Acquire new skills by specializing in the new technologies of metallic materials and give a boost to your career”  

Since humans implemented metals in construction, they have only perfected their use as a structural element. Being one of the protagonists in the industrial revolution, it replaced wood and iron was processed to produce steel, one of the most common elements found in buildings such as large shopping malls or soccer stadiums. The postgraduate certificate in Technology of Metallic Construction Materials will deepen student’s theoretical basis to address the fundamentals of these materials.

Based on the above, the student will be able to specialize in the mechanisms of hardening and phase transformation, modification of properties, behavior and characteristics of the main metals in construction, among other topics. All this, with the intention of acquiring the necessary skills to solve the different problems that may arise when working with these elements in the field of engineering.

Therefore, the different characteristics of metallic materials must be mastered, as well as their manufacturing processes and treatments, defining and assessing their different properties. This knowledge will enable you to design products and different components.

For this reason, we have an excellent teaching staff that offers students their extensive experience in the new technological materials applied to engineering and construction. With a 100% online Postgraduate Certificate students will be able to study comfortably, wherever and whenever they want. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further. A modality according to the current times with all the guarantees to position the engineer in a highly demanded sector.
