Developing new materials will advance your career as a civil engineer"

The innovation process can be so complex that it has attracted the attention of many experts. To understand it is to enter a field that helps future engineers to develop new materials that enhance the quality of civil engineer work, be it a building, roads or bridges. In the postgraduate certificate in New Technological Materials Applied to Engineering and Construction, the student will learn about this process and all the requirements needed for the protection of new discoveries and to obtain the necessary funding to carry out research.

The classes throughout the course will cover the different areas of civil engineering. The first one focuses on roads and how the incorporation of waste has fostered the so called "circular economy". Students will also learn about the different ways to solve the problem of ecosystem fragmentation caused by roads built on fauna and flora. In addition, an exhaustive analysis will be made of the new materials in the railway sub infrastructure and the way to eliminate catenaries, the infrastructure that produces a high visual impact in the cities.

In the two renewable energy topics, the innovations that civil engineering has contributed to the progress of renewable energies will be reviewed in detail, including the resolution of problems in the operation of energy producing infrastructures. The last area covered is maritime engineering, where the student will be invited to analyze the latest developments in oceanographic works. It is especially interesting is to consider the natural alternative in seawalls as opposed to the usual concrete seawalls.

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.
