About this program
Bachelors in Civil Engineering (Building Structures)
The graduate of the Building Structures specialization will be an expert in the field of structural analysis, implementation and design of industrial and civil engineering structures and bridges, and will be primarily employed in construction companies designing engineering structures or ensuring their operation, repair and reconstruction. Graduates will also have a broad knowledge of computational and numerical methods so that they can apply both in projection and in the design of algorithms for static calculations, their testing and verification of their accuracy. He will also be able to work as a developer and consultant for software design and engineering firms or research organizations in professional positions, where he will be able to create specialized computational algorithms for numerical modeling of special problems. The graduate will have the knowledge needed for the follow-up master's study programs in statics, dynamics and engineering.
