The Civil Engineering and Management Master's degree course focuses on both the technical and non technical aspects of civil engineering objects and systems.
The Civil Engineering and Management Master's degree course focuses extensively on both the technical and non technical aspects of planning, design, realisation and maintenance of civil engineering objects and systems. The high-speed train, the Betuwe freight railway, dike improvements and the Manhattan on the Meuse development project in Rotterdam are all technologically feasible projects. Technology, however, is not the only determining factor in the result. Political policy, participation and permission procedures, land expropriation, environmental impact studies, costing, budgeting and price control, logistic efficiency, safety and many other factors must be taken into account early in the plan development of real estate and infrastructure projects. It demands engineers who have mastered the process and who can oversee, analyse and predict all aspects of the design and execution of civil engineering projects.

Specialities:
Construction Process Management:
This track focuses on the development and delivery of infrastructure and real estate projects. Students learn about the analysis, design and control of the integral construction process, the performance of construction process organisations and the co-ordination of the activities/roles of the parties involved. The entire construction process (including sub-processes) from conception to demolition is addressed using an integral approach. The degree course subjects address such issues as plan development management at conceptual phase, public-private partnerships, design management, sustainable building, risk analysis and management, IT and logistics as well as market/organisational forms.
Transportation Engineering and Management:
This track deals with the behaviour, performance and management of traffic and transport systems. Students learn about the engineering, socio-economic, spatial and environmental aspects of these systems and about various aspects of human behaviour in respect to their potential use. Attention is paid to both transport planning and traffic management issues. Travel demand, infrastructural supply, maintenance, impacts, performance and control are studied using an integrated approach. Different tools are used to analyse traffic systems on different scales of space and time and to evaluate the impact of human interventions. Examples of topics addressed include area wide dynamic traffic management, intelligent transport systems, urban transport, sustainable development, traffic monitoring and evacuation planning. From a methodological perspective attention is focused on modelling, strategic planning, data fusion, evaluation methods and dynamic optimisation.
Water Engineering and Management:
This track focuses on the behaviour and management of water systems (e.g. rivers, estuaries, coastal zones and seas). Students learn about the physical and social-economic aspects of water management. Different tools are shown to analyse long-term behaviour and to evaluate the impact of human interventions on different functions of the water system. The role of models and uncertainty in the decision-making processes is also highlighted. Examples of topics addressed include flood protection, water retention, water quality management and bed river/sea bed development.
