You will receive a broad education with a solid technical foundation, utilizing modern technology in the main subareas of Civil Engineering. This provides the opportunity to specialize in cross-cutting themes, valuing inter and transdisciplinary approaches.
The area of Structures and Materials enables the design and construction of buildings, bridges, and large structures, using reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete, steel, and new materials. Geotechnical Engineering focuses on the study of the behavior of soils, rocks, and new geotechnical materials for works related to slope stabilization, foundations, tunnels, excavations, dams, etc. In Transportation, the goal is to implement transportation infrastructure for the construction of roads, highways, and railways. The Water Resources area focuses on water resources management and sanitation for water supply and treatment projects, wastewater collection and treatment, stormwater management and urban drainage, solid waste management, dams and reservoirs, irrigation systems, as well as river, estuarine, and coastal works. The Construction Engineering area considers the integration of different areas through a collaborative workflow, 3D modeling, management, planning, and execution of civil engineering works.
