Railway and Metro Engineering – Joinville Campus
The Joinville Campus’ Railway and Metro Engineering program is designed to provide a comprehensive technical-scientific and professional education, equipping students with the skills to identify, formulate and solve engineering challenges. The curriculum fosters a systemic approach, enabling graduates to excel in four key areas: mechanical design – rolling stock; electrical-electronic systems design; railway and metro system maintenance, and operations management.
More specifically, railway and metro engineers trained in this program are prepared to work in fields such as: railway and metro dynamics; rolling stock design and maintenance (including locomotives, wagons and passenger cars); materials for railway and metro systems; railway and metro communication, signaling and operation systems; permanent way design; accident prevention and investigation within railway and metro contexts.
The railway and metro sector has received increased attention in Brazil due to the need for sustainable development. New investments in the expansion of railway lines have ensured the recent growth of the railway industry. Moreover, the concern about urban mobility has demanded investment in new metro lines, surface trains, monorails and high-speed trains. Many companies are installed or being installed in Brazil to promote rolling stock design and new technologies and solutions for this sector.
