It is MECivil’s objective to give each student the skills to:
• easily adapt to technological changes;
• adapt existing technologies to new problems;
• develop tools to assess the quality of the processes that uses in the development of systems and solutions;
• manage the entire process of analysis, design, development and maintenance of products or systems under its responsibility;
• understand the economic, social and human aspects and its relationship with the technical problems;
• develop personal attitudes, such as creativity, learning and constant updating, the leadership and integration in team work, the ethical and behavioural concerns;
