Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS AT PROVIDING THE STUDENTS WITH KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS USEFUL TO BOTH (I) THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF DIFFERENT POLLUTED SITES AND (II) THE SUBSEQUENT PROPOSITION OF TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR THE REMEDIATION.
1.KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
IDENTIFICATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE FRAMEWORK.
COMPREHENSION OF: I) THE TECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ASSOCIATED TO SOIL CONTAMINATION PHENOMENA; II) THE TECHNICAL PROCEDURE FOR THE CARACHTERIZATION OF A POTENTIALLY CONTAMINATED SITE; III) THE MAIN REMEDIATION TECHNOLOGIES, WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE PROCESS OPERATION AND ITS FEASIBILITY.
2.APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING
AQUIRE ADEQUATE SKILLS TO: I) IDENTIFY A SITE SPECIFIC CHARACTERISTICS; II) DEVELOP THE CHARACTERIZATION PLAN FOR A POTENTIALLY CONTAMINANTED SITE, SO AS TO DEFINE ITS CONCEPTUAL MODEL; III) DESIGN REMEDIATION INTERVENTION ACCORDING TO THE CONTAMINATED SITE CHARCATERISTICS.
MAKING JUDGEMENTS
BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A SITE AS WELL AS THE MOST ADEQUATE TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE THE SANITARY-ENVINROMENTAL RISK ASSOCIATED TO THE CONTAMINATION.
4. COMMUNICATION SKILLS
BE ABLE TO WORK IN GROUPS, ELABORATE AND DISCUSS THE RESULTS OF A CHARACTERIZATION PLAN, IMPROVING THE TECHNICAL LANGUAGE.
5.LEARNING SKILLS
BE ABLE TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNICAL OPTIONS IN DIFFERENT CONTEXTS WITH RESPECT TO THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE.
Prerequisites
THE SPECIFIC TECHNICAL AND SCIENTIFIC CHARACTERISTICS OF THE TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE DO NOT REQUIRE ANY PREREQUISITES.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE DEVELOPS THROUGH BOTH LECTURES AND EXERCISES IN THE CLASSROOM. DESIGN PRACTICES ARE COMPLEMENTED WITH THE NECESSARY EXPLANATIONS OF METHODOLOGIES AND THEORETICAL CRITERIA.
DURING THE COURSE A GROUP HOEWORK DEALING WITH THE ANALYSIS OF A SEPARATE COLLECTION SYSTEM IS DEVELOPED.
TECHNICAL VISIT AT OPERATING TREATMENT/DISPOSAL PLANTS ON THE REGIONAL TERRITORY ARE ALSO SCHEDULED.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE LEARNING OUTCOMES WILL BE CARRIED OUT BY AN ORAL INTERVIEW AT THE END OF THE COURSE, DURING WHICH STUDENTS WILL PRESENT AND DISCUSS THEIR GROUP HOMEWORK, INDIVIDUALLY.
THE EVALUATION WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE FOLLOWING EQUIVALENT CRITERIA: KNOWLEDGE AND ABILITY TO SOLVE MAJOR ISSUES REQUIRING THE APPLICATION OF EXPRESSED CONCEPTS; KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIC ASSUMPTIONS AND LOGIC OF THE DISCIPLINE; ABILITY TO EXTEND THE APPLICATION OF BASIC CONCEPTS TO SOLVE ISSUES IN NEW APPLICATIONS, PROPERTY OF LANGUAGE WITH PARTICULAR REFERENCE TO THE SPECIFIC TERMINOLOGY OF THE DISCIPLINE.
