This mention coordinates the specialties, mainly for research, relating to civil engineering (construction, geotechnics, transport, hydraulics, environment) and underground engineering.For aspects related to constructions in their environment, expertise and a continuity of knowledge from the material to the structure are expected. In addition, mastery of the construction process, conditions of comfort and sustainability of buildings are important elements of the training.As regards the engineering of the subsoil, in addition to the strong interaction between the ground and the constructions, the exploration and the exploitation of reservoirs and storage (water, gas, oil, CO2, waste ...) is one of the major goals.
