Graduates of the 2nd cycle degree course in Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment 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 aspects of engineering 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 processing of supply water, 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 pollution control.
For a better qualification of acquired competences, the 2nd cycle Degree Course provides deep investigations of environment-related as well as soil defence issues. For this purpose, the educational programme provides a first year including advanced courses related to core issues (hydraulics, industrial chemical processes, construction technique) and to common application issues (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 processing, acoustics and industrial safety, mechanics of rocks, hydraulic protection of land, remote sensing and road infrastructures, analysis of energy resources.
