Specialty in Design of Industrial Structures and Constructions

Within engineering, any artifact or construction is either a structure in itself or is equipped with one for its proper functioning. The diverse areas of application within industrial engineering result in a wide variety of typologies, functionalities, and loads to which industrial structures and constructions are subjected. This diversity necessitates the training of engineering professionals  with in-depth knowledge of the fundamentals, materials, resistant mechanisms and calculation methods   for the Design of Industrial Structures and Constructions, who also know the application areas specific to the profession. 

This specialization offers the necessary training for the development of designs that allow for finding a functional, durable and safe solution, suitable for each case and that also respects environmental requirements  The development of sustainability in the construction sector. It must be taken into account that industrial structures and buildings of all types are subject to national regulations that guarantee their functionality and safety. This fact necessitates the existence of professionals in our social environment who address this social and economic function of the profession.
