MESTEC aims to train professionals with a sound preparation in Civil Engineering Structures, so they can enter the national and international labour market at a more competitive position. The coursework component and the dissertation of MESTEC ensure sound education in analysis and design methods for Civil Engineering works where Structures and Geotechnics closely interact. In this field of knowledge, the educational offer of 2^nd cycle studies is scarce or inexistent both in Portugal and in Portuguese speaking countries. Hence, MESTEC will fill an important gap in terms of specialised education.

Those potentially interested in MESTEC include the national and international technical staff related to Structures and Geotechnics. At an international level, it can be attractive to students from countries where there is a limited offer of advanced quality education in Structures and Geotechnics at moderate costs.
