CIVIL ENGINEERING COMMON PLAN

Program Information

The Civil Engineering Common Plan is a mechanism for admission to the Universidad de La Frontera. Afterwards, the student has the possibility to enter the professional Programs and achieve the academic degrees offered by the Faculty of Engineering and Science. The advantage of this modality is that the student gets the opportunity to get to know different disciplines before making a definitive decision, thus reducing the probability of an eventual vocational crisis and the costs associated to it.

The graduate of the Common Plan is a person with an extensive general education, solid knowledge in basic sciences and of the work areas of an engineer, and who incorporates information and communication technologies in his training.

At the end of the Common Plan, the graduates will be able to face university studies leading to a higher level academic degree and / or professional degree in a selected field of engineering.

After finishing the Civil Engineering Common Plan at the Universidad de La Frontera, the students can continue their studies in the civil engineering programs. 

The Common Plan gives access to:

• Civil Engineering
• Civil Physics Engineering
• Civil Industrial Engineering, specialization: Bioprocesses
• Civil Industrial Engineering, specialization: Computer Science
• Civil Industrial Engineering, specialization: Mechanics
• Civil Environmental Engineering
• Civil Electrical Engineering
• Civil Electronics Engineering
• Civil Mathematical Engineering
• Civil Mechanical Engineering
• Civil Telematic Engineering
• Civil Engineering in Biotechnology
• Civil Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering in Computer Science

CIVIL MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

*Access to this Program via Civil Engineering Common Plan

Program Information

Due to the sustained expansion and growth of investment in the national economy’s productive sectors, a Civil Engineer in Mechanics is one of the most demanded professionals in Chile, with a high employability rate and one of the top five salaries in the country.
The Universidad de La Frontera offers this Program since 2013 and counts with outstanding academic staff with vast professional experience and a high level of training, specialized in Chile, North America and Europe.

The graduate is trained in basic sciences and engineering sciences, especially in technologies associated with energy transformation, advanced manufacturing, design, economics and administration, for having the analytical and methodological capability to integrate resources; to create, innovate, project and implement solutions to problems associated with industrial extractive, manufacturing and energy transformation activities; and to participate in the management, operation and maintenance of industrial production processes and systems.

A Mechanical Civil Engineer has an extensive occupational field and can work for example in:

• the mining, steel, forestry, pulp, agro industrial and fishing industries;
• the energy sector (generation plants, renewable energy systems, fuels);
• the capital goods and consumer goods manufacturing industry (machinery and industrial equipment, textiles, metal-mechanic industry);
• the field of refrigeration and air conditioning and in the service sector (assembly of industrial plants, transport);
• self-employed activities, as well as providing services in engineering offices (preparation and development of projects or consultancy).

CIVIL ENGINEERING IN COMPUTER SCIENCE

Program Information

A Civil Computer Engineer, trained at the Universidad de La Frontera, is a professional with the skills to work in the areas of projects, management and computer engineering. He is trained in basic sciences, engineering sciences and computer science; especially software engineering, software architecture, IT project management, information security, system auditing and human resource management. This allows him to design, integrate resources, create, propose and implement solutions to problems associated with IT activities, by applying different techniques, methods and advanced technological tools. He has the capacity to communicate in a globalized world and to put together and lead work teams.

Occupational field

The basic and applied training qualifies the graduate to work in IT management in the public or private sector, to practice his profession independently as a consultant or advisor in the scope of his discipline, to undertake business initiatives, or to continue studies, in order to contribute to the country´s economic and social development.
