Educational objectives – professional opportunities for graduates
The 2nd cycle Degree Course in “Civil Engineering” aims at educating highly qualified professionals capable to deal with complex issues of civil engineering, viz. structural and geotechnical, hydraulic, infrastructural, and transport-related issues.
The first year focuses on advanced classes of core as well as class-related disciplines in order to create a strong interdisciplinary approach .
The second year offers curricula in “Structures and Geotechnique”, “Hydraulics”, and “Road infrastructures and transportation”.
Each curriculum includes classes in computer aided design and computational methods.
The career destinations for the 2nd cycle graduates in Civil Engineering vary according to the specific curriculum chosen.
The graduates in “Structures and Geotechnique” may find a job in the advanced design and control of:
- foundations, support works,
- excavations, surveys and diluted materials dams, drifts and underground works, controlled dumping grounds;
- stabilization of natural slopes;
- modern building structures in concrete, steel and masonry;
- bridge structures;
- actions for territorial seismic protection;
- actions for structural consolidation and restoration.
The course in “Hydraulics” prepares students for a wide variety of careers in the advanced design of hydraulic systems, and namely:
- systems related to the water cycle for civil and production purposes (primary water supply and treatment, transport, stock and distribution, drainage, treatment, discharge and/or recycling of sewage);
- stock and distribution of irrigation water;
- hydraulic protection of the territory;
- maritime hydraulics and actions for coastline defence;
- structural intervention for the protection and reclamation of water basins and for environmental protection against sewage and waste dumping;
- actions for planning, programming and running complex water systems.
Some examples of career destinations for “Road infrastructure and Transportation” students upon their graduation are:
- design, in activities related to the ideation of civil infrastructures;
- construction, as Works managers, Yard managers and Testers;
- management, within companies owning and/or running road infrastructures and transportation companies;
- planning and programming of the whole transportation system and of its components (land, sea and air);
- planning and organisation of transport services in the perspective of modal integration;
- elaboration of interventions as to the road and railroad traffic.
All the above mentioned activities might be carried out in private practice, in companies and in the public administration.
