Is this right for you?
If you are inquisitive and analytical, have an affinity for mathematics and physics, and would like to contribute to society’s development with major infrastructure works, the civil engineering program is the right place for you.
The objective of the B.S. in Civil Engineering program is to train professionals that plan, design and/or manage construction projects for transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges, railways, ports, airports), building (housing, offices, industrial buildings) and management of water (dams, catchment and control works, drinking water and sewerage networks, storm drainage, treatment plants) with a high commitment to the environment, as well as ethical and social responsibility. Its graduates are entrepreneurs, who lead the implementation of public or private projects related to civil engineering, using the most innovative practices and technologies in their professional field.
Competencies
- Design structural systems applying advanced methods, the regulatory framework, technical specification, and efficiency and sustainability criteria.
- Manage construction projects efficiently, complying with current technical standards and economic-financial feasibility.
- Design hydraulic infrastructure systems based on the established standards and considering the integral management of the natural environment.
- Conduct geotechnical studies, in accordance with current scientific and regulatory criteria.
- Design transportation and service infrastructure systems, based on the current needs of a specific region, regulations and development plans.

The three stages of the model
Choose your path
Exploration
- You will open your competency file and add to it throughout your degree program.
- You will learn the foundations of the area of Built Environment.
- You will participate in fundamental and exploration challenges from the area of Built Environment, interacting with peers from different degree programs.
- You will study general education courses, selecting them from a collection.
- You will participate in a challenge that integrates all the competencies to be developed in this phase.
Focus
- You will acquire the core competencies of your degree, in other words, those that distinguish it.
- You will participate in more focused challenges to reinforce what you have learned and broaden your basic knowledge.
- You will have the elements to decide whether to deepen your knowledge or diversify and, subsequently, build your specialization plan.
- The Tec Weeks, challenges and overall university experiences will enrich your file.
Specialization
-
You have decided between diversifying or focusing deeply in your major, which you will achieve by choosing a concentration or a stay, to name a few of your options. The TEC Semester is a flexible time to start.
- You will develop the competencies related to your specialization, increasingly connected to your passions, interests and plans.
- By passing a concentration, you will develop your competencies, and, on graduating, will be a candidate for obtaining a Diploma in that concentration, after meeting the established requirements.
