U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

A key strength of the Eng. Dept. is the quality of its academic training. Students receive an excellent teaching, which draws on the expertise of high-qualified academics, well-equipped laboratories, and many other teaching facilities & services. The learning environment is pleasant, with study rooms and a well-equipped library. Interaction between teachers and students is frequent and fruitful. Academic training directly benefits from the links with professional or public companies, that leads to a high number of internships and a high employment rate of our engineers.

The undergraduate program in Civil and Environmental Engineering consists of three years: main target is to provide a rigorous education on fundamentals of civil engineering, paying attention to environmental aspects. The basic knowledge on drawing, survey, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics and acoustics, architecture and real estate valuation is imparted, after a proper basic formation concerning mathematics, physics and chemistry. The course is conceived to prepare the student to profitably attend the master in Civil Engineering that is the natural merge of the course.
