry. coordinator Luiz Manuel Braga da Costa Campos website https://fenix.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/cursos/meaer main employers Advancer Logistics Group Albatroz Engenharia S.A. blueCAPE BNP Paribas CAE Critical Software Edisoft EDP Embraer Ericsson ESSE, Engineering und Software-Entwickling GmbH Euroatlantic Airways Galp Energia HI FLY Transportes Aéreos S.A.

Integrated Master Programme in Environmental Engineering overview The Integrated Master in Environmental Engineering at IST merges the traditional engineering knowledge with social economics, land use management and environmental technologies. This master programme is focus at the areas of environmental technology and management, the teaching being supported on the basic sciences of engineering, namely on solid knowledge of mathematics, physics and chemistry. The course considers the environmental problems from an integrated perspective (ecological, social, economic and technological) necessary to reach a sustainable and balanced development of the productive activities. It favours interdisciplinarity so that the horizontal character of Environmental Engineering is taken into account as well as the permanent evolution of the environmental sciences and technologies. The horizontal approach is supported at the IST by the fact that several departments are involved in the coordination, namely Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mining and Georesources Engineering and Chemical and Biological Engineering. The skills acquired during the programme take into consideration that the employment possibilities for an Environmental Engineer are very diverse. In terms of professional exits, the following may be considered: Industry (e.g. environmental management and wastes treatment), Consulting companies, Central, Regional and Local Administration, State and Private Organisms related with environment, Laboratories and Institutes of Research and Monitorization.
Integrated Master Programme in Mechanical Engineering overview The Integrated Master Programme in Mechanical Engineering at IST relies on the development of a wide range of competences fostering the integration of students and

Master Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering overview Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering consists mainly of design, construction, operation and management of systems that are related to the exploration of the resources of the sea and its aspects of maritime transportation and recreation activities. The training in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering provides the necessary education to conduct the professional activity in this subject area. This is the only programme that is taught in Portugal and these professionals have not been sufficient to meet employers’ demand in, for example, design and engineering offices; shipyards; ship operators; port terminals; expert and inspection companies; state departments; higher education and research; different industries and related services. It is also worth noting that the increasingly growth of sea transport activity and shipbuilding and repair worldwide gave rise to a lack of naval architects and ocean engineers across Europe. Therefore, some of the newly-graduates in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering have found a job in different European countries, especially over the last few years. objectives To provide the holders of the Master Programme in Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering the ability to perform engineering activities, including the design related to all types of vehicles that use the sea and the inner waters as a means of transportation, exploration of resources and leisure activities. Thus, they will be responsible for designing, building, maintaining and managing all types of vessels, ships and floating structures and for planning and managing sea and port operations that arise from the integration of sea transport in the multimodal transport and in logistical chains. The training provided reflects the progress of research and technology and goes in tandem with the existing teaching practices of the best European schools with which cooperation initiatives and student exchange programs have been promoted.

IN+ - Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research overview The IN+ Center for Innovation, Technology and Policy Research is a cross-disciplinary research venue, acting since 1998 to enhance the integration of scientific research in technology, innovation and public policies, with the final goal of promoting sustainable applications for science, industry and society. Institutionally, IN+ operates at Instituto Superior TĂŠcnico, University of Lisbon, and is one of the members of the associate laboratory LARSyS, funded by the National Science and Technology Foundation (FCT). IN+ brings together researchers from various academic backgrounds, who join efforts on the issue of sustainable innovation. It has grown to integrate competencies in sustainable energy systems, technology policy and advanced socio-economic research methods, linking three major research areas, often called Laboratories. Our Strategy is set to achieve a sustainable society through cooperation with industry and communities and by fostering a scientific and technological culture. We hope to improve the industrial and societal assimilation of knowledge, through an interactive approach that considers the overall value-chains associated with industrial, corporate and social processes. To complete these goals, we welcome university students and other researchers interested in discussing challenges and new opportunities for engineering systems and the related policy implications. Our vision is the establishment of routine procedures for collaborative product develop-
ment, thus: increasing product value and quality; reducing development time and life-cycle cost; satisfying the general design requirements of minimum energy consumption, recycling capability and environmental friendliness. It is this vision that determines our mission as a research center: IN+ aims to link basic and applied research to technology development regarding issues of sustainable innovation. We aim to improve the industrial and societal assimilation of knowledge, through an interactive approach to the overall value-chain associated with industrial, corporate and social processes. Thus IN+ acts in all steps of research, from the diagnosis of systems to the optimization of processes, going as far as engineering its own solutions. Our most recent research aims to: Optimize energy processes through research on microscale thermal phenomena and multiscale transport phenomena in energy systems, including interfacial transport in view of enhanced heat and mass transfer, fuel/liquid atomization, lean-combustion, burning biomass and gun-powder under unsteady combustion. Promote the development of cities, considering a) the complex interactions between people, technology, policy and urban infrastructures, to create “smarter citizens�; and b) the metabolism of urban areas, to support decision-making in energy and waste management networks.
