Presentation of the Degree
Informatics is the relative science or technique in technology that studies the automatic processing of information using electronic devices and computer systems. In computing, the foundations of computer science, programming, methodologies for the development of software and communications converge.
In the Degree in Computer Engineering, you will develop the knowledge and skills necessary to conceive, design, develop, maintain and manage computer systems for problems that range from information management in the business context, through control and management problems and devices. industrial, to problems of management of services and infrastructures of computing, communication and information storage. Graduates in Computer Engineering are fully prepared to study, design and install computer networks, industrial informatics and systems engineering projects, software engineering projects and information application systems.
In addition, if you are good students and are interested in technical studies and business management, you can take the Double bachelor's degree: in Computer Engineering + in Business Administration and Management

Double international degrees
Computer Engineering & Computer Engineering
The Polytechnic School offers a double international degree in Computer Engineering & Computer Engineering with the Brazilian University of Facens.
Facens is located in the city of Sorocaba. The city, founded in 1654, is located 90 km from São Paulo and has 670,000 inhabitants. FACENS is the first higher education institution in the sector founded in Sorocaba and which won the Higher Award in the institutional concept of the Ministry of Education in 2018, among other awards from other institutions. It has recently become a full-fledged university offering not only engineering studies but others. FACENS is an entrepreneurial institution with many and diverse laboratories and innovation centers (Smart Campus, LIGA Facens, Ipeas, FabLab ...) aimed at the professional sector and development, but also open to all students who want to participate. We must also highlight the sustainable development objectives involved in all its projects.
