Course info
Graduates of the 2nd cycle degree course in Environment Engineering should: - Possess advanced knowledge of the theoretical-scientific aspects of mathematical, physical and chemical sciences and of other core sciences ad be able to use this knowledge to interpret and describe complex engineering problems or problems requiring an interdisciplinary approach; - Possess advanced knowledge of the theoretical-scientific engineering aspects at large as well as advanced knowledge of environment engineering issues, where they should be capable of identifying, formulating and solving in an innovative way complex problems or problems requiring an interdisciplinary approach; - Be able to devise, plan ,design and manage complex and/or innovative systems, processes and services, with respect, in particular, to: - the analysis and rehabilitation of surface water and groundwater; - the treatment of supply water and wastewater and waste management; - the reclamation of contaminated sites; - the analysis of air pollution and recovery techniques; - the management of energy resources; - the analysis and noise control; For a better qualification of acquired competences, the 2nd cycle Degree Course provides for deep investigations of issues concerning the environment as well as soil defence. For this purpose, the educational programme provides a first year including advanced courses related to core issues (hydraulic, industrial chemical processes, construction technique) and to common application issues (analysis of energy resources, town hydraulics, contaminated sites, hydrogeological risk). The second year is dedicated to the advanced study of issues characterizing the 2nd cycle Degree Course, such as: liquid and gaseous effluent treatment processes, acoustics and industrial safety, mechanics of rocks, hydraulic protection of land, remote sensing and road infrastructures, analysis of energy resources.
Graduates of this course may find professional opportunities in: public and private institutions, companies, professional offices, self-employment and, in general, all those who are interested in planning, design, implementation, monitoring, testing and management of actions for the preservation of the environment, the soil defence and the use of alternative and renewable energy resources. The degree also enable graduates, after passing a public selection, to enroll in PhD courses related to relevant issues.
It consists of the discussion of a dissertation written under the guidance of professors and/or professional experts, aiming at demonstrating the candidate's technical-scientific and professional background. The topic of the dissertation is chosen by the student and approved by the Board of the Degree course.
