Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation
Academic year: 2023/2024
Programme duration: 2 years
Eligibility
A Bachelor Degree in Engineering, Architecture or Land Use Planning.
Mission and goals
The programme links the fundamental disciplines of Civil Engineering (design and construction of civil and environmental structures and infrastructures) with a broad overview of the most advanced Risk Management tools, with particular attention to forecasting and prevention issues concerning structures and infrastructures and soil, on which they are built or embedded, due to natural and anthropic causes.
Subjects
1st year
Numerical Methods for Partial Differential Equations, Soil-Structure Interaction, Tools for Risk Management, Flood Risk, Structural Analysis, Fundamentals of Gis.
2nd year
Three modules to be chosen among: Engineering Structures for the Environment, Geo-Engineering Techniques for Unstable Slopes, Emergency Plans for Hydro-Geological Risk, Structure Retrofitting for Seismic and Exceptional Loads, Transport Management in Emergency Planning, Hazards form Industrial Sites: Process Analysis and Risk Assessment.
The final project is devoted to the solution of a field case.
Career opportunities
The graduate in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation deals with the design of structures and infrastructures, planning, control and management of town and land systems, evaluation of the environmental impact of structures and infrastructures as well as research in public and private institutes. He/she can therefore find employment with construction companies, design and consultancy companies and has access to Public Administration offices.
