The Polytechnic School of the is part of the area of Engineering, offering bachelor’s and master’s degrees such as Architecture, Civil Engineering, Civil Engineering, Telecommunications Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering and Building Engineering. These departments bring together young but consolidated research groups, which bring together various lines within this field and which, in general, we can divide into: computational and applied. The computational lines are those that try to improve the theoretical-practical approach of engineering, among which we highlight: High Performance Computing that seeks to develop efficient computer applications, both in time and consumption, to contribute to solving problems unimaginable not long ago. ; Computational Mechanics, which combines the principles of theoretical and applied mechanics with numerical methods and computer techniques in order to produce increasingly efficient models and simulations of processes; Multimedia Technologies, which uses signal processing and numerical methods to improve the quality and precision in new forms of communication and information, or Bioinformatics, which analyzes biological problems that directly affect our environment, and provides possible alternatives for their study. through computer techniques.
On the other hand, the applied lines emphasize solving problems of interest to society in the field of the environment and sustainable development, using the knowledge, methodologies and techniques developed in theoretical research, with innovation and transfer as a fundamental objective. technological. Among them we highlight: Territorial Engineering, Sustainability and Environment whose research object is the development of sustainable infrastructures and territorial models in balance with the environment, as well as the application of techniques that help solve the problems of degradation of natural resources. ; and Hydrological Engineering that develops and applies analysis and calculation methodologies and procedures, in order to determine magnitudes and parameters of hydrological variables, both for the design and sizing of works, and for the correct management of water resources.
