Objectives
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE KNOWLEDGE ON THE DEVELOPMENT AND THE DESIGN OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES AND PLANTS BY ADOPTING STANDARD AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES (INTENSIFIED, SUSTAINABLE WITH REDUCED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT AND ORIENTED TOWARDS THE INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION OF THE INDUSTRY 4.0), FOCUSING THE ATTENTION ON PRODUCTIONS OF CHEMISTRY AND OF PHARMACEUTICAL, NUTRACEUTICAL-FOOD AND BIOTECHNOLOGICAL SECTORS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL KNOW: - THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF PLANT LINES (PROCESS AND SERVICE), WITH EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION TO MEASURE MAIN PROCESS VARIABLES; - THE TRANSPORT PHENOMENA INVOLVED IN TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES; - EXAMPLES OF INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES OF COMMON APPLICATION IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING; - THE ELEMENTS OF INNOVATION FOR SUSTAINABLE, INTENSIFIED PROCESSES AND THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE INDUSTRY 4.0 MANUFACTURING REVOLUTION BASED ON THE USE OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES. MAKING JUDGMENTS AT THE END OF THE COURSE THE STUDENT WILL HAVE: ABILITY TO DEVELOP TRANSFORMATION PROCESSES BASIC SCHEMES, STARTING FROM THE IDENTIFICATION OF THE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS, TO REACH MORE DETAILED PROCESS SCHEMES COMPREHENSIVE OF SUITABLE EQUIPMENT AND INSTRUMENTATION; ABILITY TO INDICATE THE KEY-PROCESSES INVOLVED IN PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIAL TRANSFORMATIONS AND TO SUGGEST POSSIBLE INTERVENTIONS FOR GREATER PRODUCTION SUSTAINABILITY.

Teaching Methods
LECTURES IN CLASSROOM (48 HOURS, 6 CFU).
Verification of learning
THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES WILL TAKE PLACE THROUGH AN ORAL INTERVIEW. IN PARTICULAR, THE ORAL EXAM CONSISTS OF THE DISCUSSION OF THE TOPICS PRESENTED IN LESSONS.
THE AVERAGE DURATION RANGES FROM ABOUT TWENTY MINUTES (IN CASE OF ANSWERS GIVEN QUICKLY AND CORRECTLY), UP TO 40 MINUTES IF THE CANDIDATE HESITATE IN HIS ANSWERS AND NEEDS MORE TIME TO GIVE REASONED ANSWERS.

THE OVERAL EVALUATION TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION THE SKILLS OF SYNTHESIS AND ANALYSIS IN THE DISCUSSION OF THE TOPICS REQUESTED AS WELL AS THE PROPERTIES OF TECHNICAL LANGUAGE. THE LEVEL OF SUFFICIENCY CORRESPONDS TO THE DEMONSTRATION OF THE ABILITY TO DESCRIBE THE FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS OF THE DIFFERENT TOPICS OF THE TEACHING PROGRAM (PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES, CONSTRUCTION ASPECTS, FIELDS OF APPLICATION).
THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE IS REACHED WHEN THE STUDENT PROVES ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY DEAL WITH ASPECTS OF THE PROBLEMS NOT EXPLICITLY COVERED IN LESSONS, WITH TECHNICAL LANGUAGE.
