EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS AND COMPETENCE:
THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE TO THE STUDENT THE THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL, REGULATORY AND APPLICATIVE SKILLS AND TOOLS FOR THE IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS RESULTING FROM THE REALIZATION AND MANAGEMENT OF THE ENGINEERING PLANTS AND TERRITORIAL PROGRAMS AND PLANS. FURTHERMORE, THE COURSE INTENDS TO PROVIDE THE POSSIBLE FORMS OF MITIGATION AND COMPENSATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, AS WELL AS THE TOOLS FOR THE REDACTION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY, THE INCIDENCE ASSESSMENT, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT, AN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LAW IN FORCE.

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING CAPACITIES:
ACQUIRE THE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO THE ANALYSIS, IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN DIFFERENT SECTORS OF CIVIL ENGINEERING, THROUGH THE CHARACTERIZATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS AND THE APPLICATION OF THE MOST APPROPRIATE ESTIMATION METHODOLOGIES AND TECNIQUES. ABILITY TO BE MULTIDISCIPLINARY THROUGH A HOLISTIC APPROACH OF THE PROBLEM.

KNOWLEDGE AND APPLIED CAPACITY OF UNDERSTANDING:
KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY AND ASSESS ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS; TO CHARACTERIZE THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMPARTMENTS AND COMPONENTS, ADOPTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS; KNOW HOW TO IDENTIFY ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MITIGATION AND COMPENSATION MEASURES; KNOW HOW TO WRITE AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY, THE INCIDENCE STUDY, THE ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT; KNOW HOW TO APPLY FOR AN INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION.

JUDGMENT SKILLS:
KNOW HOW TO ANALYZE THE ACTIONS OF A PROJECT, A PLAN / PROGRAM, A PRODUCTION PROCESS FROM AN ENVIRONMENTAL POINT OF VIEW IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE SIGNIFICANT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS, ADOPTING THE MOST APPROPRIATE METHODS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
KNOW HOW TO INTERACT AT THE VARIOUS LEVELS WITH INSTITUTIONS, EXPERT IN ENVIROMENTAL TOPICS. KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN ORALLY THE TOPICS UNDERLYING THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT, THE STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF PLANS / PROGRAMS, THE INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION OF PRODUCTION PLANTS.

LEARNING SKILLS:
KNOW HOW TO APPLY THE ACQUIRED KNOWLEDGE TO CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE, AND DEEPEN THE TOPICS COVERED USING MATERIALS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED.
Prerequisites
THE EXAM DOES NOT REQUIRE PREREQUISITES. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE ABOVE-MENTIONED GOALS, KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL PHENOMENA IS SUGGESTED.

STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT: NORMATIVE FRAMEWORK AND TECHNICAL-ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURE. THE VAS. ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT. STRATEGIC-ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS.
IPPC (INTEGRATED POLLUTION PREVENTION AND CONTROL) - INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION AND UNIQUE ENVIRONMENTAL AUTHORIZATION
Teaching Methods
TEACHING INVOLVES LECTURE LESSONS (40 HOURS / 4 CFU) AND EXERCISES IN CLASSROOM (20 HOURS / 2 CFU). DURING THE LECTURES THE STUDENTS ARE INVOLVED IN THE DISCUSSIONS PROPOSED WITH THE AIM TO STIMULATE THEIR ACTIVE PARTICIPATION TO THE LESSON. IN THE CLASSROOM EXERCISES, A THEORETICAL ACTIVITY PRESENTED DURING THE COURSE IS ILLUSTRATED AND DEVELOPED. THE FREQUENCY OF THE LESSONS IS NOT REQUIRED IN ORDER TO ATTEND THE EXAM.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF LEARNING WILL BE AT THE END OF THE COURSE THROUGH AN ORAL EXAM WITH THE OBJECTIVE TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVE ACHIEVEMENT BY THE STUDENT OF THE ESTABLISHED FORMATION OBJECTIVES. THE ORAL EXAMINATION INCLUDES THEORICAL, TECHNICAL AND APPLICATIVE QUESTIONS ON THE TOPICS OF THE COURSE. PROPOSITION, DISCUSSION AND DEVELOPMENT OF REAL EXAMPLES WILL BE USED FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF UNDERSTANDING, COMMUNICATION AND KNOWLEDGE SKILLS.
THE FINAL EVALUATION WILL BE EXPRESSED IN THIRTIETHS (30THS).
THE MINIMUM EVALUATION LEVEL (18) IS GRANTED WHEN THE STUDENT HAS A SUFFICIENT KNOWLEDGE OF THEORETICAL, TECHNICAL, AND NORMATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND SHOWS SUFFICIENT ABILITY TO APPLY THEM TO THE STUDY CONTEXT.
THE MAX (30) IS GRANTED WHEN THE STUDENT SHOWS AN EXCELLENT KNOWLEDGE OF TOPICS OF COURSE.
THE “LAUDE” IS GRANTED WHEN THE CANDIDATE SHOWS AN EXCELLENT COMPETENCE OF THE METHODOLOGIES AND THE INSTRUMENTS SUPPLIED BY THE COURSE AND HAS A HIGH LEVEL OF THE LANGUAGE AND ABILITY OF AUTONOMOUS PROCESSING ALSO IN CONTEXTS DIFFERENT FROM THOSE PROPOSED BY THE PROFESSOR.
