|---|---|
| GENERAL OBJECTIVE: THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE AND TEACH THE REGULATORY, OPERATIONAL AND DESIGN ELEMENTS OF INTEGRATED WASTE MANAGEMENT, TREATMENT AND ENERGY VALORISATION SYSTEMS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT WILL ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS AND THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE SIZING AND FUNCTIONAL VERIFICATION PROCEDURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED FOR THE REDUCTION, COLLECTION, REUSE, RECYCLING, RECOVERY OF MATERIAL AND ENERGY AND DISPOSAL OF WASTE. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE BEST TECHNOLOGICAL AND DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR THE CREATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT, TREATMENT AND VALORIZATION SYSTEMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PRINCIPLES OF ECOLOGICAL TRANSITION AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY. JUDGMENT AUTONOMY: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE MOST APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGIES, METHODS AND PROCEDURES TO CHARACTERIZE WASTE, PRELIMINARILY DESIGN A TREATMENT PLANT AND VALORISE IT AS RESOURCES, OPTIMIZING THEM BASED ON THE CONTEXT IN QUESTION. COMMUNICATION SKILLS: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO WORK IN A GROUP, PRESENT, DEVELOP AND DISCUSS DESIGN SOLUTIONS, COMMUNICATING IN A TECHNICAL AND EFFECTIVE WAY. LEARNING ABILITY: THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT THE KNOWLEDGE AND TECHNICAL OPTIONS ACQUIRED IN CONTEXTS AND REALITIES DIFFERENT FROM THOSE ILLUSTRATED DURING THE COURSE, CALIBRATING THE BEST SOLUTIONS IN CRITICAL MANNER AND ACCORDING TO PROVEN OPERATIONAL METHODOLOGIES. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| THE EXAM DOES NOT REQUIRE PREREQUISITES. FOR THE SUCCESSFUL ACHIEVEMENT OF THE SET OBJECTIVES, KNOWLEDGE RELATING TO ENVIRONMENTAL PHENOMENA AND IMPACTS ARE SUGGESTED. |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE INCLUDES LECTURES (80 HOURS/8 CFU) AND EXERCISES, IN THE CLASSROOM AND/OR LABORATORY, AND TECHNICAL VISITS TO WASTE TREATMENT PLANTS (40 HOURS/4 CFU). DURING THE LECTURES, STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE REASONING AND DISCUSSIONS PROPOSED WITH THE AIM OF STIMULATING ACTIVE PARTICIPATION IN THE LESSON. IN-CLASS EXERCISES ILLUSTRATE AND DEVELOP A THEORETICAL ACTIVITY PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. IN LABORATORY EXERCISES AND TECHNICAL VISITS, PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES ARE ILLUSTRATED AND CARRIED OUT ON TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE. STUDENTS OF THE COURSE, DIVIDED INTO WORK GROUPS, MAY BE ASSIGNED A MANDATORY PROJECT WORK TO BE DISCUSSED AT THE EXAMINATION STAGE, FOCUSED ON THE DESIGN OF A MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE TREATMENT PLANT. ATTENDANCE IS NOT REQUIRED TO TAKE THE PROFICIENCY EXAM. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| LEARNING ASSESSMENT WILL TAKE PLACE AT THE END OF THE COURSE THROUGH AN ORAL EXAMINATION AIMED AT VERIFYING THE EFFECTIVE ACHIEVEMENT BY THE STUDENT OF THE EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES SET. THE ORAL EXAMINATION WILL INCLUDE QUESTIONS OF A THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL AND APPLIED NATURE ON THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE AND ON ANY MANDATORY PROJECT WORK ASSIGNED. THE PROPOSAL, DISCUSSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF REAL EXAMPLES WILL BE USED TO VERIFY COMPREHENSION SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE, AS WELL AS COMMUNICATIVE SKILLS IN THE SUBJECTS OF THE COURSE. THE FINAL EVALUATION WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS AND WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT, WHERE MANDATORY, THE MANDATORY PROJECT WORK PREPARED. THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18) IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT HAS SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL AND APPLIED TOOLS AND SHOWS SUFFICIENT ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30) IS ASSIGNED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES EXCELLENT AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS, HAS A REMARKABLE ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT AND PRESENTS AND DISCUSSES A MANDATORY PROJECT WORK IN AN EXCELLENT WAY, WHERE MANDATORY. THE HONORS ARE AWARDED WHEN THE CANDIDATE, IN ADDITION TO WHAT IS STATED ABOVE, SHOWS AN EXCELLENT MASTERY OF METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND SHOWS REMARKABLE MASTERY OF LANGUAGE AND AUTONOMOUS ELABORATION CAPACITY EVEN IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER. |
