Requirements (Subjects that are assumed to be known)
Engineering degree with theoretical concepts in Structural Mechanics (see Master's degree entry requirements)
Objectives
-Possess knowledge and understand concepts that provide a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context. -That students know how to apply their acquired knowledge and problem-solving skills in new or unfamiliar environments within broader (or multidisciplinary) contexts related to their area of study. -To know the aspects and techniques of analytical and computational methods to project, calculate and design structures and plants in the field of Industrial Construction. -Ability to formulate the necessary hypotheses to solve structural problems in industry.
