What it does?

The civil engineer is a professional with broad technical training. It is qualified to conceive, plan, design, build, maintain and solve problems in buildings, bridges, dams, tunnels, foundations, containment and stability of slopes, water supply, water resources, hydroelectric use; irrigation and drainage, water and sewage treatment, solid waste disposal and water pollution control, transport infrastructure, ports, airports, waterways, roads and transport operation.

What are the new skills needed by civil engineers?

In the second half of the last century, the mastery of design and construction techniques were the greatest requirement for a competent exercise of the profession of Civil Engineer. Today many other dimensions have been added. Understanding aspects such as project management, quality, environment, people management, globalization, innovation and entrepreneurship have entered the list of skills required for a first-class Civil Engineer.

What are you studying?

In Civil Engineering at ESEG, disciplines are linked to the following areas:

• Construction
• Structures
• Geotechnics
• Hydraulics and hydrology
• Transport and Topography

In addition to these typical areas of Civil Engineering, the course includes basic disciplines (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Informatics, etc.) and complementary disciplines (Law, Administration, Entrepreneurship, etc.).

Where do you work?

Civil Construction is an activity that takes place all over the world. Thus, the Civil Engineer has ample job possibilities. Typically, he works in construction companies, companies linked to building materials, government agencies, project offices, consultancies, investment banks, research institutes and in teaching. It is one of the engineering fields that most permits entrepreneurial action. Thus, it is quite common for Civil Engineers to set up their own projects.
