Three-Year (Bachelor-Level) Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering

Brochure

The Three-Year (Bachelor-Level) Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering aims at supplying graduates with a methodological training relying on basic (mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science) and specific knowledge relate to this field of study.
Graduates of the Three-Year Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering have to:

To know properly the methodological cooperative aspects of mathematics and other basic sciences and be able to use this knowledge in order to interpret and describe engineering problems;
To know properly the methodological and operational aspects of the engineering sciences in general, and know in depth a specific field of civil and environmental engineering in particular, in which they will be able to identify, formulate and solve problems, using updated methods, techniques and tools;
To be able to use techniques and tools for the design of components, systems and processes;
To be able to conduct experiments; analyze and interpret the related data;
To be able to understand the impact of engineering solutions in the social and physical-environmental contexts;
To know their own professional and ethical responsibilities;
To understand the business context and the enterprise culture in its economic, managerial and organizational aspects;
To know contemporary contexts;
To have social and decision-making skills;
To be able to communicate effectively, in written and oral form, in at least one language of the European Union, beside Italian;
To possess the basic cognitive tools for the continuous updating of their own knowledge.

Those who will earn an online Degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering will also possess the knowledge required to carry out professional activities in different areas, also contributing to activities such as design, production, management and organization, assistance to technical and commercial facilities, risk analysis, security management in the phase of prevention and emergency, as freelance professionals as well as in manufacture or services businesses sectors and also in public administrations.
In particular, the professionalism of the graduates are defined in relation to the different fields of application.
Specific educational objectives aim to provide the graduates with the methodological preparation, which uses all the basic knowledge in the field of mathematics, physics, chemistry, information technologies, and with knowledge in the specific subjects characterised civil and environmental engineering. In this way students will be able to face and solve new technical problems efficiently, and continue successfully the future completion of the preparation with the obtaining of a second-cycle degree. Actually, many are the employment prospects for graduates in Civil and Environmental Engineering. More specifically, the graduates’ professional skills can be defined in relation to the different application fields.
The specific training objectives are those of supplying the graduates with a methodological training which makes use of all basic, mathematic, physical, chemical, computer skills and knowledge about specific subjects which characterize civil and environmental engineering, enabling them to meet and solve in a satisfactory way technical problems, even advanced ones and enabling them to complete their training by obtaining a second-cycle (master-level) degree.
The graduate in Civil and Environmental Engineering acquired basic knowledge about basic mathematics, general and applied physics, of materials and of the structures used for civil constructions, about electrotechnics and plants, of graphical representation and land survey, public works and environmental laws, hydraulics, economics and property value. In addition, he has working knowledge to the main basic disciplines and of some applicative disciplines of civil and environmental engineering.
The cultural and professional profile of the graduate in Civil and Environmental Engineering is therefore that of technician having a suitable cultural background and a good basic training and knowledge of the most important disciplines characterizing the sector of the civil constructions and land management measures, paying particular attention to environmental questions that allow him to plan land management measures, to manage civil plants and design simple public works. The share of activities at the student’s disposal for individual study or for other individual training activities is 68% of the total workload, unless training activities with high level experimental or practical activities are envisaged. The training path aims at integrating skills in the civil sector with those in the environmental one.

Broadly speaking, the first year is characterized by a basic scientific training, the second one by basic engineering training, whereas the third year allows studying more in the depth the subjects that are more professionalizing and allows choosing between disciplines that are more linked to the environmental area or those that are typically more linked to the civil area.
