Thanks to this Internship program, you will perform detailed analyses of structural behavior under different loads and conditions” 

In the current context of rapid urban growth and global infrastructure development, Structural and Construction Engineering plays a key role in creating safe and sustainable environments. In this situation, new technologies are having a significant impact on the design of structural efficiency and resistance to natural disasters.

In this scenario, it is essential for engineering professionals to keep abreast of innovations in materials, construction techniques and digital modeling to deliver world-class services. For this reason, TECH is launching an innovative program consisting of a 3-week practical internship at a benchmark institution, where professionals will delve into the latest advances in Structural and Construction Engineering.

A recent World Bank report estimates that more than 60% of the world's population will live in urban areas in the coming years, which underlines the urgency of developing innovative and sustainable building infrastructures. In this context, structural engineers face numerous challenges to innovate and adapt to the changing demands of the environment. In order to overcome these obstacles, professionals must acquire skills to handle the most sophisticated technological tools to create safer, more efficient and sustainable infrastructures.

For this reason, TECH presents an innovative and eminently practical program consisting of a 120-hour stay in a reference entity in the field of Structural and Construction Engineering. In this way, during 3 weeks, the graduates will be part of a team of top level experts, with whom they will actively work on tasks such as the mechanics of deformable solids. Thanks to this, students will be able to update their knowledge while acquiring new skills to significantly optimize their practice.

In addition, during their stay, students will be supported by an assistant tutor, who will ensure that all the requirements for which this Internship program was designed are met. On this basis, the graduates will work with total guarantee and security in the handling of the most sophisticated technology. Therefore, graduates will live an enriching experience that will allow them to experience a significant improvement in their professional performance. 

After completing this Internship program, engineering professionals will have a holistic understanding of Structural and Construction Engineering. At the same time, graduates will develop advanced skills to manage construction projects from planning to execution. In this sense, engineers will integrate sustainability principles into the design and construction of structures. In this way, experts will minimize environmental impacts and maximize energy efficiency.
