Civil Engineering professionals are at the forefront of the design of innovative urban infrastructure, employing sophisticated planning approaches that incorporate considerations such as climate change and evolving demographic patterns. Their core objective is to prioritize sustainability, optimize energy use, and advocate for resource preservation within the framework of engineering principles.
Civil engineers shape future landscapes, actively contributing to sustainable development initiatives and imprinting their influence on global infrastructure.
The objectives for graduates of the Civil Engineering programme include achieving the following outcomes:
- Continuous professional development through problem solving, lifelong learning, and digital skills;
- Provide economical and sustainable solutions to complex civil engineering problems;
- A comprehensive understanding of civil engineering materials to select the appropriate solution for a given application;
- Develop, establish, plan, and execute tasks within a team whose members together provide leadership;
- Using engineering, science, and mathematics principles to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems;
- Achieving safe and sustainable solutions by selecting and using appropriate engineering and computational tools;
- Use the latest construction technologies and calculations to design buildings and structures.
Civil Engineering graduates may work in construction and building design organizations, building maintenance and engineering research organizations, departments of ministries, municipalities of towns and districts, and departments of some ministries (Ministry of Transport and Communications, Ministry of Roads, Ministry of Energy), as well as in other state-owned companies, or may pursue a Master's degree.
The aim of the Master's programme in Building Information Modelling is to equip students with professional engineering expertise and skills essential for BIM managerial roles. This includes proficiency in project design, implementation, asset management, and staying up-to-date with the latest engineering information modeling advancements.
The Building Information Modelling Master's Programme aims to foster the following student skills:
- Select and employ inventive information technology solutions within the design, construction, and property management domains.
- Develop the capacity to strategize and execute digitalization solutions within the construction sector.
- Effectively prepare and coordinate the development aspects of integrated construction projects.
- Organizing and executing construction and manufacturing processes, as well as managing maintenance tasks for built properties using information modeling.
- Create BIM implementation strategies for both company-wide and project-specific contexts.
- Recognize, initiate, and execute processes, in addition to monitoring and facilitating changes in workplace culture.
Working as a BIM manager for building and infrastructure information modeling, BIM project coordinator or BIM expert within private and public builders and developers' organizations, property management entities, design, contracting, and manufacturing companies. Also, considering doctoral studies for career progression.
The Master degree in Structural Engineering will:
- evelop analytical thinking;
- Enhance and improve the competences acquired during the Bachelor's degree;
- Apply scientific analysis in the study process to develop new competences and analytical thinking;
- Help advance your career and obtain professional qualifications;
- Allowing you to pursue different levels of professional qualifications. This in turn leads to better bargaining positions with employers and better positions;
- Help gain higher qualifications and the ability to tackle more complex tasks.
The goal of the Master's in Structural Engineering programme is to foster innovative thinking in engineering education and cultivate the highest level of professional competence among construction engineers.
Graduates of the Structural Engineering Master's programme will excel in gathering, evaluating, and communicating scientific data, as well as in designing complex structures, addressing structural challenges, and conducting research. Their expertise includes designing complex structures, resolving issues with existing ones, employing state-of-the-art research and design techniques, and conducting scientific research.
Graduates can pursue careers in construction and design firms, project expert examination offices, and government subdivisions at various levels, such as ministries, cities, and districts. In addition, graduates have opportunities in construction and building maintenance companies, higher education institutions, state-owned enterprises, or choosing to pursue higher education through doctoral studies.
