About this programme
The master’s degree programme in Civil Engineering, a programme of Barreiro School of Technology in partnership with the Instituto Superior de Engenharia[HC1] of the University of Algarve, is structured towards a specialization of professional nature, allowing the professional activity in the Civil Engineering field, according to the public statement of the Ordem dos Engenheiros [HC2] (English: Portuguese Order of Engineers). The course is structured as the established model with a long tradition abroad, namely in the countries of United Kingdom and Italy.
Goals
It is expected that the professional graduated at Barreiro School of Technology/ESTBarreiro/IPS acquires skills of flexibility with a global view of Civil Engineering and are well qualified to perform activities at different levels:
- To execute- to solve problems in a professional way by applying the knowledge and insight acquired
- To coordinate- the ability to sustain the solutions recommended and the judgments issued through the gathering, selection and interpretation of relevant information in an integrated way by including the social, scientific and ethical aspects considered relevant to the analysis
- Self-learning and development– to possess methodologies and learning philosophies that allow them to acquire lifelong knowledge, in a fundamentally self-guided or autonomous way, with the objective of keeping up to date and having an ever broader vision of the different fields of civil engineering
- Conception and innovation- to be able to apply knowledge and understanding in solving complex problems in new and unfamiliar situations in broad, limited or incomplete contexts and dealing with multidisciplinary information, and ability to change the principles, methods and techniques subject to technological, economic, social and environmental constraints.
Professional outputs
The cycle of studies leading to the master degree assures, in parallel with the bachelor training, the specialization in the areas of implementation and construction sites, in compliance with the Decree-Law No. 74/2006 that defines the competences of the master´s degree, article 15, as well as the public statement of the Ordem dos Engenheiros.
