Objectives
The Degree Programme aims to train construction technicians who are aware of the need to apply innovative technologies to the design and conservation of buildings, including their proper integration within the local community, through the promotion of a sustainable approach to construction that takes into account users’ health and well-being. Graduates in Technological and Digital Innovation Engineering for the Built Environment understand the importance of using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and innovative technologies to ensure the protection and enhancement of the environmental features of the territory, adopting a sustainable approach to its transformation through interventions on existing buildings to be regenerated and through new developments.
This is made possible by acquiring an in-depth understanding of the social, economic, environmental and historical characteristics of the territory, based primarily on surveying existing conditions, and by gaining knowledge of structural and construction techniques supported by advanced technologies. These technologies allow the monitoring of territorial transformation processes, including the use of recycled and low‑impact materials.
In this specific educational path, in addition to foundation subjects, the core disciplines of building engineering integrated with traditional civil engineering subjects are appropriately included. The acquisition of Information and Communication Technologies and innovative technologies has a specific role within the core and related disciplines of both building engineering and environmental engineering. This contributes to shaping a construction technician capable of using smart technologies within an approach aligned with the principles of the Circular Economy, promoting the reuse and optimisation of demolition materials and supporting sustainable environmental transformations of the territory.
Within this framework, the specific learning outcomes of the Degree Programme aim to provide students with the ability to analyse, identify, understand and intervene using innovative techniques based on Information and Communication Technologies and other advanced technologies. This is achieved with an awareness of the complex interrelations among the various activities of management, design and construction across the different operational scales of the construction sector, understood as the transformation of a territory in its physical, morphological, economic and social dimensions. Such transformation can only be achieved with a strong focus on the environmental impact and sustainability of the planned interventions.
To train professionals capable of operating effectively and responsibly within the current complex structure of the construction sector and territorial transformation in a sustainable perspective, the Degree Programme provides students with the necessary scientific knowledge and appropriate technical and operational training in the fields of Building and Environmental Engineering. These fields focus on the organisation, protection and transformation of the environment and the territory in which people live.
From this perspective, the Degree Programme in Technological and Digital Innovation Engineering for the Built Environment responds to specific, widespread and growing cultural, social and economic needs of a highly relevant operational sector. This sector increasingly requires advanced scientific and technological knowledge to provide design and management solutions for the diverse and articulated interventions on the territory and the environment, with the aim of achieving sustainability and complying with the principles of the Circular Economy while meeting wellbeing requirements.
The study plan is structured on a semester basis so that the acquisition of competences and skills progresses through increasing levels of complexity.
The first year focuses on acquiring foundation knowledge and applied techniques for scientific and technological training aimed at understanding the different issues related to the built environment and the interventions on it, including the use of advanced techniques such as Historical Building Information Modelling (H-BIM).
The second year aims, on one hand, to strengthen foundation disciplines and advanced operational technologies applied to the construction sector and, on the other hand, to provide basic training in engineering subjects, taught with particular attention to the technologically advanced and innovative aspects of each of them.
The final year of the Degree Programme focuses on disciplines related to sustainable construction techniques, with particular attention to the fields dealing with interventions in the built and natural environment through innovative technologies and Information and Communication Technologies.
To provide students of Technological and Digital Innovation Engineering for the Built Environment with practical experience in integrating the many advanced technologies relevant to their future professional activity, the programme includes laboratory activities, both disciplinary and interdisciplinary, as well as opportunities for internships with companies applying Information and Communication Technologies and innovative technologies to construction and territorial monitoring.
The share of total workload available to students for individual study or other individual educational activities is defined, in compliance with regulatory limits, in the Programme Regulations of the Degree Programme.
