General-oriented title that came up to qualify for the practising of the job associated to the present studies of Technical Engineering of Civil Works in the majors if Civil Constructions and Hydrology. This degree title develops the competences linked to these two professional profiles:
- Communication routes and transports: roads, highways, tunnels, transport interchanges, railways, travellers and goods stations, gas mains and funiculars.
- Ports and coasts: all types of ports, docks, mooring quays, anchoring facilities, navigable routes, dry docks, lighthouses, and even the creating and maintaining of beaches, and the study of swell, streams, and environmental impact.

- Building: all types of foundations, structures (reinforced concrete, pre-stressed concrete, metallic), project design and construction of silos, car parks, hospitals, stadiums, sports grounds and halls. Also, project designing andmanaging of the manufacturing of building materials, studies related to soil and rock mechanics, impermeability and ground resistance, and environmental impact of works.
This degree title also has the aim of preparing those who obtain it either to get the Master or to become a PhD Doctor. In the case of the former, the graduate will be granted access to the Master studies that entitle them for the practise of the job as Road, Canal and Port Engineer, which will allow them to complete their competence in this area.
In the case of the latter, graduates will develop their scientific ability by doing the PhD, and they will be able to carry out research and development activities related to Civil Engineering.
