The Civil Engineering degree (LEC) from FCT NOVA provides basic skills in the field of Civil Engineering and a solid background in Basic Sciences and Engineering Sciences; enhances the students'' ability to understand the economic, industrial, commercial, social and professional environment in which engineering acts are performed; develops oral and written communication skills, in different contexts and in front of different interlocutors; trains and promotes teamwork and enhances constructive critical thinking and decision-making in current contexts. FCT NOVA''s LEC provides the bases of scientific and technical knowledge that will allow the graduate to pursue the 2nd cycle studies (MSc). It also stimulates the individual skills of professional interaction, facilitating the integration of the graduate into the job market within the scope of activities related to the area of Civil Engineering Sciences. In addition, FCT NOVA''s LEC includes complementary transversal training in soft skills (transversal competences for science and technology, society, sustainability and digital transformation and an introduction program to professional practice / scientific research). The Civil Engineering graduate of FCT NOVA will thus be able to respond to the current challenges of a built environment that is intended to be safe, comfortable, durable and sustainable, in line with the United Nations'' sustainable development objectives.
