Program Overview
It is difficult to imagine our everyday lives without bridges, tunnels, hydroelectric power plants, road and rail networks, or residential, office and industrial buildings. Civil engineers are highly sought-after specialists who perform demanding tasks in the service of our society. While taking the environment into account, they must ensure that buildings and installations are planned functionally, built cost-effectively and can be economically operated and maintained. They work in engineering offices and construction companies; for federal, cantonal and municipal authorities; in power supply and transport companies; and in research and education.
