Maestría en Ingeniería Eléctrica

Hydroenergy is a renewable, clean, and abundant resource in Paraguay. It is necessary and imperative to have human resources adequately trained to carry out studies on planning, management, and maintenance of Electrical Energy Systems (EES), and thus achieve the appropriate use of this great energy source.

The Faculty of Engineering of the National University of the East (FPUNE), since 2004, has been taking on the challenge of responding to the demands of professional excellence in the geographical environment of the three borders, in the area of Electrical Engineering, through continuous training and specialization. The Masters Program in Electrical Engineering with a specialization in Planning of Electrical Energy Systems (PSEE) offered by the Faculty is a response to this challenge.

This Masters program produced the graduation and incorporation into the labor market of the first masters degree graduate in Electrical Engineering in Paraguay, which represents a strategic contribution to the harmonious development of the country.

Target audience:

Graduates of Electrical Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Electricity Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and professionals with a degree related to them.

Program Objective:

Training of high-level human resources capable of carrying out scientific research activities, teaching in higher education and postgraduate, as well as professional practice in the field of electrical engineering.

Graduate Profile:

The graduate of this Masters degree is expected to develop the following competencies:

  • Perform research functions within institutions or companies related to the energy sector.
  • Perform teaching and research functions within academic institutions.
  • Lead and work in a team in one of the following areas: generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization of electrical energy.
  • Be able to carry out activities related to the creation and evolution of electrical markets.

Masters duration: 18 months for module development and 12 months for thesis preparation.
