Specialization in Road Design and Pavement Engineering
SNIES 91073, Medellin
In the world, and specifically in Colombia, we face great challenges in terms of road infrastructure due to the topographic complexity of the land, due to its wide range of climates, ecosystems and reliefs; Road management and an existing deficient infrastructure. Specialists in Road Design and Pavement Engineering are trained in the design, planning and execution of quality projects to respond to the inherent problems of road infrastructure. In addition, they have extensive knowledge in work budgets, investment execution and control programs, with a social, human and sustainable sense, applying their diagnostic skills and solutions. The graduate of this program will have the necessary tools to solve these challenges in a work world that demands quality and demand.

Sobre el programa
Generalidad del programa
El programa ofrece dos líneas de énfasis: Ingeniería de pavimentos o Diseño vial. En el primero ampliarás tu conocimiento en el diseño, la construcción, el mantenimiento y la rehabilitación de estructuras del pavimento, contención y drenaje. Por otra parte, el énfasis de Diseño vial te permitirá formarte como especialista en el diseño geométrico de las infraestructuras viales como carreteras, túneles, puentes o intersecciones viales. También realizarás estudios de movilidad y tendrás la capacidad de evaluar proyectos viales. Además, como egresado contarás con los conocimientos básicos en ambos campos porque creemos en el conocimiento integral que permite planear, diseñar, construir y administrar obras con sentido técnico, humano, ambiental, sostenible, económico y financiero para una comprensión profunda y práctica de las demandas y los desafíos actuales.
Esta especialización es para ti si te apasiona aprender sobre la ejecución de proyectos de infraestructura vial, tanto en materia de pavimentos como en diseño geométrico. Los principales estudiantes suelen ser ingenieros civiles, pero eso no impide que otras profesiones como topógrafos, ingenieros de transporte, geólogos o arquitectos, asuman este reto profesional. Las habilidades con las que debes contar son en áreas como matemáticas, geometría, física y también un buen manejo de programas de software como Civil 3D y ArcGis, y Excel.
