Earthquake-resistant engineering is a fascinating branch of civil engineering that combines a deep understanding of physical laws and mathematical concepts to design and analyze structures capable of supporting forces to which they will be subjected during their useful life, with a special approach to the seismic effects.  

On the ground rests the infrastructure of a region or country, hence it is key to understand it before executing any project. Beyond the logic of the matter, Colombian regulations emphasize as a requirement the conduct of land studies prior to the realization of the projects. The above has generated in the construction companies the need for a geotechnics department for prefeasibility and feasibility studies of their projects, in what this specialization is fundamental.

The specialization in information systems qualifies professionals to lead business transformations, enable the application of technological solutions and develop information systems architectures that solve business problems.

The specialization in mechanical design has been structured for the training of professionals interested in improving the production, energy performance and competitiveness of companies through the implementation of design methodologies applied to calculate, select and optimize industrial systems.

The specialist will also be formed to perform activities such as design leaders, technological renewal of production systems in companies and analysis of mechanical and energy performance of industrial systems.

Apply data science to execute effective predictive actions, use tools for informed decision making for systems maintenance, and take advantage of data analytics for machine status monitoring are some of the possibilities that advanced technologies offer to goods and services industries in the maintenance area.

Developing construction projects today is to face dynamic changes in regulations, markets and technological developments. It is knowing how to read the environment, which changes from one day to another and being able to respond efficiently.

In a world in which users and customers are in the search for innovative products and services, these specialists promote the creation, design and development of new products, beyond the tangible, from their conception to their commercialization to meet the needs of their different objective audiences, such as companies or communities. These specialists are able to identify and understand the needs of the user, which allows to design solutions that are in tune.

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.

Learning to design mechatronic products is the objective of this specialization. Mechanical, electronic, electrical and systems engineering are found with design methodologies that produce solutions for all industry sectors. 

Through active learning, which is based on projects and challenges and results in real applications, engineers of all branches can immerse themselves in the exploration of new technologies, the search for efficiency or innovation, for their work areas. 

If you have an engineering problem in your company or your daily professional activity, this is the postgraduate program that will allow you to find a solution. The professors of the School of Applied Sciences and Engineering of the EAFIT University will be willing to accompany you in the solution of professional difficulties, relying in the latest technological advances and knowing how to make it be built in more than thirty years of experience that the program carries.
