University Background Before 1981 Engineering Graduates from outside Macao, namely, HK,

Portugal, China, Taiwan, USA, UK, and other countries

1981 University of East Asia (3-year private English university)(No Engineering Degrees)

1989 Creation of the Faculty of Science and Technology,UEA(4-year Bachelor’s degree in EEE, Software Eng. and later EME)

1991 UEA re-baptized as University of Macau (Public University)

1993 First Batch of Graduates in EEE

1994 First Batch of Graduates in Software Engineering

Beginning of the 1990’s IEEE Members less than 10

Fast GrowthFast Growth New Developments

1992 to 1996 Incinerator, Airport, Air Macau, Internet from CTM, New Power Plants from CEM, Vodatel and others…

1993 & 1994 Starting of Master Programs in EEE and Software Engineering at UM

1996 Starting of Ph.D. Programs in EEE and Software Engineering at UM

6/1996 3rd. International Workshop on Services in Distributed and Networked Environments – organized by FST/UM and the IEEE Technical Committee on Distributed Processing

1998 Creation of IEEE Student Branch at UM

2000 Macao University of Science and Technology (MUST) with Programs (P-Grad) in Information Technology

2000 First Ph.D. in FST / UM (and in Macao) in EEE (joint-degree UM-Technical University of Lisbon)

2001 to 2002 3 other Ph.D’s in FST / UM also in EEE

Beginning of the 2000’s IEEE Members around 100

MaturityMaturity

Consolidated Numbers1993 to 2003 Close to 550 Bachelor degree holders in EEE,

Software, and EME (FST / UM)

1993 to 2003 More than 70 Master degree holders in EEE, Software, and EME (FST / UM)

Area : MicroelectronicsPh.D. work in Electrical and Electronics EngineeringPresented and Published in the World Top Conference in the Field[IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference – ISSCC, San Francisco, USA, 2002]

**Only 2 Universities in China were able to publish in 50 editions of this ConferenceHong Kong University of Science and Technology-HKUST & University of Macau-UM**

Technical Contribution for the creation of a CompanyChipidea Microelectronics (Macao)

In collaboration with Chipidea Microelectronics -CI (Tagus-Park) Portugal, UM has technically supported the creation of the First Microelectronics Design Center in Macao

The company is managed locally by an Assistant Professor of UM (that has got a joint Ph.D. degree awarded by UM and the Technical University of Lisbon-Portugal), that is now in a regime of no-paid leave

It is already staffed with 20 Electrical and Electronics Engineers graduated in UM that have passed an intensive period of training in CI in Portugal

after graduation (Good Ties between University and Company)

High Level Research Result

Scientific References and Publications

To promote High-Level Research work the University of Macau

acquired in 2000 the IEEE Xplore Database that contains currently

more than 1Million Scientific Papers

The Emergence of Master and Ph.D. programs led to the

Publication of Numerous Papers in IEEE International

Conferences and Scientific Journals

Main Titles : Journal of Solid-State Circuits, Transactions on Circuits

and Systems, Transactions on Power Electronics, Transactions on

Instrumentation and Measurement, Proceedings of International Solid-

State Circuits Conference, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, IEE

Electronics Letters.
