This document provides information about a Bachelor's Degree in Construction Engineering offered for the 2014-2015 academic year. The 4-year program will provide students with skills to manage construction projects in areas like civil construction, hydrology, and transportation. Students will learn planning, design, construction, management of infrastructure projects. The degree meets the requirements to become a Technical Public Works Engineer or Civil Engineer with a Master's degree. The curriculum covers subjects each year like mechanics, hydraulics, geotechnics, reinforced concrete. Graduates will be prepared for careers managing civil engineering projects, public works construction, and consulting engineering firms.

1. BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN
CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING
2014-2015 ACADEMIC YEAR
INTRODUCTION
The specialised training provided by the bachelor’s degree in Construction Engineering will equip you to manage and carry out
construction projects in public works engineering specialisations: civil construction, hydrology, and transport and urban services. You
will get a solid grounding in the planning, design, construction and management of civil engineering projects and infrastructure: roads,
bridges, dams and water treatment plants, rail networks and ports, logistics systems, and economic and spatial planning. You will also
learn to perform calculations, conduct surveys, carry out studies, and prepare reports for any business operating in the sectors in
which civil engineering plays a role.
Regulated profession • Technical public works engineer.
• Civil engineer (after obtaining the master’s degree in Civil Engineering). This bachelor’s degree and
the master’s degree in Civil Engineering make up an integrated academic programme.
