Perform an exhaustive analysis of the different families of materials and apply them to your infrastructure projects" 

Technological innovations in civil engineering have made it possible to create new materials to be used in large and small architectural projects. Similarly, advances in the field of construction elements have been very important in recent years, with ingenious processing techniques and structures that improve the performance of materials.  

The postgraduate diploma in Design of New Materials and Innovations in Engineering and Construction will introduce students to all the knowledge necessary to discover the process of innovation, protection and financing of development in this field. They will also be able to specify the different areas of civil engineering that are used in road construction, the analysis of new materials and renewable energies. The importance of maritime engineering will also be highlighted here, presenting the latest developments in oceanographic works.  

Further on in the syllabus, the different types of components involved in the production of the pavement will be studied in depth, reviewing their characteristics and the properties they have. In the sequence of topics, we will study the layers that make up the rolling surface, which is one that is visible to the naked eye when a road is designed. 

Towards the end of the modules we will learn about the advances in the field of construction materials that have been very important in recent years, relating to processing techniques, structure and properties with their behavior. Knowing, in turn, the progress of new trends, from an innovation point of view. 

For this reason, we have an excellent teaching staff that offers students their extensive experience in the design, service life and characterization of cement-based materials. With a 100% online Postgraduate Diploma, 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.
