Descrizione
Since its inception in 2001, the Civil Engineering degree program has always pursued educational objectives consistent with the professional profile, identified based on the needs of the manufacturing industry. This has also been achieved through consultation with the most directly involved stakeholders (professional firms, construction companies, and businesses). The program is designed to train civil engineers with cross-disciplinary skills in the various relevant sectors: geotechnics, structures, hydraulic engineering, road networks and transportation, construction, urban planning, systems, and architectural design. Therefore, civil engineering graduates find employment in design firms and companies engaged in the construction and maintenance of works, buildings, systems, and infrastructure, in the management and supervision of construction sites, in technical-commercial structures, in service companies and organizations, and in public administrations for the planning, management, and control of urban and territorial works and services.
The curriculum offers a single major, structured as follows: the first year covers mathematics, physics, computer science, materials science and technology, and drawing; the second year introduces hydraulics, geotechnics, and building science, as well as transportation, urban planning, and road construction.
Technical physics and climatology of the built environment add green building skills; the third year focuses on applying these skills to basic problems and simple systems, including the design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, foundations, and retaining structures; finally, the major concludes with hydraulic construction.
Teaching is organized into 20 courses. The selection of SSD (specialized subject areas) and credits assigned to the various training activities and the final exam is aimed at achieving the learning objectives described above. The core areas and credits are covered largely by internal teaching staff, ensuring continuity in the teaching. In addition to the departmental facilities common to other degree programs, there are also dedicated laboratories where teaching and advanced research activities are conducted. Internships are also part of the curriculum, and are carried out, in part through specific agreements or memoranda of understanding (e.g., with ANCE), generally at external companies and professional firms.
At the end of the course of study, the graduate can complete his or her education by joining the master's degree programs activated at this university.
Profilo e sbocchi professionali
The professional profile that is intended to be formed is that of an engineer with a good preparation in the various fields of Civil Engineering, capable of inserting himself or herself in operating realities that are very differentiated in size and type, characterized by rapid evolution both from the point of view of technology and work organization.
The graduate, who can acquire the title of junior engineer after passing the state exam, can work as a freelancer or as an employee in public and private entities, using his or her skills in the different fields of Civil Engineering. In particular, he can work alone or in a team as a designer and/or construction manager of simple Civil Engineering works, and as a director of civil and construction sites. He/she can work in public and private entities as a technician with management, management and control functions of civil and building works and infrastructures.
The professional skills acquired in the degree course concern the design and maintenance of simple works in the field of construction, building, plant and infrastructure, and are based on knowledge of the different aspects involved: geotechnical, hydraulic, structural, architectural design, road and transport networks, urban planning and plant engineering. The skills acquired in the degree course include knowledge of a language of the European Union, in addition to Italian, and adequate computer skills that enable the graduate to use the tools currently available and to follow the evolution of technologies in the information sector.
Occupational and professional opportunities are represented by employment in design companies, construction and maintenance companies of civil works, buildings, plants and infrastructures, management and management of construction sites, technical-commercial structures, service companies and agencies, public administrations for urban and infrastructure planning, management and control of urban and territorial works and services.
Requisiti di ammissione
The BSc in Civil Engineering is a non-programmed access course. To be admitted to the Degree Course, it is necessary to possess a five-year high school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable under current laws.
In order to attend, the student must also possess adequate initial preparation. Verification of initial preparation is implemented through an assessment test, delivered by CISIA and organized by the Department of Engineering.
Following the score obtained in the test, the student may have specific additional educational obligations (OFAs) assigned.
The student may register before having completed the OFAs, but must complete them before taking the exams and in any case within the first year of the course. A student who has not successfully passed the orientation test will be able to complete the OFAs through attending a mathematics pre-course, specially organized by the Department, and passing the corresponding examination. The mathematics pre-course consists of 50 hours of teaching activities and takes place before the start of classes in the first semester. Attending the pre-course is also recommended for students without OFAs, who also do not have to participate in the final exam. The exams aimed at passing OFAs can be taken only by students regularly registered in the Courses of Study of the Department of Engineering of the University of Sannio.
Alternatively, the educational debt may be cleared by successfully passing the TOLC-I after the date of matriculation. Students with OFAs cannot take any proficiency exams before having cleared the additional educational debt. Students who have not cleared the educational debt (OFA) by the end of the academic year will have to register for the first year as repeating students.
Modalità prova finale
The final examination consists of the discussion of a dissertation of a compilative, applied, design or experimental nature. The dissertation and its discussion are to be prepared under the guidance of one or more lecturers, at least one of whom pertains to the Department or holds an adjunct or tenure-track teaching position in the degree course.
The final evaluation of the student's career will take into account the evaluations on previous educational activities and the final examination as well as any other relevant elements. The final examination will be discussed in front of a committee of faculty members, possibly supplemented by other professionals who have correlated the work of one of the graduating students.
