Organization
Faculty
The EPS faculty community accompanies and invites each person to personally embody the spirit and mission of the UFV, generating true experiences of encounter.
It is made up of faculty with a high level of quality in teaching, composed of professors with a long academic career, linked to research lines and projects in different forums, and professional experts, who combine their activity in the company with their teaching vocation. A culture of learning and continuous improvement is fostered in the community.
University Life
Students societies
The university experience is one of our main pillars. EPS students have a wide range of possibilities to live their university stage to the fullest, enriching themselves with the encounter with students from other University Degrees and other Faculties, student societies and clubs.
OPTIMUS
Each year, the Optimus Award recognizes the EPS student who the school’s professors consider to have made the best use of their time at the university. In short, an opportunity to make an extraordinary experience of their university years, both inside and outside the classroom, taking in “their backpack” transforming experiences that will serve them for their professional life and for the rest of the areas where they are also the key players in their training.
Research
The priority lines of research of the Higher Polytechnic School are encompassed in an interdisciplinary framework of the areas of knowledge that compose it, seeking an integrated vision. The main topics are: AI and Applications, Sustainable Transport, Energy and Sustainability, Advanced Materials, Robotics, Accessibility, Engineering and Women (ICT), Social Engineering, Intelligent Heritage, Urban Strategies, Smart Cities, Circular Economy.
The Higher Polytechnic School is committed to interdisciplinary research reinforced by strong partnerships with other faculties and institutions, inside and outside the UFV, national and international. Research is part of the teaching community, integrating naturally into the lives of professors and students.
