Engineers must be aware of the latest advances available to them to design their projects with the latest technology"

This Postgraduate certificate will provide the student with a global vision of the necessary stages in the design of a project, from the analysis of the problems with the client to the actual drafting of the project. Emphasis will be placed on existing tools on the market in terms of new technologies, drones or software. In this way, we will seek to learn how to optimize resources through the use of state-of-the-art tools.

An important aspect to be addressed in the design and drafting will be the regulatory framework that will apply to each project and in each geographical location, so a review will be made of the main existing international regulations.

In this Postgraduate certificate, students will learn about the tools in the field of layout, structural calculations, geotechnics, drainage, hydrology and hydraulics, etc., all areas that will be encountered in the drafting of the project. We will also study the latest technologies in the field of topography through the use of drones and the latest advances in the processing of images captured by drones to obtain digital terrain models.

In line with the establishment of engineering professionals at the forefront of the latest advances available to the profession, there will be a review of infrastructure modeling in BIM, giving an overview of what these models encompass and the advances they offer for the integrated management of projects and infrastructure.

It should be noted that since it is a 100% online Postgraduate certificate, the student is not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing their work or personal life with their academic life.
