Graduate Attributes
The graduates from Structural Engineering Program:
- Master a wide spectrum of engineering knowledge and specialized skills, including a thorough grasp of techniques for assessing structures (encompassing both static and dynamic analysis), crafting load-resistant designs using materials such as concrete and steel, understanding fundamental principles of mechanics, and gaining familiarity with safety-oriented building codes and legal regulations.
- Apply analytic critical and systemic thinking to identify, diagnose and solve engineering problems with a wide range of complexity, variation and diversity of engineering challenges to make well-informed decisions.
- Behave professionally and adhere to engineering and sustainability ethics and standards. In contemporary engineering, it is vital for graduates to comprehend sustainable design principles and effectively reduce the ecological footprint of structures. This involves focusing on sustainability in design, with an emphasis on minimizing environmental impact and optimizing resource utilization.
- Work in and lead a heterogeneous team of professionals from different engineering specialties and assume responsibility for own and team performance by developing effective communication skills, both written and verbal, collaborating with other professionals, and presenting technical information to stakeholders.
- Recognize his/her role in promoting the structural engineering field and contribute in the development of the profession and the community.
- Assume full responsibility for own learning and self-development by raising awareness of the need for ongoing learning to stay up-to-date with new technologies and engage in lifelong learning and demonstrate the capacity to engage in post- graduate and research studies.
- Develop a comprehensive grasp of construction materials and techniques, enabling the acquisition of a diverse array of construction methods to ensure the seamless transformation of designs into secure and functional structures.
- Enhance comprehension of project management principles to proficiently strategize and implement structural engineering projects while adhering to budgetary and timeline limitations.
- Encourage the establishment of a Safety Awareness culture. by giving precedence to safety in every facet of their tasks, taking into account the safety and welfare of both occupants and users of the structures they engineer.
- Promote awareness of Value Engineering: Recognizing the importance of precise construction.
- project cost estimation is vital. This entails discovering methods to reach project goals while reducing expenditures.
