Hydraulic Engineering and Structures

This specialization aims to train engineers for the design, execution, operation and maintenance of hydrotechnical works. Such works are dykes for the protection of farms and social-economic objectives, riverbed regulation to improve flow conditions, irrigation, drainage to eliminate excess water, works to combat soil erosion, damming of watercourses to create reservoirs, hydroelectric installations,

Graduates of this specialization are also able to draw up hydrological forecasts and water resource management plans and to carry out disaster prevention or management studies (floods, earthquakes, landslides). All the above in harmony with the environment and with the clear objective of sustainable development. It trains specialists in the following fields:

• dam works for the creation of reservoirs, with the aim of providing water;

• dam works combined with diking and regularization works in order to protect the population and material goods against flooding.

• development of river ports and seaports.

• coastal and coastal protection works.

• hydrological forecasts and water resource management plans;

• disaster management (floods, earthquakes, landslides).

Career prospects:

• construction companies (water supply, sewers, dams, river regulation, harbours, coastal protection);

• design firms (water supply, sewerage, dams, river regularisation, ports and shipyards, coastal protection, building installations, roads, etc.);

• research institutes;

• operating companies (municipal or county water supply, Hydroelectric, etc.);

• state bodies ("Apele Române", National Environmental Protection Agency).
