	Objectives
	TTHE COURSE PROVIDES THE METHODOLOGIES NECESSARY TO BE INTRODUCED IN THE CONTEXT OF NANOSCIENCES FOR SUSTAINABILITY. STARTING FROM THE DEFINITION OF NANOSCALE, IT INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO THE CONCEPT OF NANOSCIENCE WHICH ALLOWS THE CONTROL OF MATTER ON THE NANOMETRIC SCALE. THE GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE BASIC CONCEPTS OF THE USE OF NANOSCIENCES TO CONTRIBUTE TO SUSTAINABLE TRANSITION. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF NANOSCIENCE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF SUSTAINABILITY CONCEPTS. ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING ABILITY TO IDENTIFY PROBLEMS CONNECTED WITH SUSTAINABLE CHOICES ABILITY TO PLAN POSSIBLE SCIENTIFIC RESOLVING APPROACHES AUTONOMY OF JUDGMENT THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY ASSESS: • THE VALIDITY AND THE LIMITS OF THE CHARACTERISTICS AND THE PHYSICAL CHEMICAL BEHAVIOR OF NANOSTRUCTURES • THE CRITERIA FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF NANOMATERIALS AND SYSTEMS IN RELATION TO THEIR APPLICATIONS. COMMUNICATION SKILLS THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT CONVERSATIONS ON ISSUES RELATED TO NANOTECHNOLOGIES AND SUSTAINABILITY WITH ADEQUATE SCIENTIFIC TERMINOLOGY AND KNOWLEDGE OF TOOLS FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF THE DESCRIBED PHENOMENA.

	FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION. THE EXAM IS AIMED AT ASSESSING THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NANOSCIENCES, OF THE STRUCTURE OF MATTER AND ITS TRANSFORMATIONS. THE TEST WILL BE INTENDED TO VERIFY THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE BASIS OF THE USE OF NANOSCIENCES IN THE CONTEXT OF SUSTAINABILITY. THE MINIMUM ASSESSMENT LEVEL (18/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE DIFFERENT CONTENT OF THE PROGRAM AND A FRAGMENTARY KNOWLEDGE OF THE THEORETICAL CONTENT AND LIMITED ABILITY TO USE THEM. THE MAXIMUM LEVEL (30/30) IS ATTRIBUTED WHEN THE STUDENT DEMONSTRATES A COMPLETE AND IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS AND HAS A CONSIDERABLE ABILITY TO USE THEM IN THE STUDY CONTEXT. PRAISE IS GIVEN WHEN THE CANDIDATE DEMONSTRATES SIGNIFICANT MASTERY OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND TOOLS, EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION SKILLS, CONNECTION READY AND STRONG INDEPENDENT ABILITY.
