Objectives
The Master’s Degree in Green Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Development aims to address, through a multidisciplinary approach, the safety-related challenges arising from sustainability objectives in the industrial sector. The program focuses on developing competencies in safety management models, circular management of processes and plants, and the management of technological and process innovation.
Graduates of this Master’s Degree program must:
- understand, interpret, and describe complex systems engineering problems using an interdisciplinary approach;
- possess in-depth theoretical and scientific knowledge of safety engineering as applied to industrial plants, processes, and their interaction with the surrounding environment;
- be able to conceive, plan, design, and manage complex and/or innovative systems, processes, and services with expertise in safety engineering;
- be able to conceive, plan, design, and manage complex and/or innovative systems, processes, and services with particular reference to the ecological transition and decarbonization in energy and resource generation and use;
- be familiar with modern digital and IT tools supporting the design and management of plants and processes;
- possess contextual knowledge and transferable (soft) skills;
- have knowledge in the field of business organization (entrepreneurial culture) and professional ethics;
- be able to use fluently, both in written and oral form, at least one European Union language other than Italian, including discipline-specific terminology.
The Master’s Degree in Green Industrial Engineering for Sustainable Development responds to the growing need to transform the management of production processes, technologies, and resources. In order to ensure development compatible with sustainability and industrial safety, this transformation requires new approaches to design and planning, new management and organizational systems, new monitoring techniques, and new products and services characterized by a high degree of interconnection within a circular economy framework.
The competencies required to support this transformation are centered on the ability to synthesize and reconcile sustainability and safety objectives, to identify innovative technical and technological solutions, and to demonstrate aptitude for teamwork and interdisciplinary problem solving.
The study plan includes:
- Core disciplinary knowledge, providing solid competencies in materials and safety, as well as in industrial processes and plants, alongside legal and economic skills. In particular, the program includes foundational training with in-depth study of regulatory and economic topics, machine learning, and systems safety applied to eco-design of materials and eco-management of industrial plants;
- Related and complementary knowledge, aimed at completing the technical-scientific education with topics typical of other engineering sectors and contributions drawn from other cultural and disciplinary fields.
The program is structured to allow differentiation into specialized tracks focused on green technologies and process sustainability, with particular attention to environmental safety issues.
