Profile of the programme
The specialisation options of the civil engineering degree programme are structural engineering, construction and site management and infrastructure construction.
Key learning outcomes
The purpose of the Degree Programme in Civil Engineering is to train construction professionals with the ability to work in a variety of building industry jobs. The graduates have a wide expertise and a general understanding of the theory, practice and methods in their field and a deep understanding of their area of specialisation. Construction engineers not only need good professional expertise but also problem-solving skills, mathematical and financial judgement, teamworking and supervisor skills, good IT skills, an ability to communicate clearly, and language skills.
Occupational profiles of graduates
Construction engineers may design housing or business or industrial buildings, be in charge of building site construction, maintenance and renovation projects or engage in the building of infrastructures.
Access to further studies
Opportunities for further study are a Master's Degree as well as a Master of Science degree, which gives validity to more complex construction specialist positions.

Examination regulations, assessment and grading
Course assessment criteria are specified in the course implementation plan. The teacher in charge of the course will be responsible for the assessment. At the beginning of the course, students will be informed on the assessment principles which must be based on the course objectives.
Assessment applies to the students who have registered and been accepted on the course. If the course consists of several components, the teacher may point this out in the assessment principles contained in the implementation plan.
Different components of a course may be assessed individually.
The assessment scale is as follows: 5 excellent 4 very good 3 good 2 very satisfactory 1 satisfactory 0 fail H pass
The grade of an approved course cannot be upgraded in a re-sit. Students that fail a course may re-sit the exam twice on specified dates.
Students will be provided with feedback and assessment within four weeks of their course performance and in any case well before the next possible retake. The teacher in charge of the course will ensure that the course grades are entered in the study credit register after the assessments have been made public. Grades for successfully completed courses that have been entered in the study credit register cannot be erased. The course coordinator or teacher files the documents used as the basis for student assessment for six months, counting from the publication of the assessment.

Development
Rakennustekniikan koulutusohjelma on muutettu osaamisperustaiseksi. Opetussuunnitelmaa on kehitetty yhteistyössä rakennustekniikan neuvottelukunnan ja muiden yhteistyökumppaneiden kanssa. Lisäksi pidempijänteistä kehittämistä varten on perustettu rakennuslan tulevaisuustyöryhmä, johon on koottu asiantuntijoita rakennuslalta ja muista sidosryhmistä.
Opetussuunnitelma on käsitelty ja hyväksytty rakennustekniikan neuvottelukunnan kokouksessa 29.3.2012.
