Overview
What you will study
The objective of the Regenerative Materials - Structural Specialisation programme offered by ETH Zurich - Swiss Federal Institute of Technology is to impart results-oriented skills relevant to the structural dimensioning of long-lasting buildings or infrastructure. Programme teaching combines complementary methods based on active learning to ensure an efficient and durable impact on participants’ professional development. The long-term strategy of the programme is to further the dissemination of rigorous information on Regenerative Materials, and to strengthen the network of players in this field over a wide range.
On completion of the programme participants will be able to plan and calculate the structural behaviour of building structures made of earth and bio-based and re-used materials. The main tools available will be analysed and used through exercises based on existing case studies, visits to example buildings and analysis of technical details. Graduates may take advantage of new professional opportunities in architectural or engineering offices, control agencies or construction companies.
