Most Similar Schools Locally
- Think of Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Sul when computer vision, automation and engineering is the priority: it is slightly larger, at about 19,000 students against roughly 16,000 here, and is also a public institution.
- For students who like the computer vision, automation and engineering focus of this institution but want another option nearby, Federal Institute of Goiás fits well: it runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes, and is slightly smaller, at about 12,000 students against roughly 16,000 here.
- Federal Institute of Santa Catarina follows much the same lines as this institution, with computer vision, automation and engineering as common ground, and it teaches at the same levels, namely bachelor's, master's and diploma, and has almost the same size, at about 15,000 students.
- Federal Institute of Pernambuco follows much the same lines as this school, with computer vision, automation and engineering as common ground, and it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes.
- A good alternative in the same country is Federal Institute of Minas Gerais, which likewise covers computer vision, automation and engineering; it is also a public institution, and runs the same bachelor's, master's and diploma programmes.
Most Similar Schools Abroad
- Seoul National University of Science and Technology in South Korea is the nearest foreign match on automation and engineering; it is also a public institution and does not run the diploma programmes found here.
- Beyond national borders, Hanyang University stands out as a comparable school for computer vision and engineering; it covers mechanical engineering as well, and is larger, enrolling about 25,000 students against roughly 16,000 here.
- The closest overseas parallel on automation and engineering is Bauman Moscow State Technical University, located in Russia; it covers aerospace and robotics as well, and is slightly larger, at about 22,000 students against roughly 16,000 here.
- For automation and engineering outside the home country, University of South-Eastern Norway in Norway is a natural reference; it also offers doctoral programmes and covers marine science and nanotechnologies as well.
- University of Science and Technology Beijing in China shares the automation and engineering orientation of this institution, and it covers chemical engineering and physics as well, and is larger, enrolling about 27,311 students against roughly 16,000 here.
*our own picks (our criteria: a mix between domains, diploma delivered, reputation and size), but obviously too many criteria for an apple-to-apple ranking.
- Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM), Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM), Engineering, Industrial Automation, Research and Development, Robotics
*: without any judgment of the quality, readers are strongly encouraged to check the official status of the exact diploma envisioned as many universities have a mix of recognized diplomas, not recognized, “co-delivered,” “equivalent to”, “some pathways” (…), can change over time, and can be named differently from one country to another.
**: international reputation: is based on some criteria that do not mean much in some domains or specialties (number of researchers, of scientific publications, on budget ….). Our approximate 1-4 scale:
- known locally
- known locally and internationally
- is listed in some of the world university’s classifications
- is listed among the 20 firsts in some of world university’s classifications
***: estimated numbers, based on online sources and/or feedbacks. The numbers can vary greatly depending on school organisation (ex.: school is part of a group, it employs internal staff or external consultants or has public staff without employing them …).
