The Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) of the University of Cyprus (UCY) offers graduate degree programs in Civil Engineering with a specialization in Construction and Transport Infrastructure Management (CTIM), at both the Master's (M.Eng., M.Sc.) and doctoral (Ph.D.) levels.
The CTIM graduate program covers the most current theories and practices needed by the construction & transport engineering and management professional. It is taught by faculty and industry professionals who hold particular prominence in their respective fields, and is complemented by knowledge infusions from visiting scholars. CTIM programs utilize case-based learning and are ideal for engineers, construction and transportation professionals.
Further to the postgraduate academic programs, the CTIM group is actively involved in theoretical and applied research pertaining to construction and transportation engineering and management. Said research work is performed at CTIM's two operated laboratories, the EUPALINOS - Construction Engineering and Water Distribution Networks Management Laboratory and the Lab for Transport Engineering (LTE), directed by Dr. Symeon Christodoulou and Dr. Loukas Dimitriou, respectively.
The University of Cyprus's CTIM group is co-managed by Dr. Symeon Christodoulou and Dr. Loukas Dimitriou, proud owners of the "
EUPALINOS - Construction Engineering & Water Distribution Networks Management Laboratory"
and of the "
Lab for Transport Engineering (LTE)".
Dr. Symeon Christodoulou, Head of the construction management group, and Dr. Loukas Dimitriou, Head of the transportation engineering group, are prominent researchers and academics in their respective fields, recipients of several academic and research awards, national representatives to international committees, authors of numerous publications and reviewers for over 100 scientific journals and technical conference committees.
Below are some of CTIM's most recent news and noteworthy achievements. Just bare in mind that no news, is good news.

For Us, Research Is A Way of Life, And Academic Success Is The Result Of Not Only Ingenious Ideas But Also Of Preparation, Hard Work And Perseverance.
by Dr. Symeon Christodoulou
Our research focuses on issues of national and international interest, of either applied or scientific nature, all intertwined in a self-feeding research and academic loop. National research agendas are linked to related international efforts, international knowledge is transfused into national research, scientific research is put to practice, and all earned knowledge is then transformed into instructional material. Within the general area of construction and transport infrastructure management, emphasis is given by the CTIM group on the following thematic areas: Building information models (BIM), risk management, resource-constrained scheduling, information technology, lifeline networks, transport systems design and operations, intelligent transport systems (ITS), traffic modelling, travel behaviour and road safety, roadway anomaly detection and classification, pavement management systems.
Traditional and IT-based construction engineering and management, with emphasis on: project scheduling and cost controls, RCSP, operations analysis, risk management, decision support systems and artificial intelligence, competitive bidding and qualifications-based selection.

Read MoreBIM in construction engineering and management, construction informatics, parametric modelling, BIM- based building energy calculations, automatic generation of BIM, fully integrated and automated process processes.
Read MoreAnalysing the underlying phenomena of transport/travel behaviour at the disaggregate (drivers, persons, forwarders, operators, etc.) as well as the aggregate level (demand organization, social networks formation, travellers choices, cargo flows organization, collective spatio-temporal decision making etc.), following international state-of-the- art methodological and quantitative approaches.
Read MoreCTIM programs teach professionals the broad array of technical and non-technical activities associated with construction and transport infrastructure management, and consist of courses from the following four categories: (A) core courses; (B) technical electives; (C) CEE-offered courses; (D) UCY-offered courses. Students are required to take a specified number of courses from each category, as summarized in Tables above and described in detail in the course syllabi listed below. The list of CTIM courses is subject to change based on UCY's latest CEE prostgraduate program of studies (last update: Sep. 2015), which supercedes any information posted on this website.
