Bachelors Degree in Sustainable Building Engineering

L 23 Class - Science and Techniques of Constructions

Studies Program 2018/2019


Specific learning targets
The Degree (first cycle – 180 ects) Sustainable Building Engineering aims to familiarise students with the knowledge and skills which provide a sustainable future both for existing buildings and for those they will design and build. Achieving sustainable development continues to be among the major global issues of our era. The main purpose of this degree is to update traditional,, world-renowned, Italian civil and architectural engineering skills, with a particular focus on environmental protection and especially sustainable development. This degree is also open to foreign students and particularly those countries where Italian building and environmental engineering consultants or companies have designed and built major private and public buildings.
To achieve this target, the Degree will ensure the acquisition of top scientific and technological content, and the ability to design, plan and manage solutions for the many and complex situations in terms of sustainable architecture, built environment sustainability of territories, through the application of the following principles:
Lower energy demand and consumption by existing and new buildings
Exploit climate and natural resources to develop passive design strategies and sustainable architecture
Reuse or recycle building components and materials
Extend the lifetime of products and buildings
Risk-free return of materials to the natural cycle
Adopt a sustainable use of the territory and a participatory planning and design
Reduce urban sprawl, promote urban renewal and protection of natural areas

This degree aims to form professionals that are ready to tackle different projects either locally or at an international scale. At the design phase, a sustainable building engineer will be prepared to develop and control sustainable design strategies in architecture and urban planning and during the construction process, will be able to use sustainable and recycled materials, to minimise waste flows and to avoid damage to urban areas or to the natural environment. As a facility manager, he/she will know how to reduce energy demand, how to alternatively use other natural resources, and how to settle new activities in a sustainable manner.
The programme also provides students with the scientific knowledge needed to obtain an appropriate technical and operational training in the fields of Architectural and Environmental Engineering, whose major target is the organization, protection and modification of the built environment and territory for human settlement purposes.
Targets of this course are also the acquisition of analytical skills to recognise, understand,, plan and design under complex environmental conditions. By teaching the multiple activities of management, design, development, production at the different operational scales, that are at the core of the building industry, this course is intended to provide students with the basic knowledge to transform a territory in all its physical, economic, social and morphological aspects, from a sustainable point of view.
The course provides a knowledge of basic subjects, such as physics, mathematics, engineering geology, and building representation, and includes the teaching of application and intervention techniques in multidisciplinary fields of sustainable building engineering, such as urban planning, architectural technology, hydraulics, hydrology, environmental engineering, planning, structural mechanics, structural techniques, geotechnics and road constructions, taught stressing the specific aspects of sustainable development. This will be accompanied by the teaching of the principles of environmental health and of materials technology for sustainable construction. Subsequently the Sustainable Building Engineer can tackle the many complex issues of building engineering, from the initial design to completion with works management, with a special emphasis on environmental protection and environmental risk prevention.
The Degree will also prepare the Degree holder for the Master of Science in Environment and Sustainable Building Engineering (2nd cycle – 120 ects), that provides a more complete and thorough preparation and specific skills in the subject areas required for intervention on the built environment and territory, to recover and protect it.

The portion of the total time available to the student for personal study or other individual learning activities is at least 60% (15 h of self-study for 1 ects).

The Degree course aims to form a professional figure able to operate within the current complex built environment and to modify the territory in a sustainable way, and provides the scientific and technical preparation necessary for appropriate technical and operational training in the fields of Architectural and Environmental Engineering.

Il Corso di laurea intende formare un tecnico dell’edilizia, consapevole delle implicazioni
economiche, sociali e ambientali delle modificazioni operate nel territorio che, in diversi contesti
climatici ed ambientali, nell’insieme, definiscono la base di una concezione sostenibile dell’edilizia.
Un tecnico consapevole del ruolo svolto dal complesso delle attività edilizie nel quadro di una
effettiva tutela e valorizzazione dei caratteri ambientali del territorio, sensibile alla necessità di una
visione sostenibile della sua modificazione, partendo dalla conoscenza approfondita delle sue
qualità e della sua strutturazione sociale, economica e ambientale, basata prioritariamente sul rilievo
dell’esistente, e applicando nei processi di modificazione tecniche e materiali a ridotto impatto
ambientale. Nello specifico percorso formativo, pertanto, mentre hanno una collocazione
appropriata, oltre agli insegnamenti formativi di base, gli insegnamenti caratterizzanti l’ingegneria
edile, integrati a quelli tradizionali dell’ingegneria civile, la sostenibilità ambientale trova una
particolare attenzione nella collocazione di discipline caratterizzanti e affini proprie dell’ingegneria
ambientale, contribuendo a formare un tecnico dell’edilizia, consapevole della dimensione
sostenibile delle modificazioni ambientali che essa opera sul territorio. In questo contesto, gli
obiettivi formativi specifici del corso di laurea tendono a far acquisire allo studente un insieme di
capacità per l’analisi, il riconoscimento, la comprensione e l’intervento nella consapevolezza delle
complesse interrelazioni esistenti tra le molteplici attività di gestione, progettazione, realizzazione,
produzione e le differenze scale operative che compongono il campo proprio del settore edile,
inteso come attività di trasformazione di un territorio negli aspetti fisici, morfologici economici e
sociali, con particolare attenzione all’impatto ed alla sostenibilità degli interventi in progetto. Al
fine di formare una figura professionale capace di operare consapevolmente ed adeguatamente
nell’attuale strutturazione complessa dell’edilizia e della modificazione del territorio, in un’ottica di
sostenibilità, in diversi contesti climatici ed ambientali, e quindi con riferimento a scenari, anche
internazionali, il corso di laurea fornisce agli studenti le conoscenze scientifiche necessarie ad una
appropriata formazione tecnico-operativa nei settori dell’Ingegneria Edile e Ambientale, che hanno
per finalità l’organizzazione, la salvaguardia e la modificazione a fini insediativi, dell’ambiente e
del territorio in cui l’uomo vive. Secondo questa chiave il corso di Laurea in Ingegneria per
l’Edilizia Sostenibile risponde a precise e diffuse esigenze culturali, sociali, economiche di un
settore operativo di notevole importanza, rappresentando la risposta alle richieste di un settore
operativo che richiede conoscenze di elevato contenuto scientifico e tecnologico, capaci di dare
soluzioni progettuali e gestionali ai molteplici e articolati interventi sul territorio e sull’ambiente. Il
percorso formativo, articolato per semestri, si sviluppa in modo che l’acquisizione delle diverse
competenze e abilità siano conseguite secondo una progressione di complessità crescente. Il primo
anno sarà finalizzato all’acquisizione delle conoscenze di base e delle tecniche applicative per una
formazione scientifico-tecnologica finalizzata alla comprensione dell’ambiente costruito e alle
pratiche di intervento su di esso. Il secondo anno sarà finalizzato, da una parte, all’implementazione
delle discipline di base nonché delle tecnologie operative nel campo dell’edilizia e, dall’altra, alla
formazione di base nelle materie ingegneristiche. L’ultimo anno del corso di studio sarà finalizzato
alla formazione nei settori caratterizzanti l’ingegneria per l’Edilizia Sostenibile, con particolare
riguardo agli ambiti formativi applicati all’intervento nell’ambiente costruito e nell’ambiente
naturale Al fine di fornire all’ingegnere per l’Edilizia Sostenibile una esperienza operativa
dell’integrazione tra le molteplici applicazioni in cui le sue competenze potranno operare, il
percorso prevede anche attività di laboratorio, sia disciplinare che interdisciplinare, e possibilità di
stages formativi.
