Learn more about the program
The Master’s Degree in Engineering and Sustainable Process Management has only one concentration area, Process and Product Development and Management, and aims to qualify professionals to act in the industrial, academic, and scientific fields, being able to absorb and develop innovative technologies, and to create less polluting and environmentally correct materials, products, and process.
History of the program:
The Master’s Degree in Engineering and Sustainable Process Management is an evolution of the former Graduate Program in Process Engineering, created in March 2006 after approval by CEPE on June 17, 2004, and recognition by CAPES on July 27, 2005. It was the institution’s second institutional master’s program, designed in alignment with its mission, vision, and the regional demand at the time for highly qualified professionals. The program restructuring was approved by the University Council (CONSUN) in June 2023, authorizing the formal submission to CAPES of requests to change the basic/evaluation area from Engineering II to Interdisciplinary, as well as to change the program’s name. The request for the area change was approved in 2024. Subsequently, the program’s name was officially changed to “Graduate Program in Engineering and Management of Sustainable Processes”, formalized and published through CAPES Ordinance No. 48, of March 11, 2025.
Master in Process Engineering’s Profile:
Graduates holding a Master’s degree in Engineering and Management of Sustainable Processes are expected to have the skills to work in an integrative manner in the development and management of new environmentally sustainable processes and/or products, both in academic-scientific contexts and industrial processes.
Students’ profile: professionals graduate in Engineering, Chemistry, Industrial Chemistry, Computer Science, Pharmacy, Physics, Mathematics, as well as technologists in Chemistry, Materials, Mechanics, Automation, and Industrial Processes. Other courses in similar areas will be subject to type-approved by the master’s collegiate.

LINES OF RESEARCH
Cleaner technologies applied to processes and products.
This line of research mainly aims to develop production processes and economically viable alternatives to obtain products of industrial interest, including that waste valorization, reuse, treatment, and management, as well as the development of safe and environmentally correct products, services, and packages during their life cycle, to reduce the environmental impact caused by the material accumulation.

Product, Knowledge, and Innovation Management
This line of research deals with issues related to product, knowledge, and innovation management processes present in organizations, trying to reach sustainability, considering the theoretical-methodological bases to promote reflections, improvements and new and more integrated and coordinated processes. In Production Management, the objects of study are the innovation and the improvement of industrial and organizational processes, aiming to anticipate problems, reduce costs, and maximize sustainable results. In Knowledge Management, the objects of study are the models and processes of knowledge socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization, addressed to greater effectiveness in organizations. In Innovation Management, the objects of study are the models of innovation management in organizations, educational institutions, and other innovation habitats, and a precursor and adjacent processes that lead to innovation.
