Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment

What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?

The Master's Degree of Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment aims to train technicians who are experts in the protection and restoration of natural heritage and human environment.

The training path is strongly characterized by the fact that it is focused to solving complex environmental problems once data are acquired and interpreted.

This using innovative and advanced engineering approaches and methods developed specifically for the Environmental Engineer who then become their specific tools that characterize this professional figure.

Among the various engineering fields, this is the most multidisciplinary, combining knowledge gained from civil engineering, chemical engineering, energy engineering with strong contamination from mechanical, electrical, computer and management engineering.

This is because the senior environmental engineer serves various entities in industry, service infrastructure and public administrations with a wide range of tasks; all of them aimed at protecting and restoring the environment in a sustainable and circular manner.

What do you learn?

The Master's Degree in Engineering and Innovative Technologies for the Environment, in addition to the theoretical-scientific aspects of basic sciences will be able to:

• Know the theoretical-scientific aspects of engineering, both in general and in depth to solve complex or interdisciplinary problems in innovative ways;
• To design, plan, design and operate complex and/or innovative systems, processes and services;
analysis and remediation of surface and groundwater bodies, treatment of supply and waste water and waste management, remediation of contaminated sites, techniques for treating discharges into the atmosphere and management of energy resources.

For a better qualification in the acquired knowledge, the Master’s Degree provides for the deepening of topics related to both environmental protection and restoration, as well as soil protection.

In fact, the Master’s Degree course has two profiles:
• Protection and restoration of the environment;
• Water resources and hydrogeological risk.

For each of the two profiles, a first year is planned, including subjects of basic themes for the master’s degree as well as some application topics both common to the two profiles and diversified.

The second year is dedicated to the deepening of topics characterizing the Master’s Degree Course, diversified in the two profiles.

What can you do with it?

Senior Engineer with the functions of:

• Design of water treatment, waste gas and waste management;
• Planning of soil protection interventions;
• Characterisation of contaminated sites and planning of remediation and/or safety measures;
• Design of plants of alternative and renewable energy resources;
• Performing experiments, analyses and interpretations of environmental data;
• Participation in the drafting of Urban and Territorial Plans;
• Environmental impact assessment studies for plans and projects;
Competence:
• Field activities, coordination and implementation of project interventions for products and works related to environmental protection, soil protection and energy resources, - monitoring and control of the activities of parameters characterizing natural and productive processes and plant operations;
Job opportunities:
• Public and private agencies, companies, professional practice, freelance activities and more generally with all those involved in planning, design, implementation, Monitoring, control and management of interventions aimed at environmental protection, soil protection and the use of alternative and renewable energy resources.

Finally, the degree programme also gives access to doctoral courses relating to the subjects studied, after passing the relevant public competition.
