UMIP

FACULTY OF

MARITIME CIVIL

ENGINEERING

The Faculty of Maritime Civil Engineering bases its origin on the development of the Panamanian maritime conglomerate that includes: the expansion of the Canal, the expansion of the existing port facilities, the creation of new ports and marinas, the progress and improvement of the shipyards, and the Impact studies that installations and facilities on the marine and coastal environment would have. In this faculty the UMIP will be able to promote, create, organize, and execute the academic programs that fill the need of specialists and workforce that this conglomerate requires. In the same way, the Faculty will promote the creation of new knowledge and technologies through research programs that will result in projects such as: new designs of structures and marine installations, the development of new "software" applicable to the maritime civil engineering, studies of new materials for shipbuilding and for marine and coastal infrastructure, among others.

OBJECTIVES

To train professionals capable of carrying out operational and administrative tasks on board ships and naval factories, by providing them with the necessary tools and elements that guarantee an efficient and safe work environment.

Create professionals committed to compliance with international and national standards on the safety of human life at sea and the protection of the environment.

Encourage the development of professionals willing to promote the continuous improvement of their environment, with a high sense of social responsibility.
