For the first application of the provisions ex para 1, art. 3, about the courses of study, the University takes the measures listed in para 2, art.13, D.M. 270/04.
The definition of criteria and requirements is fundamental and necessary to the activation of the telematic didactical structures in order to satisfy the educational needs of the users, so that - together with the educational success - the achievement of the final goal and results, that is the acquisition and the certification of the skills and the educational credit, and the achievement of the title of study within the lapse of time established by the course of study can be granted to them.
The Technological platform offers to students, tutors, teachers, administrators, the maximum flexibility and completeness in the management of each activity needed to the delivery of distance courses of study, from the moment of the start up of a course and the storage of the didactical contents, to that of the real delivery of the course, of the students' activity monitoring, to that of the administrative proceeding for enrolment and the request of documents. The system offers not only a choice of organized didactical contents (Learning Content System and Learning Object), and also a series of services aimed at assuring interactivity and participation to the process of teaching and learning.
The system allows a very high level of flexibility and customization of the different courses of study, for all the levels of users (student, teacher, tutor), and it has as its aim the creation of en environment of collaborative and "social" learning thanks to the tools of communication and the implemented system of management of groups of students.
The educational activities and the related didactical supporting materials , their usability and the technological structures of the platform are synthesized as follows:
Content Aggregation System
This is the system of meta-dating, aggregation and packaging of the courses which will be delivered. Based on international standard SCORM 1.2 specifications, and designed with graphic interfaces which allow their use to not highly computer-literate users, the system makes it possible to list, meta-date, manage, group and indexing the different Learning Objects according to paths established by the didactical committees, independently from the kind and format of these Objects (text, images, MS Office documents, Adobe PDF documents, animations, audio or video materials, etc). Besides of allowing the creation of "didactical units" made up of several Learning Objects, and as a consequence also of entire courses made up of several didactical units, the use of (XML) descriptive languages and of (SCORM) shared dictionaries makes possible to re-use the didactical units, and also separate Learning Objects at a minimum level of granularity, both inside the platform itself (re-usability) and on third platforms designed according to the international standards (interoperability).
This is the module aimed at the delivery of the courses according to the rules (data model) centered on separate lessons and separate courses in the phase of packaging and authoring which also allows the management and the control of the didactical-educational activity on the single students, on the study planning, on the didactic schedules, by teachers and tutors.
This module offers the student the possibility of tailoring his/her study: on one side, this offers flexibility and a continuous customization according to the choices of each single student; on the other side, it shows an adaptive capacity as far as the real timing, modalities, styles of usability of the delivered material by any single student are concerned.
Thanks to the tracebility of the activities of each single student and of the classes for students that will be organized, Tutors and Teachers will be able to follow and update their didactical curriculum, to control the timing of access to the platform and to the separate materials, managing evaluation and self-evaluation in itinere of the progress achieved, and having at their disposal analysis report of the real participation to the group activities programmed.
This module is aimed at "translating" the inputs coming from LCMS so that they can be used through the web. A great attention has been paid to matters of usability: the generated code is validated according to the W3C standard, while contents and representation of the same are managed separately through style formats optimized according to the tool used (personal computer, web TV, mobile phone, printed formats). More advanced multimedia contents are published in various versions, in order to reach the possibly greatest basin of users.
The accessibility to the platform for disadvantaged categories of users is granted through the implementation of W3C (WCAG, WAI guidelines) specifications on the delivery of web services for disabled people, and in compliance with the guidelines and the recommendations of the European Union and the national provisions.
For the creation of a social context on the web, and to stimulate students towards modalities of collaborative learning, a great attention has been given to the systems of communication offered. The organization of Chat (also audio and video) and Forum allows both a free exchange student/student in dedicated environments, and the creation of thematic rooms that can be managed by tutors and teachers, through systems of moderation, and automatic tools for the quantitative analysis of the interactions of each single student in the various environments. Tutors and teachers are also given the possibility of recording evaluations on the quality of the interactions of each single student and of classes of students, and not only their quantity. Further tools made available are a personal system of Weblog, and a system of web instant messaging among the online users.
The virtual class is realized through systems of video-communication through videoconference links, and video-chats. The virtual class allows the sharing of applications, shared whiteboard, didactical interaction Tutor/Teacher, supply of tests, in itinere evaluation of the learning process. With the activation of the online Agenda, Tutors and Teachers can plan meeting of support, integrative seminars, synchronic sessions of verification, all the online activities are recorded on web so that they can be made available to all the students and can enrich the available Learning Object heritage.
Ways of tutoring
Through the systems of communication implemented, the environment "Virtual class" and the administration of the Online Agenda, the Tutor / Teacher has the possibility of following up the students showing periodically the contents to be studied more in depth to respect the expiry dates shown at the beginning of the course; of proposing and evaluating online papers /tests/ exams both synchronic and asynchronic scheduled in the agenda.
Apart from following the student in his/her educational path, Tutors and Teachers are given the possibility of creating and managing groups of students, in order to allow a work with "classes". The system manages the "class" giving an online calendar-agenda taking note of dates and works to be done, of a final working area and exchange files to manage group projects, chats, forums and video-chats of the different classes.
Online administrative activity
This module allows the student to enrol fully online, even paying the enrolment fees, in full security due to the adoption of the security protocols for online transactions and the "coding" of the personal data. The system allows to store, download and print files on the academic career of each single student, make requests to the secretariat, enrol into an examination, record, evaluate and approve customized variations to the study programmes.
The platform is organized upon a computer-based network devoted each to a single specific service, according to an architecture that promotes the redundancy of servers to prevent any possible failure of the system. Other services, such as the storage of didactical material (Learning Object Repository), the supply of information through the web, the supply of video on request, the management of economical transfers and of confidential data are managed on different hardware. A system of management of the band fully scalable grants immediate answers, canceling the risks of failure on confidential operations, and adapting itself to the tremendous amount of requests arriving to the server at the same time.
The recruitment of the permanent teaching and researching staff takes place through the Academic Senate on the ground of a triennial programming approved by the Governing Board, and is regulated in compliance with the Law 3 July 1998, n.210 and its following integrations and modifications.
The relationships with the teaching and researching staff is regulated according to the ministerial decree n. 242 of 21st May 1998 and its following integrations and modifications.

The Students are granted, consequently to the evaluation of their progress, the maximum of the educational credit indicated for each academic year in the rules and didactic regulations, as well as the possibility of extending it to a subsequent and non limited period of time.
Faculties, in pursuing their institutional objectives, schedule and coordinate the didactic activities and the multimedia didactical supports usable at distance in order to:
Grant the student the quality of didactics, an updated cultural education and a professional training adequate to the needs of the society and the labour world;
Favour the achievement of the titles of study within the timing schedule foreseen in the Regulations, the Charter of Services and the Contract signed by the students when enrolling;
Assure the sustainability by the Student of the total charge of the programmed activity scheduled for each didactic period and its related rhythms of work;
Eliminate the particular difficulties met by the students during the first period of their university studies;
Favour the cognitive development using mainly modalities of open and self-study apt to the professional training, also continuous and permanent, of the users, and especially of the users/workers and of differently able users.
In order to adequately support the students who have failed to complete their course within the prescribed time, and those who particularly need activities integrating the distance ones provided, the Councils of Faculty organise didactical activities reserved to them, for all legal purposes ex art. 14, paras 1-3, of the Law 2 December 1991 n. 390, through intensive or integrative courses. These courses are held by teachers, researchers or tutors of the discipline interested.
Art. 13 - Delivery mode and schedule of the lessons
The Schedule of the lessons is proposed by the Faculties, following the indications in art. 12 of the present Rules. The publication of the Schedule and its possible subsequent modifications are made known through the Internet site and/or through telematic communication (via e- mail, sms, other ways).
The supply of lessons of each course will be delivered in two different ways:
The programme schedule of the TV satellite channels RAI SAT 1 and RAI SAT 2, broadcast also through the Internet portal through the open-sky platform whose schedule is publicized each time on the Internet site of the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO ";
The virtual class on the web, whose schedule is determined according to the online requests by the users, further to authorisation to access by the teacher involved in the specific teaching.
Within one month after the beginning of the lessons, the faculties make public on the Internet site the schedule of the progress evaluation tests of the entire year, and face-to-face monthly exam sessions are also scheduled.
Each single teacher and tutor in charge of a discipline can schedule intermediate tests with synchronic and a-synchronic modalities, and coherently with the scheduled date for the final test which will take place face to face.
The schedule of the test for the achievement of the academic title or any other final test is determined by the Faculty.
Faculties establish the duration of the courses of study in paras 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, art. 3 DM 270/04 as far as the number of university education credits assigned to them.
Where this is foreseen by the concerned Didactic Regulations, teaching can be articulated into didactic modules thought as fully organized sections of courses of teaching articulated or integrated, or whose contents are common to various disciplines.
The modalities for conferring temporary appointments for study courses are established by the Faculties in compliance with the current regulations, after having consulted the didactic and the coordination structures, safeguarding the rights of the teaching and researching staff.
The programme of each course, usually including the summary of the subjects and - indicatively - of the hours devoted to the treatment of each single subject, is prepared by the teacher or, in the case of those courses divided into modules, in a coordinated way by the respective teachers.
Art. 16 - Course of scientific specialization, lifelong higher education, vocational re-training *
The International Telematic University can establish courses of specialization, permanent and lifelong higher education and master courses, independently from their denomination, also in collaboration with other public or private institutions or with other Italian or foreign universities, in compliance with para 9, art. 3 DM 270 of 2004.
The possession of the title of a degree allows the access to first-level master courses, while the specialist degree allows the access to second-level master courses.
In order to be admitted to the final tests of the courses of study, students must have obtained at least 60 education credits, further to those required for the achievement of the first or second-level degree.
The Faculties establish the criteria according to which the mutual use of teaching courses or modules from among the various courses of study is possible.
Art. 18 - Programmes of study
The Faculties establish the curricula offered to the student, in compliance with the structure of the courses of study implemented, in coherence with the objectives and the educational activities qualifying the classes, according to art. 10 of DM 270/04.
The modalities of presentation of the individual and customized programmes of study, when needed, intensive courses or integrative courses, after the favourable advise of the Council of Faculty and in proportion to the available economic needs, must be decided by each single teacher of the discipline involved, in collaboration with the tutor of the same discipline and the didactic manager.
Enrolment in the first and the following years usually takes place between the 1st August and the 30th December of each year, or also with a different deadline according to binding rules of the State or to the Didactic Rules of the single course of study
The enrolment at the same time in more than one course of study implying the achievement of an academic title is not allowed.
The student that has been declared having forfeited his rights is allowed to enrol again in whatever course of degree or teachers' degree. The recognition of the credits obtained during the previous university career is given by the Faculties, after having verified that they are not obsolete.
The admission to the courses of study and, during the subsequent years, the chronological order to be followed for evaluating the progress, are ruled by the Didactic Regulations in the full respect of the State regulations.
By the 30th May of each year the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO " makes known the educational offer of the new academic year. The Internet Site is the main tool for communicating and disseminating the courses offered to the students.
The Student can ask the Faculty the direct transfer from a course of study to another within the courses started up by the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO " in the same class, or in the group of similar classes. In the case of a transfer to a different class, the request must be addressed to the Rector.
The request of transfer from other Universities is addressed to the Rector within the deadline for the enrolment.
The Faculty is in charge of starting the procedure for the student, also in order to recognize his/her certifications and skills. The preliminary proceedings are proposed to the Faculty involved by the student for the validation and the acceptance of the transfer.
The request of transfer to other universities can be addressed to the rector by the 30th September of each year for the following Academic Year. The answer to the request is given to the applicant within 30 days from the submission of the application.
Art. 22 - Recognition of the University Educational Credits (UEC)
The Academic Senate, considering para 7, art 5 of DM 270/04, establishes the criteria for the recognition of the University Educational Credit entering or going out of the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO ", the ways of participation of the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO " into post-secondary school institutions where it is invited to concur to the recognition of the credit in object. In the purposes of and in compliance with para 7, art. 5 of DM 270/04, the Senate establishes the criteria for the recognition of the UEC (the University Educational Credit) for the specific and professional skills of the student-workers.
The recognition of the University Educational Credit, and of the studies carried on abroad and their related credits are of the competence of the Council of Faculty, which makes use of the Didactic - Scientific Commission to process incoming and outgoing dossiers. In case the recognition is required in the context of a program which has adopted a system of transfer of the Credits (ECTS), the recognition takes into account the credits assigned for the courses attended abroad.
The students enrolled to the "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO " can carry on part of their studies at universities or other equivalent institutions at the university level of countries of the European Union and also not belonging to the Union, on the ground of a agreement previously signed by the Parties in the full respect of the laws in force.
Art. 23 - Commission for the evaluation of the results, of the qualification, and Commissions of the tests for the achievement of the academic title
The Commission for the evaluation of the learning progress, proposed by the teacher in charge for a specific course, chaired by himself, is made up of another member chosen from among the teachers of the same class or group of similar classes (Professor, researcher, or contract professor) and of the Tutor of the discipline. The commission is appointed by the Faculty.
For serious and proved reasons, in the absence of the teacher in charge of the teaching, the Council of Class can appoint temporarily a substitute of the President of the Commission, usually chosen from among the teachers of similar disciplines.
In the assessment of his progress, if the student has achieved a mark sufficient to pass the test but that he/she does not consider it satisfying, he/she can ask through an application to the Faculty to be admitted to pass the test again, substituting the mark with the better one obtained. This right can be exercised no more than two times during the university career of the student.
Art. 24 - Evaluation of the results and university educational credits. Modalities for assessing the results.
The Didactic Rules of each course of study identify forms and proceedings for the evaluation of the progress in learning and the assignment of the University Education Credits to the students.
The tests for the evaluation of the progress in learning can be preceded by spoken or written tests, related to homogeneous sections of the program, which must take place so that they do not overlap with the normal development of the didactic activities. These intermediate tests can be delivered and carried out at distance. Failures in these partial tests do not prevent the admission to the final test of evaluation of the learning progress that must take place exclusively face to face.
The evaluation of the progress in learning is expressed with a maximum of 30/30; the minimum mark to pass a test is 18/30; the bestowal of the "honours" requires the mark of 30/30 and is decided by the Commission with unanimous vote.
At the end of the test of evaluation, the result is recorded electronically and undersigned with digital signature, certified according to the requirements of the law, by all the members of the commission on the personal electronic record book of the student who, habilitating the access to the Commission to his own record book, as a consequence accepts automatically the evaluation and the related quantity of University Educational Credit.
The evaluations of the progress in the learning if not concluded, or that have been considered not satisfying by the student, or with a non positive result, do not imply the delivery of a mark, but they are registered in the records with the note "the student has given up", or "rejected"; the latter, results in the university career of the student.
The study courses end with a final face-to-face test, whose nature and modes are established by the Academic Senate, within each didactic path and in conformity with the level and the legal duration of each course and with courses that are uniform as it regards study course and class specifications.
The preparation work for the final test is made at distance and is supervised by a professor who is interested in the subject and in cooperation with the tutor in charge of that discipline.
As it regards graduation, the professor mentioned in the paragraph 2 above, takes on the task of supervisor; in this case the supervisor can be aided by a co-supervisor, during the entire preparation phase. For the purpose of the discussion of graduation thesis, the Academic Senate, beside a supervisor and co-supervisor, appoints one or more examiners who have not taken part in the preparation of the work.
The faculty has to see that the responsibility of the final tests be fairly shared among professors and each student be preferably assigned the work in the discipline proposed or, if possible, requested by him.
At the end of the discussion the Commission decides behind closed doors the final grade, which is based upon the assessment of the following elements, listed in order of importance: work submitted, discussion and student's curriculum. The final grade is assigned according to the parameters established by the faculty.
Grades are expressed in one hundredth and ten for the final test. The graduation test is considered passed with at least a six-tenths grade. In case of top grade, the Commission can assign the honours; and when the test reaches excellency and originality levels, it can be conceded the dignity of getting into the print.
The academic titles can be conferred by the Rector, considering the deeds of the student's university carrier.
Agreements with other Universities, both Italian or foreign ones, can regulate the conferring of the academic titles in conformity with the laws in force.
The diploma certifying the graduation is integrated by an additional certificate that includes the main information related to the student's university carrier, for all legal purposes provided for by art. 11, para. 8, of D.M. 270/04.
The "International Telematic University UNINETTUNO ", also in cooperation with other Bodies and public and private parties, sees to the delivery of the following services:
Guidance at university and vocational level;
Preparation and dissemination of information related to the university study paths, on service delivery and on the benefits for the students, also through the use of computer-based and telematic tools.
Faculties, through their on deliberations, approved by the Board of Directors, by previous and compulsory agreement by the Academic Senate, and in compliance with laws in force, can establish:
Courses to prepare for the state exams to qualify for practicing specific professions and for competitive state exams;
Continuing education courses and educational and cultural activities addressed to the citizens;
Specialization and re-training courses..
A specific University service coordinates the orientation activities addressed to the students enrolled in the high school institutions. An agreement with the relevant school authorities provides for and regulates the cooperation with those institutions in orienting their students.
The University orientation service cooperates with the local boards and professional associations, also thanks to special agreements, to facilitate the students' access to the job market at the end of their study courses.
The faculty establishes every year the tutoring activities and communicates it by the Charter of Services and by its educational offer. Activities are carried out by a Tutor, expert in the discipline, one for every 30 students
The functioning of the tutoring service is regulated also in differentiated way according to the changing needs of the users and according to the difficulty-level of each teaching course that they tutor.
The tutoring service can be delivered, unless provided by the rules of the didactic structures, according the following forms:
Tutoring in a specific discipline, compulsorily activated, to facilitate the learning process (acquisition of method, more in depth studies of complex issues, inter-disciplinary links, and the like), to put in evidence problems encountered by the students and urge their solutions; it also supplies support in choosing the optional subjects and in choosing the theme of the graduation thesis or of the final work;
Logistical-organisational tutoring and to help in the use of the web to facilitate the attendance on the part of the students of the virtual environments devoted to them;
Support tutoring for the delivery of individual teaching courses, in particular those of the first year or those that are propaedeutical to other ones, whose complexity level requires constant attendance in the virtual class-room and in forums that are moderated in such a way as to stimulate collaborative and autonomous learning.
For each study faculty that is activated, the Dean can ask the same faculty to start research activities, which should be strictly connected and consistent with its own class or rather grouping similar classes.
The starting-up of the research is dependent on the availability of financial, human and instrumental resources needed to attain the objectives and the results of the research itself. To start these activities it is necessary to submit an operational plan and a detailed business plan.
The internationalisation of scientific and technological research and the recourse to distance networks to carry it on have a priority compared with the national and face-to-face ones.
The "International Telematic University Uninettuno" can award grants for collaborations in research activities in conformity with para. 6 of art. 51 of the law of 27 December 1997 n. 449 and with the decree of MURST of 11 February 1998, that have to be taken into consideration as it regards what is not explicitly regulated by the present Rules.
These grants are aimed at allowing qualified youths to participate in research activities that were pre-planned and already financed, deriving also from agreements with third parties, at "Uninettuno's " facilities. These grants do not assure rights to be included among the tenured staff of "Uninettuno ".
The introduction of the grants mentioned in the present Rules can be totally paid by funds that are apart from those included into the balance sheet of the Telematic University, even deriving from contracts with public or private boards, as well as be paid by single research programmes.
In the framework of the present Rules, every year the Academic Senate, upon approval of the project, fixes the modes and criteria for the introduction of the research grants.
The research grant can last one year at least and can be allocated for multiples of one year by direct appointment of the task.
The amount of the grants is decided by the Board of Directors.
Research doctors or graduates since two years at least (university degree as established by the previous didactic regulations or specialisation university degree as established by the new rules), having also an scientific and professional curriculum suited to carry on the research activity, can be awarded grants. Also foreign graduates whose university degree is acknowledged as equivalent for selection on the part of the Academic Senate can be awarded research grants.
The duties of those who are entitled to the grants mentioned in the present Rules are established by the project agreement signed by the person who is entitled to the grant and by the Coordinator, according to the rules in force.
The person who is entitled to the grant has to take out a personal accident insurance policy and submit a copy of it to the Administration. The International Telematic University provides for an insurance cover for third party liability.
In conformity with article 51, para. 6 of the law 449/97 it is not allowed to cumulate a research grant and a study grant, awarded at any title, except those awarded by national or foreign institutions needed to integrate with travels abroad the research activity of the people who receive these grants. The tasks of the people entitled to research grants, regulated by a personal contract, are performed under the supervision of a Coordinator of the class or of the project, who shall check the activity carried on.
The Academic Senate can appoint as persons responsible for didactic modules people who were awarded with research grants who already have a research appointment or have already carried on proved activities in support of course didactics for at least three academic years during their work in the scientific-disciplinary sectors related to the research project or similar, upon approval by the involved people and by the people responsible for the research programmes and in compliance with the laws in force.
The person entitled to a research grant that wants to withdraw from the contract has to notify it to the Coordinator by at least 30 days notice: in this case the person entitled to the grant shall be paid until the date of withdrawal; on the contrary, the Administration will retain the corresponding share for want of notice.
The contract shall be terminated in case of serious and significance non performance as provided by the rules of the civil law on the part of the person entitled to the grant, after notice of the Coordinator or of the person responsible for the research.
The Dean is the person responsible for coordinating study courses implemented within a faculty and for executing the deliberations of the Council of the Faculty; the professor in charge of a teaching subject is responsible for it; the presidents of the commissions are responsible for the exams in a discipline and for the graduation exams; the Dean himself is responsible for the execution of a research programme.
An Evaluation Team sees to the assessment of the didactic activities carried out with regard to the appropriateness of the tools employed to the aims pursued.
This same Evaluation Team sees to the collection and preparation of an assessment of the didactic activities performed by the students.
The deliberations of the collective bodies, the rules, the deeds that start up proceedings are published on the notice board of the International Telematic University and on the notice board of the structures they refer to and are also available on the website of "UNINETTUNO ".
Art. 35 - Joint Committee for Didactics
In compliance with art. 12 para. 3 of D.M. 270/04 a Joint Committee for Didactics is established having the task of assessing the consistency of the allocated credits to the different educational activities and to the study course specific objectives.

Class 08:
University degrees in civil and environmental engineering
Civil Engineering deals namely with civil constructions and infrastructures. The first ones include buildings, civil constructions involved in industrial buildings and big works such as bridges, viaducts, galleries, dams etc The latter ones deal with road network infrastructures (roads, railways, airports and modal exchange junctions) and hydraulic infrastructures (aqueducts, lifting equipment and water distribution networks, sewerage systems, coastal works, hydraulic defence works). Furthermore, Civil Engineering faces specific interdisciplinary issues aimed at solving some problems related to planning, operation and functioning of transportation networks present on the territory.
The Civil Engineer is responsible for both the design and the activities related to the realisation and management- during the operational phase- of works and infrastructures, in order to assure their functionality and safety. The training of university graduate in Civil Engineering is based upon an adequate knowledge of the contents of basic sciences and engineering (theoretical and applied), paying particular attention to those having an impact from a civil viewpoint: Science and Techniques of Constructions, Geotechnics, Hydraulics and Hydraulic Works, Road Networks Infrastructures and Transportations. Other basic engineering disciplines (Technical Architecture, Design, Electrotechnics, Technical Physics and Topography), besides vocational disciplines (economic and legal-evaluative) complete his training. The choice of a fully fledged didactic offer, during a three-year period, largely involving all those sectors that traditionally characterise the Civil Engineer, guarantees the training of a professional profile able to identify, analyse and solve typical problems occurring in Civil Engineering, thus guaranteeing at the same time the possibility of further in-depth studies and specialisation programs needed to face complex and system-based problems.
At the end of the three-year period, the University Degree course in Civil Engineering assures the obtainment of a University Degree following a unified education path.
This path allows to access, with no educational debits, all Specialising University Degrees in Civil Engineering. It offers a training based on the scientific rigueur of the physical-mathematic disciplines, on the theoretical principles of the engineering sciences and the methodological approach of the applied engineering disciplines characterising the entire civil sector. The title is undifferentiated.
The strong presence of disciplines applicable to the design phase, besides the acquisition of specific professional knowledge, allow the engineer to obtain skills which are directly “usable” in the labour market, both in the self-employment sector and in the recruitment of technical profiles (executives or managerial staff) in the production structures or in the Public Administration. In fact, the envisaged design applications offer the opportunity to assimilate concepts and develop relational and decision-making skills. The type of envisaged training, widely aimed at guaranteeing the graduate an adequate mastery of the general scientific methods and contents is well-suited for continuing the study cycle to get a specialising university degree, with no training debits; in any case it supplies the skills for an easy and effective learning through individual study or other training activities (university masters, continuing education, etc.). The study course can also be formulated according to further curricula, that, within the envisaged training objectives, allow for a diversified professional training. The University Degree in Civil Engineering aims at training professional profiles able to:
Translate the basic theoretical principles of the different disciplines in professional applications related to their competence field, using methods, techniques and tools that are suited to the specific situations;
Face and solve, in common situations, problems linked to design, realisation and management of civil works and infrastructures;
Know and being able to use criteria linked to safety, operativeness, socio-economic and environmental impact in the design and execution of the civil works and infrastructures related to the competence field;
Identify the basic problems of the transportation system as it regards the mutual interaction between supply and demand;

Have a knowledge of the business environment and the company culture as it regards its economic, managerial and organisational aspects;
Get decision-making and relational skills;
Have basic tools to continuously update one’s own knowledge.
Skills required for the admission (art.6 D.M. 509/99)
In order to be admitted to the University Degrees in Engineering, in general, the students should possess the following qualifications:
Basic scientific knowledge;
Oral comprehension skills;
Aptitude towards a methodological approach.
The importance of the last two points is to be particularly highlighted (oral comprehension skills, aptitude to a method-based approach), also compared to the basic scientific skills. The lack of acquisition of some basic scientific notions during the school period- due to their absence in the study programmes- is not an obstacle for the admission to the engineering study courses, particularly when the oral comprehension skills and aptitudes towards a methodological approach are good; whereas the fact that they had already been acquired does not eliminate the need for a more detailed and careful study.
However, the essential qualification for the student’ admission to the University Degree Courses in Engineering is the basic knowledge of specific subjects, namely maths. The assessment of the students’ qualifications, to be admitted to the University Degree courses, should have the lack or presence of this qualification as discriminating factor.
Specifications of the final exam
The final exam will consist in the preparation of a short paper dealing with one of the disciplines followed by the student or a project consistent with the candidate’s professional activity that will be assessed by a commission composed of 5 professors.

Class 09:
Class of the university degree courses in information engineering
The computer science engineer knows the functioning of complex systems characterising both the information society and the operational and design principles and paradigms of systems for the processing of information. He can therefore assess the impact of the proposed solutions from an economic and social viewpoint.
Computer science engineer has deep methodological and practical skills. Therefore, he owns the basic knowledge tools for an ongoing updating, also through individual commitment, and can contribute to the design of innovative solutions thus assessing and solving problems that might be encountered during the implementation of information systems. In addition, he masters basic sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) and engineering sciences, thus being able to interact with specialists of every field of engineering as well as economic-managerial area, namely other professional profiles of the information science sector.
The Degree in Computer Science Engineering aims at supplying the following professional skills:
Capability to define the specifications of a project and coordinate the realisation of the applications that make use of consolidated information methodologies and tools;
Capability to design and develop dedicated applications, also in cooperation with other professional profiles;
Capability to manage and maintain information application identifying, scaling or managing architectures and plants using consolidated technologies;
Capacity to interact during the design, development and maintenance of decision-making support systems, also in cooperation with other professional profiles;
Capability to implement technological innovations, in the sector of Information Engineering, to train staff, participate in R&D groups in the information industry and contribute to basic training in the information sector.
This curriculum is based upon the belief that, in order to train a good computer science engineer, it is necessary to acquire a good basic cultural background and a good knowledge of the engineering disciplines, specific computer science knowledge and an appropriate practice activity.
A basic cultural background and a knowledge of the engineering disciplines, rather than a sophisticated specialisation in rapidly-obsolescing technologies and applications, allows to get used to the fast-changing technological evolution. Essential knowledge on engineering disciplines should mainly focus on the information, electronic, telecommunications, automatics fields that are today the “basic engineering” such as applied mechanics and thermodynamics. To acquire a suitable experience in the use of information tools, what is envisaged is the acquisition of an appropriate number of educational credits to be acquired in laboratory sessions, computer science courses and with specific project activities. In particular, to get a university degree it is necessary to attend two “project” modules in the computer science sector. Further practice work will be carried out during the apprenticeship period and while preparing for the final exam.
The student who intends to successfully attend this University Degree course should have a skill-level that assures his ability to understand texts and re-formulate the relative content; the capability to make abstractions and the aptitude to a methodological approach as well as basic scientific knowledge with particular reference to the following mathematical subjects: numerical structures, arithmetic, logarithms and their proprieties, elementary algebra, equations and inequalities, Euclidean geometry, proprieties of the plane figures, Cartesian coordinates, trigonometry, successions and functions; arithmetical and geometrical progressions, proprieties of some elementary functions (powers, logarithms, exponential, trigonometric functions).
The final exam will consist in the preparation of a short paper dealing with one of the disciplines attended by the student or in a project consistent with the candidate’s professional activity that will be assessed by a commission composed of 5 professors..
Employment sectors for the graduates
The profession of the computer science engineering has great importance at social level and a significant economic-industrial impact. The professional opportunities for the computer science engineer are represented by companies, agencies and boards (public administration, finance, industry, commerce etc.) that supply services using systems to process information, that make use of information products in production processes or that realise products that include information components.

University degrees in industrial engineering
Management Engineering is involved in solving problems of technical, economic, management and organisational nature related to the production and use of goods and/or services using problem-solving methods and capabilities typical of engineering. In carrying out his activity, the management engineer uses quantitative tools, decision-making support systems and methodological accuracy typical of the engineering sciences aiming at getting to optimising solutions. The engineering perspective and method applied to management and organisation problems allow to get higher levels of efficiency and effectiveness of the solutions, contribute to a better understanding of the companies events, facilitate the identification and control of the main decision-making variables of the company processes, lay the foundations for a continuous enhancement of the company results on measurable parameters and, at last, allow the creation of well-structured relationships among the different company functions and companies
The training of a management engineer is based on a solid basic training on disciplines such as mathematics, physics, economics, statistics, operational research, computer science and on design skills taken from the main engineering disciplines. Among these, the disciplines related to the sectors of technologies linked to production, industrial plants and economic-management engineering play a significant role.
The management engineer should be aware of the economic contexts where companies operate and of the risks/opportunities deriving from phenomena related to competitiveness among companies. He should know about the main industrial processes in order to profitably interact with specialists in different company sectors. He should possess the capacity to interpret technological innovation processes and be aware of their role as it regards the company competitiveness positioning. Finally, he should be aware of the fact that the customer/user, making his own choices, determines the success of product/service.
The study course can be structured in further curricula that, in the framework of the above-listed training objectives, allow for a varied professional training. The educational objectives of the University Degree in Management Engineering are targeted to solve the following problems:
Management and control of the logistic and production processes;
Management of quality, security and environmental factors;
Evaluation of the interaction between technical and economic management of the company;
Management of technological innovation with a view at enhancing the company competitiveness;
Analysis of management variables such as cost, time and quality.
The importance of the last two points is to be particularly stressed (oral comprehension skills, aptitude to a methodological approach), also as it regards basic scientific skills. The lack of acquisition of some basic scientific notions during the school period- due to their absence in the study programmes- is not an obstacle for the admission to the engineering study courses, particularly when the oral comprehension skills and aptitudes towards a methodological approach are good; whereas the fact that they had already been acquired does not eliminate the need for a more detailed and careful study.
The final exam will consist in the preparation of a short paper dealing with one of the disciplines followed by the student or in a project consistent with the candidate’s professional activity that will be assessed by a commission composed of 5 professors.
The professional opportunities expected from the University Degree in Management Engineering are the following ones:
Programming and control of production and of the logistic processes;
Engineering of product and management of the production systems;
Management of quality, security and of the environmental factors;
Industrial accountancy, auditing and analysis of the investments;
