Bachelor of Environmental Engineering

The aim of this Degree Programme is to train graduates able to work in environmental engineering, particularly in the field of the protection of the soil and the territory, environmental techniques and technologies and geo-resources and geotechnologies. The main areas of study include: -environmental risk analysis, with reference to normal and abnormal conditions caused by anthropic settlements and activities; - open air and underground excavations, soil and rock logging, for the construction of tunnels and other civil and mining works; -interventions for territorial prevention, protection and reclamation required as a result of natural and/or anthropic territorial damage.

For this purpose, the curriculum is designed to ensure that graduates acquire: - a suitable command of the methodological and practical aspects of basic sciences applied to engineering; -appropriate command of general engineering knowledge and tools and those applied to environmental engineering, including: methods, techniques, equipment, systems and infrastructure for the design, execution, management and monitoring of works which imply modifications to the biosphere, with particular reference to the layer of the earth affected by anthropic functions and current and potential resources of interest to man.

In their first year, students particularly acquire a solid common base of knowledge in the fields of mathematics, computing, general physics and applied chemistry. Thereafter, the curriculum in years two and three are marked by their multidisciplinary and inter-sectoral approach, mainly within the field of environmental engineering, including learning activities in the field of civil engineering and safety. The learning activities, including workshops, therefore aim to develop the students' knowledge and competence in geology-applied geotechnics, construction and materials techniques, mining and underground fluid engineering, hydraulics and hydraulic constructions, topography and cartography, chemical engineering and chemical systems. Graduates will complete their training with basic knowledge of the fields of economic and management engineering and one foreign language.

This programme is available in Italian.
