goals
To train specialized graduates with advanced knowledge in electricity and electronics and their applications, highly trained to solve social and/or industrial problems through the use of techniques and methodologies from the program's development areas.
Applicant Profile
According to Article 19 of the General Regulations for Master's Programs of the Austral University of Chile (Decree 022/2014), the admission requirements are:
1. Hold a Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional title, both in the area of electrical and electronic engineering.
2. In exceptional cases, the program may consider evaluating applicants with academic degrees or professional titles in fields related to electricity and electronics. In such cases, applications will be evaluated by the Program Committee, and if necessary, the applicant will be asked to develop a leveling plan.
3. Demonstrate outstanding or distinguished academic performance in previous studies that reflects alignment with the prior knowledge requirements defined in the curriculum activities of the program's Study Plan. To fulfill this requirement, applicants must submit transcripts of grades from previous courses as supporting documentation for their application, including the corresponding grades and information on the grading system, certified by the issuing educational institution.
4. Demonstrate adequate proficiency in the Spanish language (in the case of foreign students).
5. Attach a letter of motivation including topics of interest related to the master's program.
6. Attach a curriculum vitae that documents the trajectory of academic and professional activities carried out that are relevant and pertinent to the interest in further studies in the program
Graduate profile
Graduates of the Master's Program in Applied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at UACh will possess a solid scientific and technological foundation, enabling them to contribute specialized solutions in the program's field. Upon completion of the program, graduates will have the following competencies:
Generic transversal skills:
1. Solve applied engineering problems in the field of electricity and electronics, from a rigorous scientific approach.
2. To act with high standards of professional, social and ethical responsibility in highly specialized developments and innovations for the benefit of society.
3. Develop highly specialized solutions in the field of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, or in a multidisciplinary context, under the guidance of a Sponsoring Professor.
4. Communicate methodologies, results and conclusions effectively, both orally and in writing, to contribute to the development of the discipline.
Specific disciplinary competencies:
1. Design and execute laboratory and/or simulation activities aimed at validating the working hypotheses of highly specialized innovations/solutions.
2. Design and/or implement solutions to problems in the field of electricity and electronics, through mathematical-computational modeling and integration of technologies in electrical systems, to carry out applied research and/or innovation.
3. Develop modeling, control and/or decision-making strategies in electrical and electronic systems under uncertainty, which allow for improved performance.
Lines of investigation
The Master's Program will have two areas of development:
1. Electricity: This area will focus on energy systems (renewable energy, electrical and power systems) and automatic control (modeling, control theory and system identification).
2. Electronics: This area will focus on applications of electronics, particularly robotics, bioengineering, nanotechnology, and astroengineering.
