Curriculum

The primary goal of the Civil Engineering Undergraduate Program is to develop first-level engineers with a strong foundational knowledge in both civil and environmental engineering. Students will gain essential skills in areas such as structural, hydraulic, geotechnical, and transportation engineering, as well as environmental technologies, environmental protection, and safety.

The program emphasizes understanding the methodological and deductive aspects of mathematics and physics, the structure and transformations of matter through chemistry, and the principles of mechanics, with a particular focus on modeling the behavior of materials, structures, fluids, and soils. It also covers the design and integration of infrastructure projects, including both point and network structures, and architectural elements.

Students will learn to navigate constraints related to safety, regulatory requirements, and environmental and territorial compatibility. The curriculum includes a deep dive into the methodological, applied, and construction aspects of civil engineering, focusing on the mechanical behavior of solids, fluids, and soils and their interactions.

Graduates will be trained to evaluate the feasibility and technical-economic sustainability of complex systems and infrastructure projects. The program also aims to build expertise in the planning, design, and management of civil infrastructure through coursework in structural theory, structural dynamics, construction techniques, foundation and excavation methods, road and railway construction, hydraulic engineering, transportation, engineering economics and law, and construction site safety and organization.
