On completion of the Master's Degree Programme in Civil Engineering, candidates are expected to have the following learning outcome defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge:

The candidate

has advanced knowledge in engineering and design of the built environment and deep insight in a specific area, depending on the choice of study direction (structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering or smart water engineering).

has in-depth knowledge of scientific theory and methods as well as knowledge of relevant policy and regulations used in the analysis and design of the built environment.

is able to evaluate climate and environmental effects on the built environment, and apply this knowledge in solving contemporary engineering problems.

is able to analyze questions/issues related to civil engineering based on the historical development of the discipline/subject area, new technology and societal needs for more sustainable design in the built environment.

Skills:

The candidate is able to

analyze and make use of scientific publications and technical literature in discussions and to justify engineering solutions.

work independently and in teams and make use of state of the art theories and methods, as well as policy and regulations, to solve practical and theoretical problems related to the built environment.

use suitable methods for research and development within the built environment in an independent manner or as part of a team.

use relevant software and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in the analysis, design and visualisation of buildings, structures and processes.

carry out an independent, delimited research or development project under supervision and in accordance with applicable research ethical standards.

General competence:

The candidate is able to

analyze academic and professional ethical issues and make sound recommendations for the built environment, including their impact on sustainable development.

apply knowledge and skills to analyze and design infrastructure within structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering or smart water process and infrastructure engineering.

convey the results of independent work, both in writing and orally.

communicate on issues, analyses and solutions within the built environment, both with specialists and the general public.

contribute to the development of new structural and sustainable solutions.
