Traditionally, university degree studies related to the construction sector have paid little attention to the field of management. However, for construction-related technicians, it is essential to acquire management knowledge and skills, since these professionals gradually acquire managerial responsibilities with experience and the development of their professional career. Therefore, there is a demand for additional training in construction management widespread throughout the sector, including public developers (Administrations), private developers (real estate and concessionaires), engineering consulting firms and construction companies. Complementarily, there is also an additional need for training in infrastructure planning and operation, more focused on public promoters. It must not be forgotten, however, that a large part of the future of the sector lies in concession contracts and in the maintenance and conservation of existing infrastructures.

The latest updates to current regulations on energy aspects in buildings seek to guarantee that occupant comfort is achieved through the rational use of energy.

The building sector is undergoing a process of change in recent years to adapt to the new market situation, looking for new objectives and new proposals. These changes affect both its technological aspects, the set of sciences and techniques that are applied in the construction of buildings, as well as the management processes that must be adopted by the construction, developer and real estate companies involved in building works. It is currently being built under new and more complex constructive proposals that are demanding advanced interdisciplinary knowledge in these matters. It is for this reason that there has been a clear demand for the intervention of specialist technicians in building works who, based on a synthetic and integrating knowledge of technological and management disciplines, can adequately respond to the new demands that this sector is currently manifesting and, in turn, can generate new advanced specific knowledge in these matters.

Civil engineering provides sustainable solutions to the problems of integration of infrastructures with the environment and society. The planning of cities and their services, the layout of railway networks and highways, the defense of coasts and beaches, security against floods and earthquakes, the design and construction of bridges, tunnels, dams and ports or integrated management of projects and works constitute the most common activities of civil engineering.
