The proposed course aims to provide skills necessary to:master the tools of basic sciences (mathematics, probability, statistics, physics and chemistry) in order to describe and interpret engineering problems, even complex ones;
possess in-depth knowledge of the basic and applicative aspects of engineering in general and of safety, both concerning construction sites, works and infrastructures and processes and production plants, and be able to apply them also within the ambit of an interdisciplinary approach;
evaluate, address and resolve the safety issues of construction sites, works, infrastructures, processes and plants, with regard to both the workers and the exposed population and the environment, taking into account the technical, economic, regulatory and ethical aspects;
be able to support specialist technicians in the design phases of various types of works, infrastructures and systems, providing risk analysis in all the design and construction phases, the choice of design and procedural solutions in favor of safety and their practical implementation;
use fluently, in written and oral form, at least one European Union language other than Italian, also with reference to disciplinary lexicons.The master's degree course in Safety Engineering concludes with a planning activity, aimed at demonstrating, in addition to the achievement of specific technical skills, the acquisition of the ability to operate autonomously and to prepare a clear, concise and exhaustive work.
The master's degree in Safety Engineering and Civil Protection is placed in the class of the master's degree in Safety Engineering (LM 26), which constitutes a "transversal" and interdisciplinary area in which the skills required to deal with and solve the various problems of the risk of complex systems.
The training offer includes:knowledge characterizing the degree class, including adequate skills both in the sectors of construction sites, works, infrastructures, services and in the fields of industrial processes and plants, as well as of a legal-economic nature;
related and integrative knowledge, aimed at completing the technical-scientific path with topics typical of other engineering sectors and other cultural fields.A suitable number of credits is foreseen for guided-choice (orientation) training activities, i.e. mainly oriented towards one of the areas characterizing civil, environmental and territorial safety and protection, or industrial, chosen by the student, as well as an adequate number of free choice credits, and for the final exam (degree thesis).
The time commitment available to the student for personal study or for other individual training activities is equal to at least 60% of the total time commitment.
