The Degree Course prepares for the profession of Graduate Surveyors, qualified technicians in the civil and territorial construction and infrastructure sector, through a professionalizing programme, including laboratory practice as well as a significant practical internship at companies, organizations and professional offices in the sector.
The Degree Course trains professionals with a cultural profile concentrated on three main cores: land surveying, construction, and appraisal. The contents taught also include energy efficiency, works and construction safety, building protection, building monitoring, occupational safety, real estate valuation and asset management. The entire course will have a strong focus on digitization and IT management of projects and activities. In the teachings and, above all, in the laboratories, various computer programs useful for the activities of trained professionals will be taught: SW for CAD, BIM, GIS, topographic survey, energy certification as well as the advanced use of a spreadsheet, useful for carrying out technical calculations, reports, bills of quantities. The use of digital tools for land surveying and monitoring will be taught, such as topographic total stations (manual and motorized), GNSS geodetic receivers, scanning lasers, drones.
After a basic training in scientific disciplines, the course covers legislative aspects, valuation, yards operations, topographic survey, cadastre, representation, structural static structures and behaviours, building support and data management using GIS and BIM.
In particular, the first year prepares students for the basic disciplines and activities and includes:
Fundamentals of mathematics, physics, chemistry, graphic restitution, estimates and statics, supported by the first laboratories, aiming at to consolidating the contents.
The second year prepares students on specific issues, inherent to the building and construction process in its various forms, of new constructions and management of the existing with particular attention to energy aspects.
The third year mostly consists of workshops consolidating the knowledge and experience of previous years and of a professional internship providing students the skills that will help them to access the labour market.
