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

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)

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
