Civil Engineering

Engineering and Arquitecture

Knowledge of the history of civil engineering and training to analyse and assess both construction in general and specific public works
Knowledge and ability to apply management techniques and labour legislation
Capacity to maintain, upkeep and operate infrastructure in the area
Capacity to study regional planning and environmental aspects related to infrastructure in the field
Ability to conduct surface or underwater catchment design studies within the scope of the profession
Capacity to maintain and conserve water and energy resources in their area
Ability to design, supervise and direct work in the field
Knowledge, understanding and ability to apply the necessary legislation in the practise of the profession of Civil Engineer
Understanding the multiple technical and legal constraints arising in the construction of public works, ability to use proven methods and proven technologies, in order to achieve greater efficiency in construction, while respecting the environment and protecting the health and safety of workers and users of public works
Scientific and technical training to practise the profession of Civil Engineer, together with a knowledge of consulting, analysis, design, calculation, construction, maintenance and operation
The objectives of paragraph 3 of Order CIN / 307/2009 will to be attained by students shall be specified in the teaching guide for each subject, which, in this case are as follows:

Graduates will possess all the competencies needed to draw up and sign off on projects, direct construction works, or teach in private and public institutions for the following specialities: Civil constructions, Urban Hydrology, Urban Transportation, and Urban Services. This degree qualifies you to work as a Technical Civil Engineer

Specific Skills

Capacity to build and maintain roads, together with sizing, design and elements of basic road allocation
Capacity to build and maintain railway lines and know how to implement specific technical standards and the distinguishing characteristics of rolling stock
Knowledge of the regulatory framework of urban management
Knowledge of the influence of infrastructure in regional planning and participation in the development of urban public space, such as water distribution, sanitation, waste management, transport systems, traffic, lighting, etc
Knowledge of the design and operation of infrastructure for modes of transport, such as ports, airports, railway stations and transport logistics centres and interchanges

Students must have:

A solid foundation in maths, physics, chemistry, and technical drawing; good observation and analytical skills; the ability to quickly perform numerical calculations and resolve quantifiable problems; and possess abstract and logical reasoning skills.
We also recommend students have a basic understanding of English, equivalent to that needed for baccalaureate and university entrance (EBAU) exams
Finally, we would like to stress that manual skills will be needed throughout the course, and once finished, in order to operate machinery
We also highly value the following personal traits: showing initiative, the ability to work in a team, personal autonomy, working well under pressure, leadership skills, showing responsibility and interest in putting theory into practice for real-world problems
Likewise, it is important to be able to use mathmatical models to establish a relationship between observable reality and the description of this reality
