The School of Civil Engineering (Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos - ETSICCP) is the structure participating in EESIC for UPV. Indeed, in Spain, all professional competences in hydraulic engineering and a large part of environmental ones (wastewater and freshwater treatment plants, sanitation) are assigned to civil engineers.
Three Master programmes taught in this School cover the different areas related with environmental engineering. The Master in Civil Engineering (Diploma of Ingeniero de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, 120 ECTS) has all legal rights and privileges of a regulated professional Civil Engineer in Spain.
It includes a large span of topics, ranging from hydraulic infrastructures (dams, canals, water and wastewater treatment plants), coastal and harbour engineering, structural engineering, as well as urban, hydraulic and transportation planning and management.
This Master includes 18 compulsory, and 34 optional credits on environmental related topics, and ETSICCP is the engineering school with more environment and sustainability courses in Spain. ETSICCP shares the Master in Environmental Engineering (90 ECTS) with the Faculty of Chemistry of the University of Valencia. This is a highly specialized program devoted to water and wastewater treatment plants design and exploitation.
The Master in Water Engineering and Environment (MIHMA), managed by the Department of Hydraulic Engineering and Environment, encompasses 60 ECTS, with four specialization tracks. This program is oriented mainly to Spanish speaking students all over the world, with over 80% of them coming from Latin America. ETSICCP is strongly committed to UN Sustainable Development Goals and is starting the accreditation process of a new degree on Sustainability, Environment and Territory.
