Incoming students of the Civil Engineering program are expected to show analytic and quantitative abilities and be interested in physics, as well as in construction and design. They must be interested in innovation and have skills to work in teams to develop Civil Engineering projects.

As a graduate student of the Civil Engineering program at UPC, you will be able to:

• Graduate students of the Civil Engineering program are prepared to plan, design and execute civil works.
• They have a solid scientific and technological education that allows them to use modern techniques that meet the demands of the construction sector.
• They are professionals committed to ethical principles, professional standards, and respect for the environment.
• They promote and integrate to teamwork in the different stages and roles in a project, and they communicate effectively in their Civil Engineering environment.
• They identify with a continuous learning culture and current issues that allow them to contribute to the country's development.

The Program Educational Objectives (PEOs) must be accomplished by graduates of the Civil Engineering program some years after graduating.
These objectives are:

PEO 1: Technical Competence

Civil Engineers at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas will show solid technical and engineering knowledge to plan, design, and build civil works.

PEO 2: ADAPTABILITY AND VERSATILITY

Civil Engineers at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas will participate and interact in the different stages and roles of a civil engineering project with creativity and independent thinking.

PEO 3: Communication and Teamwork

Civil Engineers at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas will position themselves as leaders, mediators and conciliators among members of multidisciplinary teams. They will be known for their assertiveness.

PEO 4: Ethical and Professional Responsibility

Civil Engineers at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas will act responsibly in the practice of the profession, meets the profession’s standards and ethical principles, and respects the environment.

PEO 5: Continuing Education

Civil Engineers at Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas will be familiar with current Civil Engineering topics through continuous learning, which will allow them to remain competitive in the market and become agents of change in the profession.

Problem Solving

Students identify, formulate, and solve complex Civil Engineering problems by applying engineering, science, and mathematics principles.

Design

Students apply engineering design to create Civil Engineering solutions that meet certain specific needs considering public health, security, social well-being; and global, cultural, social, environmental, and economical factors.

Communication

Students communicate properly both orally during audiences and in writing when preparing reports.

Professionalism

Students recognize the ethical and professional responsibility in engineering situations and judge to give well-informed opinions that must consider the impact of Civil Engineering solutions on a global, economical, environmental, and social context.

Teamwork

Students work effectively in a team, whose members together show leadership and create a collaborative and inclusive environment setting goals, planning tasks, and achieving goals.

Experimentation

Students develop and conduct experiments appropriately, analyses and interprets data, and use their engineering judgment to draw conclusions in the Civil Engineering field. 

Continuous Learning

Students acquire and apply new knowledge as necessary using appropriate learning strategies.
