Course context for academic year 2019-20

The course aims to situate students of first course face to face with the professional world of civil engineer and the construction business. The Civil Engineer should be a company man/woman, since this is the context where they will play their work. Therefore the business world, especially in the field of the construction sector, will be the priority subject of the course, as well as leadership, organization and management of enterprises, without forgetting the fundamental role that Civil Engineer usually play there.
