Admission profile

The applicant to the Civil Engineering Academic Program of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Piura must have appropriate skills to successfully face the challenges of the university studies to come.
The necessary skills are:

  • Respect the basic rules of coexistence in a demanding and person-centered academic environment.
  • Understand short sentences and communicate ideas orally and in writing.
  • Ability to solve basic mathematics problems: algebra, geometry and mathematical reasoning.
  • Perform in collaborative groups.

These skills will be evaluated in the admission process and at the preparatory or introductory level (leveling).

Graduation profile

The Civil Engineering degree at the University of Piura seeks to train professionals capable of applying knowledge, skills and attitudes in the field of civil engineering, through the identification and resolution of society's problems. To this end, a competency-based graduation profile has been defined that includes the ability to identify and understand civil engineering problems, analyze them and produce valid results and recommendations for their solution, taking into account aspects of safety, well-being, global and cultural factors. , social, environmental and economic. In addition, graduates are expected to be able to apply criteria and techniques using modern design tools in civil engineering to design solutions to problems considering the aforementioned aspects. Likewise, it is intended that graduates have skills in writing technical documentation, reports and presentations, and that they are trained to work in teams and manage projects.
Finally, graduates are expected to know new trends and technologies in civil engineering, know how to identify and use relevant sources of information to complement their training, and be able to autonomously apply the new knowledge acquired in civil engineering situations.
