Corsi di studio dipartimentali

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.

The of Computer Engineering Degree aims at educating professionals with a basic cultural background, a knowledge spanning different areas of engineering, and deep competence in computer science, with the twofold purpose of fostering an effective inclusion in the world of work shortly and to build a solid basis for a following detailed study at upper levels of the education path.

The education profile of the graduate in Computer Engineering is designed for allowing the graduate to be suddenly able to take part to tasks like design,implementation, production, deployment, and maintenance of elaboration systems and networks of computers, software systems, and industry automation systems; supervision and management of organizations and laboratories operating in the area of computer science and enterprise information systems; support tasks to planning, promotion, and sales of software or hardware  products and services along with technical support.

The first year includes the study of the basic disciplines in the area of mathematics, physics, and computer science, organization management, along with the study of English.

The second year includes, beyond the detailed study of computer science, the study of automation engineering, electrotechnics,  electronics and telecommunication.

The third year, beyond a further detailed study of computer science and electronic measures, includes two alternative orientations, one towards the computer engineering while the other one towards automation engineering.

The education curriculum is completed with exams at the student’s choice, and, optionally with an external apprenticeship.

 

 

 

The BSc in Electronic and Biomedical Engineering provides a comprehensive education in Information Engineering, focusing on designing, developing, and managing electronic and biomedical systems.

This programme covers various applications, including consumer electronics, industrial automation, sensors, and biomedical instruments. It offers two specialised curricula:

Biomedical Engineering: Emphasises the design and management of biomedical systems, telemedicine, and precision medicine technologies Electronics (Automation and Sensors - IoT): Focuses on developing electronic systems for ICT, industrial automation, and IoT applications

Students gain practical skills through lab work, preparing them for dynamic careers or further specialised engineering studies.

The Degree in Energy Engineering of the University of Sannio, still unique of its kind in Campania region, has been active since academic year 2001/02, and derives from the transformation of a Diploma activated a year before.
The course deals with the very topical issues related to energy management, and therefore the containment of primary and final energy consumption, the need for greater diffusion of technologies to exploit renewable sources and the containment of polluting emissions. These issues, although widely investigated, are still scarcely diffused in the territory and consequently only partially usable by the community, even if they are deeply felt by the citizens and by the companies that are maturing an awareness of sustainable development.
The design of the Degree Course in Energy Engineering has been directed towards highly interdisciplinary cultural contents, in order to ensure a wide spectrum of professional skills, consistent with the multiplicity of aspects that an energy engineer is called to deal with.
The training course is mainly focused on the cultural contents of the areas that characterize energy engineering related to chemical engineering (Plants and Processes), electrical engineering (Electrotechnics, Measurements and Systems) and obviously energy (Applied Thermodynamics and Machines). The engineering education of the student is completed with the acquisition of elements of the industrial field (Industrial Plants and Mechanical Engineering "sensu side") and cultural contributions typical of basic education (Mathematics, Geometry, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science), as well as of great transversality attributable to the Civil Engineering sector.

The course allows to undertake higher-level studies, such as a Master Degree, or to find satisfying job placements in the industrial sector (energy plants, "production", supply and distribution of energy vectors), civil (plant engineering, energy certification of buildings) and of public and private services (Energy Service Company, energy manager), in relation to the multiple activities of planning, management and use of energy resources in compliance with regulatory, economic and environmental constraints.
The Professors and the Researchers involved in the Degree carry out an intense scientific activity, with the production of scientific publications of national and international relevance. They also operate, often with coordination roles, within transactional research groups, and continuously update their body of knowledge with periods of study and research abroad. They have contributed to the transfer of their knowledge also with a constant interaction with the pertinent territory through the tools of agreements with public and private bodies.
Students and Professors of the Degree Course in Energy Engineering use laboratories located in three building complexes in the historic center of Benevento ("Palazzo ex-INPS", "San Vittorino" and Technical Institute "G. Galilei"), for various activities related to research, thesis preparation and practical exercises dedicated to the three main thematic areas of the course (Chemistry, Electrical and Thermal Engineering).

The Interateneo Master's Degree Course in Civil Engineering was born in 2009 from the transformation of the Course in Civil Engineering activated in 2006, on the basis of a cultural project in agreement with the University of Naples Federico II. This agreement makes it possible to broaden the spectrum of expertise available on teaching and also to make available to students the research facilities (laboratories) of the University of Naples. In this regard, it should be noted that the educational objectives of the degree course are different from those of the master's degrees of the same class activated at the University of Naples, representing for both universities a completion and complementarity. In fact, the degree course activated at the University of Sannio is characterized by a broader-ranging in-depth study in the sphere of the themes proper to civil engineering, while at the Neapolitan university the educational offer is more specific in individual sectors (two different master's degrees for Structures and Geotechnics or for Hydraulic Systems and Transport). This cultural project has gained significant recognition from the social partners interviewed and a high percentage of employment of master's graduates, thanks to the training of very flexible professionals, able to take advantage of job opportunities related to all types of civil engineering works and services. Such versatility is particularly important in times of labor market crisis, in which, on the contrary, excessive specialization and sectorization can be an obstacle. The same consideration applies in the training of coordinating and managerial figures (especially in local authorities and small companies/enterprises), which require a high professional profile but, at the same time, broad enough to handle all the problems that may arise. Since this is a master's degree, however, a slightly more pronounced connotation has been identified in the area of earthquake engineering, in view of the well-known problems of seismic risk present in Italy, both with regard to new constructions and existing buildings and structures. This need is particularly felt in the Samnite territory, which is, as is well known, at high seismic risk.
The training offer proposes, in the first year, the deepening of the methodological-operational tools of mathematics, as well as skills in the field of hydraulic infrastructures, transportation systems and the government of urban and territorial transformations. It also begins the specialization path in earthquake engineering with the dynamics of structures and masonry construction; this path will be completed in the second year with reinforced concrete and steel construction and soil dynamics. Finally, tools are provided to address design and methodological aspects related to building systems, with a view to an energy-sustainable approach in the construction sector.

The Master Degree in Computer Engineering provides the student with an education of advanced level and allows the student to practice a job of upper degree qualification in specific areas. The applications of computer science are in continuous growth and diversification and are going to be characterized by a strong component of research and industrial development. The Master graduate in Computer Engineering is required to have a specific cultural profile in the area of information elaboration systems, with the ability of using knowledge, methodologies, and technologies that are widely consolidated. The education purposes of the Master degree in Computer Engineering is headed to the achievement of a solid basic education, both on methods and technologies of information elaboration systems, that, even if open to further detailed studies in PhD courses and Second Level Master courses, allows the MSC graduate to carry out tasks that require the ability of applying rigorously the scientific method and an interdisciplinary approach. The Master Degree includes the detailed study of engineering disciplines and the completion of the methodologic and technologic knowledge in the area of computer and information engineering. At the end of the study path, the Master graduate in Computer Engineering will have acquired outstanding abilities in developing advanced systems with innovative properties not only in the computer area, but also design abilities in all the areas of Information Engineering.

 

The Master's Degree Program in Electronics Engineering for Automation and Sensing is an internationally offered program that is delivered exclusively in English.
