Graduates of Civil Engineering in Physics are professionals with a solid background in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). The rigorous training and mastery of the basic fundamentals of the discipline allow the students to combine theoretical, experimental and applied physics in the resolution of specific problems in productive, technological and industrial areas, developing efficient and sustainable solutions over time. In the generation of solutions, they will be able to apply and interrelate specific areas of physics together with their administrative and management skills, being able to undertake, innovate, research, design, develop, implement and/or transfer both knowledge and technologies to achieve solutions that contribute to add value to companies and their processes. In addition, students will have a comprehensive training, which will allow them to develop in national and international interdisciplinary environments, being able to integrate work teams in their areas of development, with the transversal skills that are the hallmark of the Universidad Técnica Federico Santa María. It is important to highlight that graduate of Civil Engineering in Physics will be able to continue postgraduate studies and/or postgraduate degrees both in the country and abroad, in areas of knowledge related to their discipline.

The curricular structure of Civil Engineering in Physics includes 6 main lines of training or specialization. Each line is structured by a main subject, which introduces the technical bases and theoretical foundations of the specialty, and two in-depth subjects of the training line. All main subjects are compulsory, which ensures that students develop the considered graduation profile.
In the degree process, students must develop at least one main line of study, being able to complement their professional training through 3 elective subjects offered by the Physics Department, by other academic units of the USM, or with graduate or postgraduate courses of our university, thus generating an effective academic articulation.
