Since the 2020-2021 academic year the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering (2010 program) and the Bachelor's Degree in Public Works Engineering will become extinct and will no longer accept new students. Students enrolled in these programs in extinction will have two choices:

• To continue with their current program (see extinction time table)
• To undergo an adaptation to the new 2020 program for the Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering:
  
  • Course adaptation table GEC10 to GEC20
  • Course adaptation table GEOP to GEC20

Civil engineers and engineers are incorporated as technicians, managers, designers, consultants or builders in companies related to:

• infrastructures,
• flow of water, energy, goods and people,
• ports, airports, stations and logistics centres,
• natural resource management and recycling companies and institutions,
• companies and institutions involved in the public use of cities,
