CIVIL ENGINEERING

Program Objective

The Civil Engineering program encompasses the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure, integrating knowledge of calculus, mechanics, hydraulics, and physics. This comprehensive training responds to the demands of a highly sought-after professional field both nationally and internationally.

Graduate Profile

The graduate of the Civil Engineering program must possess both the knowledge and skills to integrate quickly into professional practice, as well as the ability to pursue further academic studies at the postgraduate level. Civil Engineering graduates will have the following competencies:

  • Development of high-quality civil engineering project plans, structural calculations, and cost estimations, ensuring appropriate resistance and full compliance with all required regulations.
  • Identification and description of the most suitable materials needed to achieve the best construction outcome at the best price.
  • Description of construction processes to be applied in different types of civil works, ensuring construction safety and proper adherence to project timelines.
  • Ability to communicate technical information clearly and effectively to engineers, managers, workers, and decision-makers.
  • Capacity to conduct technical and scientific research to deepen knowledge and generate new advancements in areas related to engineering and the basic sciences.
  • Ability to develop work plans that include objectives, timelines, required personnel, and specific roles.
  • Capability to manage and oversee construction processes with technical expertise and confidence, meeting objectives while complying with labor, ethical, and safety regulations.

Career Opportunities

The professional practice of Civil Engineers goes beyond technical expertise, integrating analytical skills, responsible decision-making, and a practical perspective oriented toward solving real-world challenges across diverse engineering environments.

UPA Civil Engineering graduates conceive, design, and manage infrastructure projects with an innovative and sustainable vision, integrating scientific and technological rigor, economic and environmental analysis, and the leadership of multidisciplinary teams to deliver safe, efficient, and high-impact projects.
