Bachelor's in Civil Engineering

The Bachelor's in Civil Engineering is a 3-year first-cycle degree (6 semesters, 180 ECTS) at the Porto School of Engineering (ISEP). It runs in daytime hours and also in an after-work schedule, which depends on a minimum number of enrolments.

The degree prepares students for the design, construction, planning and management of buildings, transport infrastructure, water supply systems and urban rehabilitation works, in the fields of Structures, Infrastructure, Hydraulics, Materials and Technologies. After a grounding in mathematics, physics, statistics, programming and drawing, the plan includes Statics, Engineering Geology, Strength of Materials, Structural Theory, General and Applied Hydraulics, Construction Materials, Surveying, Territorial and Urban Planning, Construction Management Methods, Digital Technologies in Construction, Concrete Structures, Soil Mechanics, Building Physics, Roads and Transport Infrastructure and Site Organisation and Management. The final semester includes an Integrated Project. Classes combine laboratory work, seminars with industry specialists, fieldwork and visits to companies and building sites, and the degree allows an internship in a company.

Graduates work in the planning, design, construction, management, supervision, maintenance and rehabilitation of structures, infrastructure, hydraulic and sanitation systems and construction materials and technologies. At ISEP, they can apply to the Master's in Civil Engineering.
