Executive Summary

This document presents the curriculum design for the Ingeniería Civil program at Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI) under the international standards and the global references of the Body of Knowledge of Civil Engineering . It synthesizes the disciplinary evolution of Ingeniería Civil from its scientific foundations to the demands for resilient, sustainable, and intelligent 21st-century infrastructure. The program adapts these global references to our regional context:

Local and national requirements in construction, urban development, and infrastructure management.
Institutional strengths in applied research, innovation in materials, construction methods, and project management.
Emerging trends in digitalization, automation, and sustainability in Ingeniería Civil .

Contemporary Ingeniería Civil integrates the following domains:

Basic Sciences and Engineering Fundamentals
Traditional and Core Sciences (Structural, Geotechnical, Hydraulics, Transportation, Construction)
Modern Trends (Digital Infrastructure, Sustainability, Resilience, Advanced Management, Technology)
Soft Skills and Professional Ethics.

The pedagogical model is based on four pillars:

Technical Excellence: Scientific foundations, structural design, soil mechanics, hydraulics, and construction technologies.
Digital Innovation: BIM modeling, emerging technologies, and efficient project management.
Integral Sustainability: Circular economy, resilient design, environmental impact, and responsible resource management.
Integral Human Formation: Virtues, ethical awareness, public responsibility, and professional social commitment.

Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI) , faithful to its identity, incorporates

a solid foundation in basic sciences as a pillar, developing in students:

Ability to discern ethical and social impacts of technical and design decisions.
Sensitivity towards equity challenges, public safety, and community development through infrastructure.
Commitment to integral human development and the common good, especially of vulnerable populations.
Leadership based on values, professional integrity, and service to society.

This curriculum will produce professionals with:

Ability to conceive, design, build, operate, and maintain complex infrastructure systems that are safe, functional, sustainable, and economical.
Competencies to lead digital transformation in civil engineering projects with advanced methodologies and tools.
Ability to integrate technical efficiency with environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and disaster resilience.
Formation that enables them to practice their profession with technical excellence, moral rectitude, and a sense of public service.

The proposal incorporates continuous updating mechanisms, ensuring relevance in the face of technological evolution and alignment with international standards, while maintaining the distinctive mark of the formation that characterizes Universidad Nacional de Ingeniería (UNI) .
