Introduction
The Degree in Civil Engineering (LEC) from the NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA confers basic skills in the area of Civil Engineering, providing solid training in Basic Sciences and Engineering Sciences; enhances the students' ability to understand the economic, industrial, commercial, social and professional environment in which engineering activities take place; develops oral and written communication skills in different contexts and with different interlocutors; trains and promotes teamwork and enhances constructive critical thinking and decision-making in current contexts.
The LEC provides the bases of scientific and technical knowledge that will allow the graduate to pursue the 2nd cycle studies. It also encourages individual skills for professional interaction, facilitating the graduate's integration directly into the labor market within the scope of activities related to the area of Civil Engineering Sciences.
In addition, LEC includes a complementary transversal training in soft skills (transversal competences for science and technology, society, sustainability and digital transformation and an introduction to professional practice / scientific investigation program).
The graduate in civil engineering from the NOVA School of Science and Technology | 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 sustainable development goals of the United Nations.

Program Outcome
The Degree in Civil Engineering (LEC) at FCT NOVA confers basic skills in the area of Civil Engineering, providing a solid background in Basic Sciences and Engineering Sciences; enhances students' ability to understand the economic, industrial, commercial, social and professional environment in which Engineering acts are carried out; develops oral and written communication skills, in different contexts and with different interlocutors; trains and promotes teamwork and enhances constructive critical thinking and decision-making in current contexts.
The FCT NOVA LEC provides the bases of scientific and technical knowledge that will allow the licensee to pursue 2nd cycle studies. It also stimulates individual skills for professional interaction, facilitating the integration of the graduate directly into the labor market within the scope of activities related to the area of Civil Engineering Sciences.
In addition, the FCT NOVA 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).
FCT NOVA civil engineering graduates 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.
