skills needed in the design and execution of a relief and processing of data relating to it.

1018582 | GEOTECHNIQUE [ICAR/07] [ITA]1st1st6

Educational objectives

The Course aims at providing the students with the basics of Soil Mechanics, such as the definition and determination of soil physical properties, the definition of the principle of effective stresses for saturated soils, the study of the soil-water interaction under hydrostatic, steady-state and transient (consolidation) conditions, the experimental determination of soil mechanical parameters related to compressibility and strength, the definition of failure criteria, and the application of simple limit condition problems, through the basic concepts of Limit Analysis and Equilibrium.

SPECIFIC AIMS
1. Knowledge and ability to understand and learn the basic theoretical knowledge of Soil Mechanics;
2. capability of applying the acquired knowledge to the solution of real cases;
3. communication skill of the acquired knowledge, during an oral examination;
4. capability of making an independent judgment when facing a problem related to the subjects of the course.

10599894 | Coastal engineering [ICAR/02] [ENG]1st1st6
1051669 | TERRITORIAL DESIGN [ICAR/20] [ITA]1st2nd9

Educational objectives

The course’s general objective is to provide students with the theoretical and technical skills needed to be able to apply the processes and tools of urban and regional planning with particular reference to systemic analysis and management of complex systems and interdisciplinary knowledge.

The specific objectives are to help them acquire the following skills:

- the ability to apply legal texts, regulations and technical guidelines in both conventional and innovative ways, in order to address the issues of planning and management of the territory;

- the ability to use GIS and webGIS tools for monitoring and managing territorial changes and strategic infrastructure networks;

- the ability to carry out environmental and territorial impact assessment studies and resilience assessments;

- the ability to link the main planning theories to the construction of innovative planning processes.

The course will also allow them to:

- fine tune their critical and judgment skills by writing reports and drawing up thematic and design maps of broad complex areas;

- upgrade their ability to communicate what they have learned through group work and to discuss their outputs during pre-planned meetings with other groups and the professor;

- the ability to participate in interdisciplinary exchanges with partners specialised in the many sectors involved in environmental protection and regional planning;

- an improved ability to carry on research autonomously, including the consultation of specialized bibliographic sources.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to conduct complex territorial analyses, use tools for monitoring and managing networks of strategic infrastructures and develop proposals for spatial and regional planning schemes in which environmental and territorial assessment methods are fully integrated.

10600473 | NONRENEWABLE RESOURCES AND URBAN MINING [ING-IND/29] [ENG]1st2nd9

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide technical and scientific information about the evaluation and exploitation of secondary raw materials as well as manufactured from heavily populated areas such as cities. Particular attention will be addressed to the illustration of the problems related to the development of operational logics and processes able to obtain, starting from urban waste products, elements and/or materials usually derived from non-renewable resources. All this in an environmentally sustainable perspective, both in regards to the environment and processes.

10600476 | ENVIRONMENTAL FLUID MECHANICS [ICAR/01] [ENG]1st2nd9

Educational objectives

Educational objectives.
The Environmental Fluid Mechanics course extends the knowledge of fluid mechanics acquired in the Bachelor's degree to the context of water motion in natural environments such as rivers, lakes, coastal areas and aquifers. It provides students with a description of the phenomena involved in the motion of fluids in such environments and their importance, as well as the basic elements of the different possible representation schemes of the motion field and their modeling formalization. The turbulent character of the motion is highlighted, different turbulence closure schemes are discussed, as well as possible schematizations at different levels of complexity, numerical techniques for solving equations developed and discussed. An application path related to the simulation of free surface flows in river courses completes the training.

Knowledge and understanding
Understanding of the typical phenomena of environmental hydraulics and problems related to the modeling of free surface and groundwater flows. Knowledge of the problems related to the numerical resolution of calculation algorithms. Ability to correctly use application software by imposing the right boundary conditions and ability to interpret the results of simulations.

10592968 | EVALUATION AND SUSTAINABLE USE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES [GEO/09] [ITA]2nd1st9

Educational objectives

The course aims to provide the scientific basis and the technical knowledge to develop interdisciplinary expertise in the environmental field and to define an approach to all problems related to sustainable development, by integrating the paradigms and perspectives of individual disciplines which are included in the analysis and study of environment and resources.
To this end, the course will be addressed to train professional figures able to:
● characterize the environmental and energy load of processes and services in order to mitigate their impacts through a rational and sustainable use of exhaustible and renewable resources;
● identify the procedures for controlling the environmental performance of a product and/or process, also for the purpose of carrying out environmental labeling systems and management tools that allow economic and non-economic organizations to control the environmental impacts of their activities and to pursue continuous improvement of environmental performances;
● identify assessment techniques for calculating total costs (private plus environmental) throughout the life cycle of a product/service;
● plan, manage and control, safeguarding the environment, economic and social processes taking place at the local level;
● addressing environmental issues through the characterization of the territorial resource, including also the application of satellite image analysis techniques, at medium and high geometric resolution.
