CIVIL ENGINEERING STRUCTURES
OBJECTIVES
The Master in Civil Engineering Structures (MESTEC) aims to train professionals with a sound preparation in Civil Engineering Structures, so they can enter the national and international labor market in a more competitive position. The coursework component and the dissertation of MESTEC ensure sound education in analysis and design methods for Civil Engineering works where Structures and Geotechnics closely interact. In this field of knowledge, the educational offer of 2nd cycle studies is scarce or inexistent both in Portugal and in Portuguese-speaking countries. Hence, MESTEC will fill an important gap in terms of specialized education.
Those potentially interested in MESTEC include the national and international technical staff related to Structures and Geotechnics. At an international level, it can be attractive to students from countries where there is a limited offer of advanced quality education in Structures and Geotechnics at moderate costs.
FIELDS OF SPECIALIZATION
Civil Construction and Civil Engineering
CAREER PROSPECTS
MESTEC provides a theoretical and practical education in advanced topics related to both design of Structures and Geotechnics in Civil Engineering. These two fields of knowledge, taught in a complementary manner, are not easily found worldwide, and consequently will open job opportunities to the most dedicated students. Design offices and construction companies will certainly appreciate engineers having the solid background provided by MESTEC.
