•  Knowledge of science in Mechanical Engineering;
• Competencies, skills and research methods associated with these fields of science;
• Ability to design, deploy, adapt and carry out significant research in compliance with requirements imposed by the standards of academic quality and integrity;
• Having performed a significant amount of original research that has contributed to the expansion of the frontiers of knowledge, some of which deserve disclosure national or international publications with the selection committee;
• Be able to critically analyze, evaluate and synthesise new and complex ideas;
• Being able to communicate with their peers, academic community and society at large over the area of specialization;
• Being able, in a knowledge-based society, to promote the academic or professional qualification, technological progress, social or cultural.
