The Civil Engineering Career Research Group (GICIV) is based on the projections of Civil Engineering and related disciplines, such as earth and materials sciences. Its mission focuses on research in science and engineering, where the former are oriented towards the validation of hypotheses and the latter towards the development of procedures to optimize natural processes. The group is motivated by the social reality of the country, aligning its lines of research with the needs of the public and private sectors. Composed of a multidisciplinary team of teachers and technicians from the Civil Engineering Program at the Salesiana Polytechnic University, GICIV benefits from the experience accumulated since the foundation of the program in 2001, highlighting its commitment to pedagogy and applied research.

Research lines:

1. Evaluation and development of methodologies related to the interaction between the environment and civil works, based on geoscience
2. Analysis, development and improvement of materials, tools and techniques for use in construction, industry and various applications
3. Analytical and numerical models to analyze the behavior of materials and systems taking into account current regulations
4. Development of techniques and tools for teaching basic sciences in the training of civil engineers
