The educational objectives of the Degree in Environmental Engineering aim at the knowledge and solution of all design and planning problems relating to the environment and the territory.
In particular, the graduate in Environmental Engineering must be able to:
a) analyze and interpret environmental data;
b) use techniques and tools for the design of components, systems and processes aiming at the protection of the environment and the defense of soil;
c) identify the areas at (chemical, industrial, geological) risk in the region with respect to the defense against natural events and human activities;
d) assess the environmental compatibility of projects, also in terms of sustainability, in relation to laws in force; participate in the preparation and management of urban, territorial and environmental plans and of plans for the utilization and fruition of reserves and nature parks.
The Degree Course provides in-depth study of the issues related to both the knowledge of the territory (monitoring, protection and control techniques) and the pollution of the environmental compartments (monitoring, prevention, rehabilitation).
This in-depth study follows the study of basic subjects and more course-specific subjects provided in the first two years of the course. In particular, in the first year, students acquire basic knowledge in core disciplines such as math, physics and chemistry, and of the English language. During the second year the course provides the knowledge related to the disciplines that characterize it, such as Hydraulics, Environmental Health Engineering, Construction Theory and Geotechnics. Finally, the third year focuses on specific methods and techniques of the environmental engineer's activity, as well as on other educational activities as per art. 10, paragraph 5 letter d of DM 270.
Graduates of this course may have debt-free access to the 2nd cycle Degree in Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment.
