The MD STReGA aims to prepare master’s graduates who are experts in the design and realization of load-bearing structures of civil works and the analysis of related geotechnical problems. The fields of application of the master graduate are various, among all: residential and service buildings, industrial buildings and plants, road and railway infrastructures (bridges, viaducts, tunnels, road embankments), hydraulic works (dams and reservoirs), large sports facilities, maritime both coastal and offshore structures, surface and deep foundations, retaining structures, embankments in loose materials, underground constructions. The importance of fully guaranteeing the safety of the works mentioned above, the wide diffusion of many of them, as well as the ever-increasing relevance and attention to seismic issues and the other natural and anthropic risks (e.g. fires and explosions), with the related need for detailed risk prediction for the design, consolidation and repair of the existing built heritage (dilapidated buildings, historical centers) create for the master graduate a very wide and articulated field of intervention. In the courses, therefore, scientific bases as well as both traditional and innovative techniques will be provided, for addressing the sector specific challenges.
Specific learning objectives are aimed at the formation of a successful cultural and professional figure, oriented to the job market and characterized by a solid basic culture, a good culture in the fundamental application subjects and a more thorough culture in specific application and professional areas of Civil Engineering. The master graduate will be a conscious and critical professional figure, endowed with the necessary theoretical-scientific background, qualified to set up, carry out and manage even complex design activities, with strong planning and operational/management skills.
Students enrolled in the MD STReGA can join:
- The interdisciplinary training project Minor TT in Smart Infrastructure Developer activated at UNINA within the framework of the inter-University project-guide Technologies for Transitions.
- The Double Title (Double Degree – DD): the Master Degree in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II and the Master Degree in Civil Engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico of Lisbon.
The curriculum is essentially divided into 9 ECTS modules. The training pathway envisages eleven courses, seven of which are distributed between the two years. Three of these seven are compulsory, in two cases it is possible to choose between two courses of the same SSD, and in one case it is possible to choose between four courses of the same SSD, for the remaining teaching, which is also up to the student the decision of taking the class in Italian or English.
Ultimately, between the first and second year the student, through the use of the ECTSs allocated to curricular training activities and those of autonomous choice, will be able to choose whether to specialize in a sectoral figure with a high level of knowledge or to acquire a broader spectrum of skills useful for dealing with the demands of the world of work with sufficient flexibility.
The English-language course is geared more towards training an engineer destined to operate in a globalized market and ready to carry out his or her activities in international contexts. To this end, the participation of students in exchange programs under the Erasmus Student Mobility for Studies, Erasmus Student Mobility for Placement, Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window and those defined based on specific international agreements with foreign universities are strongly encouraged.
