Development of critical sense
Investing in research promotes more specialized training, favouring important aspects for the development of undergraduate students. Through the project, for example, it is possible to have greater critical sense, creativity, discipline, among other relevant qualities. The work also expands the student's worldview, directly influencing his performance in the job market.
Increase chance of standing out in job interviews
Another advantage is that it increases the chances in selective postgraduate processes and in the student's professional practice. Currently, the research work contemplates a series of aspects valued in the market, such as critical analysis, autonomy and determination to overcome difficulties and challenges. Therefore, the possibility of standing out in job interviews increases considerably, making you a more competitive professional.
Networking with professors who are references in the field
Last, but not least, it provides the undergraduate student with direct contact with professors who are references in their areas of expertise. Thus, the student has the chance to enhance his networking, absorbing technical and methodological knowledge that collaborate to expand the learning of his object of study .



Research Topics
LAMEC develops projects in areas such as dynamic analysis of offshore structures, soil-structure interaction, and fluid-structure interaction. Furthermore, the lab strongly encourages scientific production, with active participation in national and international conferences, publication of scientific articles, and the development of undergraduate research projects.
About LAMEC
The LAMEC — Laboratory of Computational Modeling Methods is a space dedicated to the academic and scientific training of undergraduate students, linked to the Technology Center at the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). Its main objective is to provide students with a differentiated research experience, contributing to the development of technical, analytical, and critical skills — fundamental abilities for both pursuing graduate studies and performing competitively in the job market.

Knowledge Building
At LAMEC, students are challenged to solve real engineering problems using tools such as computational modeling, structural analysis, numerical simulations, and the development of innovative solutions. The laboratory acts as a bridge between theory and practice, fostering autonomy, discipline, critical thinking, and the ability to work collaboratively.
External Relation and Collab
One of LAMEC's great differentials is the direct collaboration with professors and researchers from top-tier universities in Brazil and abroad, such as USP, UNICAMP, UnB, and UFSM, among others. This academic cooperation network provides students with access to cutting-edge methodologies, updated discussions, and high-level mentoring, further enhancing their education. This connection also opens doors to exchange programs, graduate studies, and participation in high-impact scientific and technological projects.
“LAMEC's mission goes far beyond technical training. The lab is also a space for personal growth, autonomy building, and the development of a scientific and critical mindset, where students are constantly encouraged to pursue excellence, overcome challenges, and build a solid academic and professional path — capable of opening opportunities both inside and outside the university.”
