Skills:
1) responsible for energy projects in the civil and industrial fields: development and management in all its phases the design and construction of a plant, a production process or a service related to the production or use of energy. Among the knowledge typically called into question: thermotechnics, technical systems, design of energy plants, solar energy systems, electrical systems for production and transmission, hydrogen technology and electrochemical storage systems, electric and hybrid propulsion systems
2) responsible for conventional and nuclear energy plants at institutions and companies, performing safety and / or environmental impact analyzes of plants and processes for the production, transformation and use of energy. The related competences are: technical installations, environmental impact of energy systems, power of production and transmission systems, nuclear fission and fusion plants.
3) energy manager at institutions and companies, running and optimizing the overall energy consumption of companies or agencies; performing energy audits with the managers of processes, facilities and services. The related competences are: thermotechnics, design of energy plants and cold technology, analysis of energy systems and thermoeconomics, eco-design of components and energy systems, combustion.
4) freelance engineer: after obtaining the qualification to practice as senior industrial engineers, Energy and Nuclear Engineers will operate above all in the energy and environmental fields, thanks to the pecific knowledge of technical systems, thermotechnics, building thermophysics, combustion.
5) responsible for research programs at research institutions and companies: manages, participating in or evaluating research projects of experimental or theoretical and computational nature. The related competences are: numerical thermofluidynamics, fission and fusion nuclear plants.
6) Expert in plants for power and heat production based on renewable sources, designing and running the components and systems used for the production. These skills deal with plant engineering and the physics of wind, geothermal, solar, sea-motor and biomass exploiting plants (energy and economic evaluation of the energy source, conceptual design and dimensioning of plants and components). The related competences are: numerical thermofluidynamics, geothermal and biomass plants, wind and tidal energy sources, solar plants.
7) Energy planning expert, performing analysis on different territorial scales (urban, municipal, national, international) on energy balances, in order to plan the use and location of power production plants according to the demand, evaluating the environmental repercussions. The related competences are: design of power plants, analysis of energy systems and thermoeconomics, eco-design of components and energy systems, power production and transmission sysems.
