What you study

Structural engineering deals with the design and construction of industrial, public, and private structures and systems: planning and building residential buildings, factories, roads, interchanges, bridges, tunnels, ports, airports, and infrastructure. The studies address finding engineering solutions based on science and technology in a changing world in terms of climate, pollution, and resources. The curriculum includes core courses in mathematics, chemistry, and physics, as well as courses such as structural engineering, strength of materials, architectural design, engineering geology, engineering economics, reinforced concrete structures, steel structures, introduction to earthquakes, construction management, and a practical capstone project.
