Course info
The Degree Course in class l-7 (Civil and environmental engineering) and L-23 (Construction science and technique) specifically aims at educating professionals capable of having technical and technical-organizational positions in contexts requiring the knowledge of the methodological-operational aspects of core sciences as well as of civil and construction engineering, For this reason, the course provides for the basic mathematics-physics and scientific technical training needed to interpret, describe and solve specific problems, enabling students to learn, through individual study too and to update their competences, both autonomously and through specific teachings, The objective is to enable graduates to enter the labour market with autonomy and capability of changing and adapting to various functions (technician releasing authorizations and the like in public agencies and administrations, yard technicians, planning support, etc...) without being limited in closed areas due to an excessive sectorial training. The course will provide basic knowledge with respect to: - The principles, methods and tools for modelling and calculation of structures, as well as the criteria for the design of structural elements and structures of medium complexity in reinforced concrete and steel by means of recurrent patterns. - The principles, methodologies and tools for the calculation of the design variables and the design of hydraulic structures of medium complexity in urban and suburban areas, through the application of computational methods and consolidated. - The criteria and methods for geometric design of road infrastructures and safety, for their management and construction, as well as the basics for the design of the relevant structural elements (retaining walls, paving, etc. . ) and for the choice of building materials . - The engineering of transport systems (urban collective, railroad, individual road), with respect to the analysis of transport demand and supply of. - Survey Engineering as well as the criteria, problems and methodologies for the survey, control, monitoring and representation of structures and land, as well as the basic methods for data processing with respect to the system and the realization of topographic surveys of medium complexity at different scales and extension. - The principles of the physical and mechanical characterization of land and the main experimental methods for the identification of the relevant parameters. - the methods for carrying out experimental tests of medium difficulty and interpreting data in various fields of Civil Engineering . - The engineering of architectural design, with regard to technological aspects, plant , structural, environmental, safety , operational and shipbuilding; - The engineering of the construction process, which, starting from the plan, continues with the procurement, construction, testing, operation, maintenance, recovery. The training process is structured as follows: - The first year provides the basic knowledge for achieving a scientific language in mathematics, chemistry, physics and representation, preparatory for further studies, and also the testing of at least one foreign language; - During the second year students will studies some disciplines in the fields of mathematics and physics as well as other disciplines of civil and construction engineering, which are useful for the advanced scientific and technical training needed to interpret, describe and solve the typical issues of the educational programme. The second year also provides for related subjects. - The third year provides for the typical applied knowledge of the class L -7 and Class L -23, through various teachings characteristic aiming at the achievement of the above mentioned specific objectives. - The methods and teaching tools with which the expected learning outcomes are achieved are the following: lectures and classroom exercises, laboratory activities, technical visits, internships at companies, government agencies, professional firms and engineering companies, seminars, participation in Conferences. The programme is completed by elective courses (at least 12 credits), other activities, aiming at the access in the labour market (at least 3 credits) and the final examination (at least 3 credits) in order to verify the achievement of learning outcomes as well as students' independence of judgment and ability to communicate.
The natural professional opportunities for civil-construction engineering may be found in self-employment, after passing the postgraduate national qualification examination, and enrolling in the professional registrar - civil-environmental section. Graduates of this course might also find professional opportunities as employees (high level positions) in companies and production facilities of various sizes, as well as in public facilities, construction and infrastructure yards, as well as at (basic or applied) research centers, where the preparation of the engineer, which combines theoretical basis with unquestionable pragmatic and managerial skills, can be greatly enhanced. The expected job opportunities are therefore: - "junior engineer" positions at regional public and private authorities, public and private companies, engineering firms, construction industry, local and national Civil Defense offices and agencies. - Activity as chief operating officer of the works, site inspector , safety coordinator at the design stage and during execution of the work , technical director and site manager in construction companies . - Design, planning , management and control of civil infrastructure and local services networks. Graduates in the class L7 and L23 may enroll in their respective professional registrars, in accordance with the laws in force.
The final examination, being an important individual educational step, at the end of the course, consists of the preparation and discussion, under the guidance of a supervising professor, of an applicative paper, related to the course subjects. The dissertation topic is chosen by the student and approved nu the Board of the Degree Course: The paper should be accompanied by a multimedia presentation, discussed during the final examination.
