Within the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences the university provides education in the spheres of engineering, social sciences, humanities, teaching, health sciences, music, media education, and drama. About 10,000 students are presently enrolled and the university employs a staff of approximately 1,350. Besides the main campus in Luleå, campuses are located in Piteå, Kiruna, Boden and Skellefteå. An important sector of research is civil engineering under arctic conditions. Together with the usual courses on mathematics and computer science, engineering courses are given on Arctic Engineering and snow.
LUT's Department of Civil and Mining Engineering has 7 divisions and a well equipped laboratory. It employs at present approximately 80 staff members committed to research and education in the areas of construction management, rock, structural and soil mechanics, mining and structural engineering, steel structures.
The department's
Division
of Structural Engineering was established in 1977 and is involved in
research and education on efficient and effective design, production and
maintenance of structures. The division's education activities comprise
