Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa - Universities and Colleges on Waymarking.com

ISEL (Instituto Superior de Engenharia de Lisboa) constitutes an example of a long tradition of engineering education. It is characterized by the intention to teach know-how, towards pedagogical practice within a criterion of constant curricula update. The courses curricula are guided by learning concepts and methods, typically the students evaluation is based on laboratory projects followed by an oral discussion, and seminar presentations. This method privileges and foments the student ability to confront, in a creative and innovative way, identical problems as in professional life in engineering.

Lisbon Superior Engineering Institute has resulted from the restructuring of an institution with a long-standing tradition in engineering teaching in Portugal, the Industrial Institute of Lisbon (Instituto Industrial de Lisboa), which was created in 1852 by Royal Decree signed by Queen Maria II. Since 1988 it became part of a network of Polytechnic Higher Education establishments, integrated in IPL - Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (Instituto Politécnico de Lisboa).

The IPL comprises eight schools in the fields of engineering, arts, education communication, health and accounting and administration, in which ISEL is the representative of engineering and the biggest institution here integrated. It provides Degree Courses in five different areas of engineering:

- Chemical Engineering Department
- Civil Engineering Department
- Electronic and Telecommunications and Computer Engineering Department
- Electrical Industrial and Automation Engineering Department
- Mechanical Engineering Department

With the Bologna reform, introduced at ISEL in the academic year of 2006/2007, the 5-year (1st + 2nd Cycle) courses where transformed into 3-years graduation courses, by which the graduates have their engineering degree (Licenciatura) and 2-year Master courses (Master degree). After completed successfully the 3+2 years curricula, conferring respectively the Licentiateships and Masters Degree, students are eligible for admission to research activities leading to a Doctoral degree.
