The environmental curricula offered by the Faculty at the Savona Campus are organized in three levels.

1. A first level degree (FLD) called ‘Laurea di primo livello’ (bachelor) that spans over three years (Class: basic degree for the civil and environmental engineering).
2. An intermediate degree or industrial master (IM) of one year duration.
3. A second level degree (SLD) or ‘Laurea Specialistica’ (master of science) that lasts two years (Class: specialization degree for the civil and environmental engineering).

• Industry and Environment

• Land Management and Environment

For the following academic years the Faculty plans to activate, on the basis of the available resources, the IM and second level curricula. The teaching offer will be tuned with student and industrial demand.

The IM and SLD presently proposed for the future are:

1. An IM on the theme ‘Industry and Environment’ that has been requested by the companies operating in the region that are within the AC.
2. A SLD for the theme ‘Land Planning and Environment’ that completes the curricula for the master of science planned by the Engineering Faculty committee.
3. A SLD for ‘Industry and Environment’ that will be activated on request of the industrial part and possibly be modulated through a set of IM to increase flexibility and enhance continuous learning.

Purposes and job potential

The FLD spans over three years and corresponds to 180 credits.

The FLD curricula will give:

• first methodological and operational knowledge on math and other basic sciences;
• first methodological and operational knowledge on engineering sciences, with special attention to those related to the environment;
• knowledge related to experiment planning and operation and data analysis;
• comprehension of the environmental and social impact of engineering actions;
• knowledge of professional and ethical responsibilities and implications;
• knowledge of economical, managing and operational problems within the industrial contest;
• general socio-political awareness on environmental and enterprise development themes;
• communication capabilities, both oral and written, with regards to ideas and data representation also in the international contest;
• individual study methodologies and capabilities of knowledge updating.

In particular work will be available within the following fields.

• Civil construction and planning: maintenance and building companies, engineering societies, public offices for planning, design and control.
• Industrial management and maintenance: automation, control and logistic companies, small and medium size enterprises, industrial marketing groups.
• Environmental planning and design: counseling, public offices, companies for waste disposal and wastewater treatment, small and medium size enterprise environmental rules and technological advise societies.

General purposes and outline

The SLDs span over two years (120 credits) and are modulated over 18 courses and a final thesis.

The SLD curricula will complete the FLD curricula regarding the basic sciences, will develop the student capabilities on the theoretical aspects and technical and operational matters and introduce to research and advanced applications in the specialization branches.
 
 

The IM will last one year and earn 60 credits distributed within 8 modules. It is meant to introduce continuous formation and re-qualification according to enterprise requirements and will regard applied subjects such as: informatics, industrial systems, security and environmental impact evaluation.
