Description and Educational Objectives

The program allows for an in-depth study of the methodological, applicative, and constructive aspects of civil engineering sciences, transmitting knowledge and disciplines that contribute to the identification and solution of problems related to constructions and infrastructural systems. The program is divided into two curricula: Structures and Geotechnics, and Infrastructures and Transport Systems.

Structures and Geotechnics Curriculum

This curriculum aims to prepare professionals with specific competencies to manage maintenance, direct construction, design, and consolidate characteristic works of structural engineering (reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, steel, and masonry structures) and geotechnical engineering (earthworks, foundations, tunnels, excavations, and support works).

Infrastructures and Transport Systems Curriculum

This curriculum aims to prepare professionals who, in addition to having a general preparation in the field of civil engineering, have acquired specific competencies oriented towards the management of network systems in the service, distribution, and transport sectors, in order to manage maintenance, direct construction, and design works related to infrastructure engineering, such as roads, railways, airports, bridges, tunnels, and underground works.

Professional Outcomes

Graduates can pursue professional activities in various fields, including design, production, management, and organization, technical-commercial structure assistance, risk analysis, and safety management in prevention and emergency phases, both in free profession and in manufacturing or service companies, as well as in public administrations. They can find employment in construction and maintenance companies of civil works, plants, and infrastructures; professional studios and design companies for works, plants, and infrastructures; public offices for design, planning, management, and control of urban and territorial systems; companies, entities, consortia, and agencies for management and control of systems of works and services; service companies for the study of feasibility and urban and territorial impact of infrastructures.

Occupational Condition

The program provides indicators of effectiveness and satisfaction levels of graduates, including evaluation of teaching and student satisfaction.
