The Department of Information Science and Technologies (DCTI) was created in 1988 and is currently the largest department at Iscte, with 60 professors who hold doctorates. Despite being a young department on the national university scene, DCTI teachers were responsible for the enormously successful creation of several pioneering courses at the School of Technologies and Architecture (ISTA), namely the Degree in IT and Business Management in 1989 and the Degree in Telecommunications and IT Engineering in 1998 (the first of its kind at the national level).
The skills of DCTI teachers focus essentially on the scientific areas of Computer Science, IT, Information Systems, Electronics and Telecommunications, ensuring the teaching of the vast majority of curricular units in ISTA's 12 technological courses, with these courses having an employability rate greater than 99%, the best at the national level. This high level of employability is the result of continuous efforts by DCTI teachers to adjust the curricular structure and content of ISTA's various technological courses, in constant coordination with the job market and international best practices. To this end, the main employers are frequently consulted to understand their needs and to ensure they are reflected in the curricular development of the courses. The proximity of teachers to companies, as well as to the main national and international professional associations in the field, such as the Order of Engineers (OE), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), is essential for achieving this objective, but with a more transversal scope, in courses within the responsibility of other schools at Iscte.
In addition to the high quality pedagogical aspect, recognized both nationally and internationally, DCTI teachers also carry out top research and development activities in their respective scientific areas in several of the most prestigious research centers in the country, including the Institute of Telecommunications (IT), the Center for Research in Information Sciences, Technologies and Architecture (ISTAR) and the Institute of Engineering Systems and Computers (INESC), among others.
The recognition of the pedagogical and scientific capabilities of DCTI teachers is embodied in the high number of partnerships with other universities and companies (national and foreign), both in terms of student exchange in ERASMUS and IAESTE programs, and in research and development projects – national and international – also typically carried out in partnership with other university institutions and companies.
The high level of pedagogical and scientific skills among DCTI teachers ensures the most advanced and stimulating teaching environment in all curricular units where they teach, allowing students to develop their abilities to the fullest and face their professional future with confidence through solid, modern, and nationally and internationally recognised training.
