With a focus on renewable energies, energy efficiency, and biomedical interconnections, it emphasizes cross-disciplinary research supported by specialized labs and partnerships with leading institutions and universities.

Program Outline

Degree Overview:

This program is a Doctorado en Ingeniería de Instrumentación Industrial Aplicada a Transporte Inteligente y Energía Sostenible (Doctorate in Industrial Instrumentation Engineering Applied to Intelligent Transport and Sustainable Energy). It is a semi-presencial (blended) program offered by the Universidad Europea de Madrid. The program aims to introduce students to scientific research and its application in daily practice. It focuses on the development of research in areas like computer engineering, control engineering, renewable energies, and energy efficiency, with interconnections to biomedicine and health.

Outline:

The program is structured into two modules:

• Module Formativo (Formative Module): This module is designed for students who have not previously taken equivalent courses and provides a 12 ECTS credit complement in research methodology and procedures related to environmental sustainability and energy optimization in buildings.
• Recursos asociados a la actividad investigadora (Resources Associated with Research Activity):
3 ECTS
• Prácticum (Practical):
3 ECTS
• Module Investigador (Research Module): After completing the research training modules, students will present their doctoral thesis project.
Once the project is approved, students will continue with the thesis development. The thesis director will propose actions and deadlines for successful thesis completion. The doctoral thesis will be an original research work related to the field of education, developed by the future doctoral candidate. Doctoral students will be integrated into one of the research groups associated with the doctoral program, where they will develop their doctoral thesis under the supervision of a thesis director, who is always a member of the research group.

Teaching:

• The program's faculty consists of doctors specialized in the program's research lines, with extensive recognized experience, high-impact publications, and research sexenios.
