Goals

To give a specialization of a professional nature, allowing a sequence of studies to the holders of the degree in civil engineering, and similar areas, enabling the improvement of the knowledge acquired that ends in developments/original applications originated by the completion of a project/training. The graduate students of the study cycle should be able to:

1. Apply the knowledge and the capabilities to understand and solve problems in new and non-familiar situations, in a broad and multidisciplinary context;
2. Combine knowledge, to deal with complex problems, develop solutions, and make judgments in situations of limited or incomplete information;
3. To communicate the conclusions, knowledge, and foundations related, to specialists and non-specialists, in a direct and non-ambiguous way;
4. To develop a life-learning process in an autonomous mode.
