Metropolia University of Applied Sciences describes this Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering as a programme with two specialisation paths: Computing in Construction and Civil Engineering Management. The studies cover BIM, GIS and openBIM, ISO 19650, imaging, sensing, AI, machine learning, knowledge graphs, linked data, security and privacy, computational design, digital twins, product data, procurement, supply chain management, digitalized construction management, and sustainable development in construction and real estate.
The degree has 60 ECTS credits and is organised into common studies, elective studies, free elective studies, and a Master’s Thesis. The thesis is an R&D development project done in a real business context, typically for the student’s own place of work. The specialisation is selected during the application process.
Metropolia University of Applied Sciences says the programme is for students who want to respond to digitalization, sustainable development, larger and more complex projects, and internationalization in the construction industry.
