Polytechnic of Porto - School of Engineering (ISEP) is a public polytechnic higher learning and research engineering institute, located in the city of Porto, Portugal. ISEP is divided in 8 departments, with an emphasis on applied science and technology. ISEP was founded by the minister Fontes Pereira de Melo in 1852 as ''Escola Industrial do Porto'' (Porto School of Industry) to support the industrialization of Portugal, and some time later upgraded to ''Instituto Industrial do Porto'' (Porto Institute of Industry). Since 1989, was grouped with other schools in the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. Its motto is ''Saber Fazer'' — "Know-how". Today, ISEP is one of the biggest and best known engineering schools in Portugal, with well over 6000 students and 500 faculty members. It has research facilities for real-time systems, artificial intelligence, knowledge based systems, and decision support systems, some of them internationally recognized as leading R&D centers (e.g. (GECAD ), (CISTER ), (LSA ))〔 (Grupo de Investigação em Engenharia do Conhecimento e Apoio à Decisão/ISEP )〕〔 http://www.cister.isep.ipp.pt/quicknews/21/cister%2Bquicknews%2B%252D%2B20%2Bmar%2B2012/#136cbb4ba7db8f72_Polytechnic]〕 as accredited by the ''Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia'' of the Portuguese Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education. ==History== The institution has had several names and different roles since its foundation in 1852:〔 (''Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto - Identidade de uma escola com raízes oitocentistas'', Author: Luís Alberto Marques Alves, Professor at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto ), in ''Sísifo - Revista de Ciências da Educação'' (University of Lisbon)〕 * 1852 The ''Escola Industrial do Porto'' (School of Industry) is founded by the minister Fontes Pereira de Melo, during the reign of King Pedro V of Portugal. * 1864 The school was transformed into an Institute, as ''Instituto Industrial do Porto'' (Institute of Industry), and was integrated into the new Industrial sector on the frame of the ''Instituto Industrial de Lisboa'' established in Lisbon. * 1905 It was allowed to provide higher education (''ensino superior''). * 1918 The institute was reorganized and transformed again into a non-higher education technical institute of intermediate education (''ensino médio'') by the minister Azevedo Neves reforms. It started coferring the titles of ''engenheiro auxiliar'' (auxiliary engineer) by law ''Lei 1 638 de 23 de Julho de 1924'' in 1924, and ''agente técnico de engenharia'' (technical agent of engineering) from 1926 onwards. * 1975 After the Carnation Revolution of 1974, the institute was upgraded to higher education status and started to award 4-year ''bacharelato'' degrees conferring the title of technical engineer (''engenheiro técnico''). Integrated into the university sector and renamed ''ISEP - Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto'' (Superior Institute of Engineering), it conferred technical engineering degrees while the universities awarded 5-year engineering degrees. * 1989 By force of law ''Decreto-Lei n.º 389/88, de 25 de Outubro'' (1988), ISEP was integrated into the newly created polytechnic sector and made part of the Polytechnic Institute of Porto. It started to award exclusively 3-year ''bacharelato'' degrees conferring the title of technical engineer (''engenheiro técnico'') and CESE (''Curso de Estudos Superiores Especializados'') courses conferring the DESE (''Diploma de Estudos Superiores Especializados'') diploma, a complementary diploma to the ''bacharelato'' degree. * 1998 ISEP started to award ''licenciatura bietápica'' degrees (3-year ''bacharelato'' plus 2 extra years conferring the ''licenciatura'', equivalent to the ''licenciatura'' (licentiate) degree which until then had been awarded only by the universities). * 2004 ISEP seen its first engineering ''licenciatura'' courses accredited by the ''Ordem dos Engenheiros'', the Portuguese engineering association. The first accredited courses were in chemical engineering and electronic engineering. Beyond the public universities, only Lisbon (ISEL) and Porto (ISEP) state-run polytechnic engineering institutions had accredited courses in the ''Ordem dos Engenheiros'' in 2006. * 2007 Like the other Portuguese polytechnic institutions, on the frame of the Bologna process, ISEP was allowed to start awarding independent masters' degrees as a second cycle of study after the initial 3-year first cycle which grant a ''licenciatura''. Previously, since 2002, it only awarded master's degrees in some fields with the support of Instituto Superior Técnico a university engineering institution from Lisbon. * 2014 ISEP becomes the Higher Education Institution in Portugal with the most number of study plans certified by EUR-ACE standards. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
