Master's Degree in Civil Engineering (MICCP)

Presentation and guide of the degree on the website of the University of Seville.

The Master's Degree in Civil Engineering aims to guarantee the acquisition of the competencies, established in Ministerial Order CIN/309/2009, necessary to practice as a Civil Engineer. It seeks to provide scientific and technical training so that future professionals can meet the needs of industry and public administration; contribute to research and development in the fields of civil engineering; and facilitate technology transfer to different sectors of society. The competencies acquired in this Master's program are as follows:

• Scientific-technical and methodological training for the continuous updating of knowledge and the exercise of professional functions of advising, analysis, design, calculation, project, planning, direction, management, construction, maintenance, conservation and operation in the fields of civil engineering.
• Understanding the multiple technical, legal and property constraints that arise in the project of a public works, and ability to establish different valid alternatives, choose the optimal one and implement it appropriately, anticipating the problems of its construction, and using the most appropriate methods and technologies, both traditional and innovative, in order to achieve the greatest efficiency and promote the progress and development of a sustainable and environmentally friendly society.
• Knowledge, understanding and ability to apply the necessary legislation in the exercise of the profession of Civil Engineer.
• Knowledge of the history of civil engineering and training to analyze and evaluate public works in particular and construction in general.
• Knowledge of the profession of Civil Engineer and of the activities that can be carried out in the field of civil engineering.
• Knowledge to apply technical and managerial skills in R&D&I activities within the field of civil engineering.
• Ability to plan, design, inspect and manage land transport infrastructure works (roads, railways, bridges, tunnels and urban roads) or maritime (port works and facilities).
• Knowledge of the design and construction problems of the different elements of an airport and of the methods of conservation and operation.
• Capacity to plan and manage water and energy resources, including the integrated management of the water cycle.
• Capacity to carry out studies of territorial planning, the coastal environment, the management and defense of coasts and the environmental aspects related to infrastructures.
• Capacity for the design, execution and inspection of structures (bridges, buildings, etc.), foundation works and underground works for civil use (tunnels, parking lots), and the diagnosis of their integrity.
• Ability to plan, design and manage infrastructure, as well as its maintenance, conservation and operation.
• Ability to plan, conduct studies and design surface or groundwater intakes (dams, pipelines, pumping stations).
• Capacity to carry out studies, territorial planning and urban development plans and urbanization projects.
• Ability to assess and environmentally condition infrastructure works in projects, construction, rehabilitation and conservation.
• Capacity to design and implement water purification treatments, including desalination, and wastewater treatment. Collection and treatment of waste (urban, industrial, or even hazardous).
• Ability to apply business management techniques and labor legislation.
• Adequate knowledge of the scientific and technological aspects of mathematical, analytical and numerical methods of engineering, fluid mechanics, continuum mechanics, structural calculation, geotechnical engineering, marine engineering, hydraulic works and utilities and linear works.
