Each specialist track allows you to choose between a pathway on energy/nuclear engineering, focused on thematic courses, and a more multidisciplinary pathway, aimed at acquiring more transversal skills:
This curriculum, English-taught, focuses on renewable energy systems and seeks to teach you the skills and tools for calculating, designing and managing components, plants and systems that allow the exploitation of renewable energy sources, also in combination with fossil fuels.
In Year 1, you will study thermal machines, solar photovoltaic systems, design methods and optimization, storage systems and technologies for solar thermal energy. In Year 2, you will learn about energy networks, wind, wave and tidal power plants, innovative energy systems, polygeneration systems and smart electricity systems
Each specialist track offers two possible pathways: the traditional pathway examines in depth the disciplines that characterize it, while the other specialist pathway provides students with the multidisciplinary skills that are required for each curriculum. Attending the Renewable energy systems track you will study the Monte Carlo methods and aspects of safety and risk analysis, advanced materials for nuclear applications and fusion power plants;
This specialist track, Italian-taught, teaches you the skills and tools for calculating, designing and managing components, plants and systems for indoor climate control in buildings and for energy recovery in industrial plants. Moreover, you will learn how to calculate the energy demand and identify the measures for a rational use of energy in the various production sectors, in civil and industrial fields.
In Year 1, you will examine thermal machines, design methods and optimization, electrical systems, energy efficiency and environmental comfort in buildings, energy applications of materials. In Year 2, you will learn about safety and risk analysis, design of thermo-technical systems, energy management and automation in buildings, industrial use of energy.
Each track offers two possible pathways: the traditional pathway examines in depth the disciplines that characterize it, while the other specialist pathway provides students with the multidisciplinary skills that are required for each curriculum. By studying Design and management of power plants you will learn about nuclear fission plants and radiation protection, the fuel cycle, waste and decommissioning issues.
This track, English-taught, further explores some aspects of nuclear engineering. You will learn how to design components and systems for fission and nuclear fusion reactors. In addition, you will examine the issues of radiation protection, safety and risk analysis, plant reliability, as well as the nuclear fuel cycle and innovative materials suitable for use in the sector.
In Year 1, you will learn the elements of thermomechanics, physics of nuclear fission and fusion reactors, advanced materials for nuclear applications, engineering aspects of fusion and fission. In Year 2, you will study safety aspects of nuclear plants, radiation protection, the fuel cycle, waste and decommissioning, Monte Carlo methods, safety and risk analysis.
Each track offers two possible pathways: the traditional pathway examines in depth the disciplines that characterize it, while the other specialist pathway provides students with the multidisciplinary skills that are required for each curriculum. By choosing the Sustainable nuclear energy pathway, you will study the methods for design and optimization of energy systems, smart electricity systems, innovative energy systems and polygeneration systems.
