Art. 1 Premise and area of competence

This Regulation, in accordance with the Statute and the University Degree regulation (general part and
special part), discipline the organisational aspects of the teaching activity of the Master’s degree course in
Environmental Engineering, as well as any other subject devolved to it by other legislative and regulatory
sources.
The Degree regulation of the Master’s degree Course in Environmental Engineering is resolved, pursuant
to article 25, paragraphs 1 and 4 of the University Degree regulation, general part, by the Degree
Programme Board (DPB) of Environmental Engineering and submitted for the approval of the Board of
DICCA, after consultation with the Polytechnic School, with the prior favourable opinion of the Joint
Committee of the School.

The resolutions of the DPB can also be taken in telematic mode according to the above-mentioned
regulations and, in particular, of Article 14 "meetings with telematic mode" of the current General
Regulation of the University (in force since 19/12/2018).

Art. 2 Admission requirements and procedures for verifying individual background

Admission to the Master's degree course in Environmental Engineering (Class LM-35) is subject to the
possession of specific curriculum requirements and adequate personal background.

Curriculum requirements
In particular, possession of a three-year degree, obtained in Italy, in the following classes: L-7 Civil and
Environmental Engineering, L-9 Industrial Engineering (Ministerial Decree 270/2004 or previous legal
systems considered equivalent), or alternatively, possession of another qualification obtained abroad and
recognised as suitable guarantees direct admission to this LM-35 ;

1
Alternatively, possession of specific numbers of ECTS obtained in sets of disciplinary-scientific sectors (SSD),
characterising the fundamental learning areas.
In particular, holders of three-year, specialist or master's degrees as per Ministerial Decree 509/1999 or
Ministerial Decree 270/2004, obtained at an Italian University, or holders of a five-year degree (prior to
Ministerial Decree 509/1999), obtained at an Italian University, or alternatively holders of qualifications
acquired abroad and recognised as suitable, who have passed at least 36 ECTS of the SSDs in the
mathematics, physics and chemistry area and at least 12 ECTS of the following characterising SSDs, are
admitted: ICAR01, ICAR02, ICAR03, ICAR07, ICAR08, ICAR09, ING-IND24, ING-IND25.

In the event that the candidate does not meet the curricular requirements, the DPB will indicate the
curricular additions in terms of university credits or specific teaching units which must necessarily be
acquired before a new application is submitted.

Furthermore, a good knowledge of the English language is required, understood as the ability to use the
English language fluently, in written and oral form, with reference also to disciplinary lexicons (level B2).

The eligibility of qualifications obtained abroad is recognised by the competent Degree Programme Board
on the basis of an assessment of the academic qualification, the training activities (examinations) carried
out, and the CV

Adequacy of personal preparation

In order to be admitted to the Master's Degree Course in Environmental Engineering, students who meet
the curriculum requirements must take a test, conducted in the form of a public interview, aimed at
ascertaining the candidate's general preparation. Knowledge of fundamental notions of engineering and
the subjects characterizing the degree class is assessed.

The adequacy of personal preparation is automatically verified for those who have obtained an Italian
Bachelor's degree with a final grade of at least 92/110.
The result of the test shall only include the words "passed", "not passed".

For those who have obtained a qualification abroad, deemed equivalent during the assessment of
curricular requirements, the adequacy of individual preparation is verified by the competent degree
program council, according to the following criteria:

1. the "academic record" (grade point average, class rank, GPA...);

2. the quality of the university that awarded the first-level degree;
3. possible interview or test.

For extra-UE students, the knowledge of the English language is verified through the presentation of a
certificate at a level not lower than B2 or equivalent scale. Only the following certificates are admitted:

• Cambridge;
• Trinity;
• IELTS;
• TOEFL iBT;
• IGCSE;
• The PeopleCert Group
• Oxford Test of English;
• Linguaskill.

2
 Both EU students and extra-UE students who do not have a B2 level or higher certification or attestation,
the good knowledge of English can be also verified through online tests organised by the Language Skills
Development Sector of the University of Genoa.

Art. 3 Training activities

The list of teaching units and other possible training activities, in the cohort 2022-2023, is given in the
appropriate annex (Annex 1) which constitutes an integral part of this regulation.
A responsible professor is identified for each teaching unit. A professor is responsible for teaching whoever
is in charge of teaching according to the law, i.e. the one to whom the relative Department Board has
attributed the responsibility when assigning teaching tasks to professors.
The language used to provide training activities (lessons, exercises, workshops) shall be English.

Art. 4 Enrolment in individual training activities

In accordance with Article 5 of the University Regulations for students, in order to enrol in individual
training activities you must have a qualification which allows access to the university.

Art. 5 Curricula
The Master’s degree Course in Environmental Engineering is structured in curricula: Blue Engineering and
Green Engineering.
The student, after a first year in which the skills considered to be the basis for the degree are provided,
will find two suggested paths to deepen some aspects of environmental engineering. In particular, a more
marine/atmospheric environment oriented path and a path more linked to the territory as a catchment
area, industrial and urban environment.

Art. 6 Total time commitment

The definition of the hourly fraction dedicated to lessons or equivalent teaching activities is established,
for each teaching unit, by the DPB at the same time as defining the Degree Programme Table. In any case,
we assume the following interval of variability between classroom hours/trainingcredits (ECTS) equal to: 8
÷ 10, understanding by “classroom hours” the hours of lesson or assisted teaching activity.
The definition of the assumed total time commitment, reserved for personal study or other training
activities of an individual type, is established, for each teaching unit, in the annex (Annex 1) to this
regulation.
The director of DICCA Department and the coordinator of the DPB shall be responsible for verifying
compliance with the above provisions.

Art. 7 Study plans and prerequisites

Students can enrol full-time or part-time; for the two types of student there are different rights and duties.
The student chooses the type of enrolment when presenting the study plan. The full-time student carries
out his/her training activity considering the study plan defined by the Master’s degree course, which is
published in the Degree Programme Table. The study plan formulated by the student must contain an
indication of the training activities and the ECTS that he/she intends to achieve, provided for by the official
study plan for the didactic period, up to a maximum of 65 ECTS each year.
The part-time student is required to submit an individual study plan, specifying the number of ECTS he/she
intends to achieve in accordance with the University's regulations on student contributions.
The enrolment of full-time and part-time students is regulated by the University Regulations for students
considering the operational provisions resolved by the central government bodies and indicated in the
Student Guide (published annually on the University's website).
The training path of the student is organised according with criteria of propaedeuticity. Therefore, the study
plan is strongly recommended in coherence with the educational path.
The DPB may, with a reasoned resolution, authorise students who have demonstrated particularly high
3
academic performance in the previous academic year to include in their study plan more than 65 ECTS, butin
any case, not more than 75.

"Particularly high performance" means that the student has passed all the exams of his/her study plan by
the month of September.
The study plan which has a shorter duration than the normal one is approved by the Degree Programme
Board.
The method and deadline for the presentation of the study plan are established annually by the Polytechnic
School and reported on the website of the degree program on the student’s page.
The student may enter in his/her study plan free extra-curricular teaching units up to a maximum of 12
ECTS.

Art. 8 Attendance and methods of carrying out teaching activities

The teaching units may take the form of: a) lectures, including distance learning by telematic means; b)
practical exercises; c) laboratory exercises; d) thematic seminars.
The articulated profile and the demanding nature of the lessons taught as part of the course of study make
the attendance to the training activities strongly recommended for an adequate understanding of the topics
and therefore for a good success in the exams.
The schedule of classes is divided into semesters. As a rule, the semester is divided into at least 12 weeks of
lesson plus at least 4 weeks overall for verification tests and profit exams.
The period for profit exams ends with the beginning of the lessons of the following semester.
The lesson schedule for the entire academic year is published on the Course of Study's website before the
start of the lessons of the academic year.
The schedule of classes guarantees the possibility of attendance based on the years of the courseprogramme
provided for by the current Degree Programme Table. For practical reasons, the compatibility of the
timetable for all formally possible optional teaching choices is not guaranteed. Students must then formulate
their study plan taking into account the time of the lessons.
From the second year onwards, the internship envisaged in the training programme may be carried out in
DICCA laboratories, other universities, research centres, companies, public bodies, etc. In the case of
mobility programmes for examinations or thesis abroad, the internship may also be offered in the foreign
location where the programme is carried out.

Art. 9 Examinations and other profit exams

Profit exams can be carried out in written, oral, or written and oral, according to the methods indicated in
the sheets of each teaching unit published on the website of the Master’s degree course.
On request, specific learning verification arrangements may be provided to take into account the needs of
disabled students and students with specific learning disorders (D. S. A.), in accordance with art. 20
paragraph 4 of the University Degree Regulation.
In the case of teaching units structured in modules with several professors, they participate collegially in
the overall evaluation of the student's profit which cannot, however, be split into separate evaluations on
the individual modules.
The calendar of profit exams is established by the ministerial deadline for the following academic year and
is published on the website of the Master’s degree course. The calendar of any intermediate verification
tests is established by the DPB and communicated to the students at the beginning of each teaching cycle.
Examinations are held in periods of interruption of classes. Examinations may be planned during the period
of the classes only for students who, in the current academic year, have not included training activities in
their study plan.
All profit examinations of training activities must be passed by the student by the deadline set by the
student secretariat of the Polytechnic School in view of the final examination, as indicated in the "reminder"
published on the University website and accessible from the School's website.
4
The result of the examination, with the vote obtained, is verbalized in accordance with art. 29 of the
University Degree Regulation.
The profit examination Committees are appointed by the course coordinator and consist of at least 3
members, two of whom are full members, one of whom is the professor responsible for teaching. If the
percentage of success for teaching is less than 30% consecutively for two academic years, the Committee
will be composed of at least 5 professors and the report must certify the effective presence of at least 3
members. They may be members of the Committee who are experts in the subject identified by the course
board on the basis of criteria that ensure the possession of scientific, didactic or professional requisites;
these requisites may be presumed to be possessed by retired university professors. The Committees are
chaired by the professor responsible for teaching and a deputy must be identified for each one.

Art. 10 Recognition of credits

The Board Degree Programme decides on the approval of applications for change or transfer from another
degree course of the university or other universities in accordance with the rules provided forin the
University Degree regulation, art. 18. The DPB also decides the recognition, as training credits, for a
maximum number of 12 ECTS, of professional knowledge and skills certified in accordance with the current
legislation.
The evaluation of applications for change will take into account the didactic specificities and the actualityof
the educational content of the individual exams taken, reserving to establish from time to time any forms
of verification and supplementary exams.

Art. 11 Mobility, studies abroad, international exchanges

The DPB strongly supports the student mobility, in particular through participation to mobility and
international exchange programmes. The DPB shall ensure, in accordance with the rules in force, the
recognition of the training credits obtained within these programmes and shall organise the training
activities as appropriate in such a way as to make these activities easier and effective.

The DPB recognizes enrolled students, who have regularly completed a period of study abroad, the exams
taken off-site and the achievement of the related credits with which the student intends to replace the
exams of his own study plan.

For the purposes of the recognition of these examinations, the student at the time of the compilation of
the plan of training activities, he intends to follow at the University abroad, must produce suitable
documentation proving the equivalence of content between the teaching unit abroad and the teaching
unit that intends to replace taught in the Master’s degree Course in Environmental Engineering.
Equivalence shall be evaluated by the DPB. The conversion of marks will take place according to criteria
approved by the DPB, in accordance with the European ECTS system.

In the case of periods of study abroad for the preparation of the final examination, the number of credits
recognised for this activity is established in relation to the duration of the period spent abroad.

Art. 12 Procedures for the final examination

The final examination consists in the discussion of a written thesis, aimed at ascertaining the candidate's
technical-scientific and professional preparation.
For the purposes of obtaining a Master's Degree, the final examination consists of the writing of a
theoretical, experimental or applicative thesis, elaborated by the student in an original way under the
guidance of one or more supervisors, on subjects defined as relevant to a discipline for which the candidate
has passed the exam. The thesis must in any case be coherent with the arguments discussed during the
Master's degree.
5
At least one DPB lecturer must be present among the supervisors.
The thesis must be written in English; the writing of an extensive summary in Italian may be required by
the DPB through the supervisor.
If a language other than English is used, the authorisation of the CCS is required, as well as a translation of
the title and an extensive English summary.
The thesis must reveal the student's ability to deal with research and/or application issues. The thesis must
consist of a project and/or the development of an application that proposes innovative solutions with
respect to the state of the art.
The thesis must also reveal:
• preparation in the disciplines characterising the Master's Degree,
• a correct use of sources and bibliography,
• systematic and argumentative skills,
• clarity in the exposition,
• design and experimental skills,
• critical thinking skills.

The effort required of the student for the preparation of the final examination is commensurate with the
number of credits allocated to the examination.
The Committee for the final examination is composed of at least five members, the majority of whommust
be tenured professors and researchers and it is appointed by the Director of the DICCA Department.
The procedure for the final examination consists of the oral presentation of the thesis by the student to
the Final Examination Committee, followed by a discussion of any questions raised by the members of the
Committee.

If the student passes the final examination, the Committee assesses the final examination by attributing an
increase, varying from 0 to 6 (maximum established by the School in agreement with the Departmentsand
indicated in the Degree Programme Table), to the weighted average of the marks obtained in the
examination tests relating to the educational activities that require a final mark, taking as a weight the
number of credits associated with the individual educational activity.
Among the aspects that contribute to the definition of the mark attributed to the final examination, the
Committee shall take particular account of
- quality, completeness and originality of the paper (up to a maximum of 3 points);
- presentation of the paper (up to a maximum of 2 point);
- evaluation of the student's career (duration of the candidate's studies, marks with honours, any period
spent abroad for the writing of the paper or a substantial part of it) up to a maximum of 1 points.
Honours are awarded, subject to the unanimous approval of the Committee, to students who have
obtained a final mark of at least 110 points. The dignity of printing for the master's thesis may be requested
by the supervisor from the members of the Degree Committee at least 15 days before the graduation
session, explaining the reasons. The dignity of printing is awarded by unanimous vote of the Graduation
Committee.

Art. 13 Guidance services and tutoring

The Polytechnic School, in agreement with the DICCA Department, organises and manages a guidance and
support service for students, in order to promote the different second-level training pathways.
The course of study identifies two tutors to support the students enrolled in the course.

Art. 14 Verification of obsolescence of credits

6
Credits acquired within the framework of the Master’s degree course in Environmental Engineering are
valid for 6 years. If the DPB recognizes the obsolescence of even a single part of the relative educational
content, the DPB itself establishes the supplementary tests that must be taken by the student, defining the
topic, the methods of verification and the composition of the examination committee.
Once the required tests have been passed, the DPB validates the credits acquired with a resolution. If the
related training activity provides for a vote, it may be varied from the one previously obtained, on a
proposal from the Examination Committee which carried out the verification.

Art. 15 Degree Programme Table

The DICCA Department, after consulting the Polytechnic School, approves and publishes annually the
Degree Programme Table. In the Degree Programme Table are indicated the main provisions of the didactic
system and the degree regulation of the Master’s degree course, to which additional informationmay be
added.
The Degree Programme Table of the Master’s degree course contains the list of the teaching units activated
for the academic year in question. Individual teaching units’ sheets are published on the website of the
degree course.

Art. 1. Premessa e ambito di competenza

Il presente Regolamento, in conformità allo Statuto ed al Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo (parte generale e parte
speciale), disciplina gli aspetti organizzativi dell’attività didattica del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Environmental
Engineering nonché ogni diversa materia ad esso devoluta da altre fonti legislative e regolamentari.
Il Regolamento didattico del Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Environmental Engineering è deliberato, ai sensi dell’articolo
25, commi 1 e 4 dell’articolo 18, parte generale, dal Consiglio di Corso di Studio (CCS) di Environmental Engineering e
sottoposto all’approvazione del Consiglio di Dipartimento DICCA, sentita la Scuola Politecnica, previo parere
favorevole della Commissione Paritetica di Scuola.

Le delibere del CCS possono essere assunte anche in modalità telematica ai sensi dei sovraordinati regolamenti e, in
particolare, dell’articolo 14 “Riunioni con modalità telematiche” del vigente Regolamento Generale di Ateneo (in
vigore dal 19/12/2018).

Art. 2. Requisiti di ammissione. Modalità di verifica

L'ammissione al Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Environmental Engineering (classe LM-35) è subordinata al possesso di
specifici requisiti curricolari e di adeguatezza della preparazione personale.

Requisiti curriculari:
In particolare, il possesso di una laurea triennale conseguita in Italia nelle classi L-7 Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale o
L-9 Ingegneria Industriale (DM 270/2004 o previgenti ordinamenti ritenuti equivalenti), o, in alternativa, il possesso
23
di un altro titolo acquisito all'estero e riconosciuto idoneo, garantiscono l'accesso diretto a questa LM-35.

In alternativa viene richiesto il possesso di specifici numeri di CFU conseguiti in insiemi di Settori Scientifico
Disciplinari (SSD), caratterizzanti le aree di apprendimento di base.
In particolare vengono ammessi i possessori di lauree triennali, specialistiche o magistrali di cui al DM 509/1999 o
DM 270/2004, conseguite presso una Università italiana, oppure i possessori di una laurea quinquennale (ante DM
509/1999), conseguita presso una Università italiana o in alternativa i possessori di titolo acquisito all'estero e
riconosciuto idoneo, che abbiamo superato almeno 36 CFU degli SSD dell'area matematica, fisica e chimica e almeno
12 CFU dei seguenti SSD caratterizzanti: ICAR01, ICAR02, ICAR03, ICAR07, ICAR08, ICAR09, ING-IND24, ING-IND25.

Nel caso in cui il candidato risultasse carente dei requisiti curriculari richiesti, il CCS indicherà le integrazioni
curriculari in termini di crediti formativi universitari oppure di specifici insegnamenti che dovranno essere
necessariamente acquisite prima di una nuova presentazione della domanda di ammissione.

E' inoltre richiesta una buona conoscenza della lingua inglese, intesa come capacità di utilizzare fluentemente, in
forma scritta e orale, la lingua inglese con riferimento anche ai lessici disciplinari (livello B2).

L’idoneità di titoli conseguiti all’estero viene riconosciuta dal competente consiglio di corso di studi sulla base di una
valutazione del titolo accademico, delle attività formative (esami) svolte, e del cv.

Adeguatezza della preparazione personale:

Per l'ammissione al Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Environmental Engineering, gli studenti in possesso dei requisiti
curriculari devono sostenere una prova di verifica, svolta sotto forma di colloquio pubblico, e finalizzata ad accertare
la preparazione generale del candidato. Viene valutata la conoscenza di nozioni fondamentali dell'ingegneria e delle
materie caratterizzanti la classe di laurea.

L'adeguatezza della preparazione personale è automaticamente verificata per coloro che hanno conseguito la laurea
triennale italiana, con una votazione finale di almeno 92/110.

L'esito delle prove prevede la sola dicitura superato, non superato.

Per coloro che abbiano conseguito un titolo all’estero, giudicato equivalente in sede di accertamento dei requisiti
curricolari, l’adeguatezza della preparazione individuale è verificata) dal competente consiglio di corso di studio,
secondo i seguenti criteri:

1. il “curriculum accademico” (media dei voti, class rank, GPA…);

2. la qualità dell’Università che ha erogato il titolo di I livello;

3. eventuale colloquio o test

Per tutti gli studenti, sia europei che extra-europei, la conoscenza della lingua inglese viene verificata attraverso la
presentazione di una certificazione di livello non inferiore ad un B2 o scala equivalente. Sono ammessi i seguenti
certificati:

• Cambridge;
• Trinity;
• IELTS;
• TOEFL iBT;
• IGCSE;
• The PeopleCert Group
• Oxford Test of English;
• Linguaskill.

24
Per coloro che non abbiano una certificazione o attestazione di livello B2 o superiore, la conoscenza della lingua
inglese può essere anche verificata tramite test on-line erogati dal settore di competenze linguistiche d’ateneo.

Art. 3. Attività formative

L’elenco degli insegnamenti e delle altre attività formative attivabili nella coorte 2022-23, è riportato nell’apposito
allegato (ALL.1) che costituisce parte integrante del presente regolamento.

Per ogni insegnamento è individuato un docente responsabile. È docente responsabile di un insegnamento chi ne sia
titolare a norma di legge, ovvero colui al quale il Consiglio di Dipartimento di afferenza abbia attribuito la responsabilità
stessa in sede di affidamento dei compiti didattici ai docenti.

La lingua usata per erogare le attività formative (lezioni, esercitazioni, laboratori) è l’inglese.

Art. 4. Iscrizione a singole attività formative

In conformità con l’articolo 5 del Regolamento di Ateneo per gli studenti, per iscriversi a singole attività formative
occorre possedere un titolo di studio che permetta l'accesso all'Università.

Art. 5. Curricula

Il corso di laurea magistrale in Environmental Engineering è articolato in curricula: Blue Engineering e Green
Engineering.
Lo studente, dopo un primo anno in cui vengono fornite le competenze ritenute di fondamento per la laurea, troverà
due percorsi suggeriti in modo da approfondire alcuni aspetti dell’ingegneria ambientale. In particolare, un percorso
più orientato all’ambiente marino/atmosferico e un percorso più legato al territorio inteso come bacino idrografico,
ambiente industriale e urbano.

Art. 6. Impegno orario complessivo

La definizione della frazione oraria dedicata a lezioni o attività didattiche equivalenti è stabilita, per ogni
insegnamento, dal CCS e specificata nella parte speciale del Regolamento. In ogni caso si assume il seguente intervallo
di variabilità della corrispondenza ore aula/CFU: 8 ÷ 10 ore di lezione o di attività didattica assistita.

La definizione dell’impegno orario complessivo presunto, riservato allo studio personale o ad altre attività formative
di tipo individuale, è stabilito, per ogni insegnamento, nell’allegato (ALL.1) del presente regolamento.

Il Direttore del dipartimento DICCA e il Coordinatore del CCS sono incaricati di verificare il rispetto delle predette
prescrizioni.

Art. 7. Piani di studio e propedeuticità

Gli studenti possono iscriversi a tempo pieno o a tempo parziale; per le due tipologie di studente sono previsti
differenti diritti e doveri.

Lo studente sceglie la tipologia di iscrizione contestualmente alla presentazione del piano di studio.
25
Lo studente a tempo pieno svolge la propria attività formativa tenendo conto del piano di studio predisposto dal corso
di laurea magistrale, distinto per anni di corso e pubblicato nel Manifesto degli studi. Il piano di studio formulato dallo
studente deve contenere l’indicazione delle attività formative, con i relativi crediti che intende conseguire, previsti dal
piano di studio ufficiale per tale periodo didattico, fino ad un massimo di 65 dei crediti previsti in ogni anno.

Lo studente a tempo parziale è tenuto a presentare un piano di studio individuale specificando il numero di crediti che
intende inserire secondo quanto disposto dal regolamento per la contribuzione studentesca di Ateneo.

L’iscrizione degli studenti a tempo pieno e a tempo parziale è disciplinata dal regolamento di Ateneo per gli studenti
tenuto conto delle disposizioni operative deliberate dagli Organi centrali di Governo ed indicate nella Guida dello
studente (pubblicata annualmente sul sito web dell’Università).

Il percorso formativo dello studente è stato organizzato secondo criteri di propedeuticità. Pertanto il piano di studio è
fortemente consigliato in coerenza con il percorso formativo.

Il CCS, con esplicita e motivata deliberazione, può autorizzare gli studenti che nell’anno accademico precedente
abbiano dimostrato un rendimento negli studi particolarmente elevato ad inserire nel proprio piano di studio un
numero di crediti superiore a 65, ma in ogni caso non superiore a 75.
Per “rendimento particolarmente elevato” si intende che lo studente abbia superato tutti gli esami del proprio piano
di studio entro il mese di settembre.

Il piano di studio articolato su una durata più breve rispetto a quella normale, è approvato dal Consiglio del Corso di
Studio.

La modalità e il termine per la presentazione del piano di studio sono stabiliti annualmente dalla Scuola Politecnica e
riportate riportati sul sito web del corso di studi alla pagina “Studenti”.

nel Manifesto degli studi- Area Ingegneria.

Lo studente può aggiungere nel proprio percorso formativo insegnamenti “fuori piano” fino ad un massimo di
12 cfu senza versare ulteriori contributi.

Art. 8. Frequenza e modalità di svolgimento delle attività didattiche

Gli insegnamenti possono assumere la forma di: (a) lezioni, anche a distanza mediante mezzi telematici; (b)
esercitazioni pratiche; (c) esercitazioni in laboratorio; (d) seminari tematici

Il profilo articolato e la natura impegnativa delle lezioni tenute nell’ambito del corso di studio rendono la frequenza
alle attività formative fortemente consigliata per una adeguata comprensione degli argomenti e quindi per una buona
riuscita negli esami.

Il calendario delle lezioni è articolato in semestri. Di norma, il semestre è suddiviso in almeno 12 settimane di lezione
più almeno 4 settimane complessive per prove di verifica ed esami di profitto.
Il periodo destinato agli esami di profitto termina con l’inizio delle lezioni del semestre successivo.

L’orario delle lezioni per l’intero anno accademico è pubblicato sul sito web del CdS prima dell’inizio delle lezioni
dell’anno accademico.
26
L’orario delle lezioni garantisce la possibilità di frequenza per anni di corso previsti dal vigente Manifesto degli studi.
Per ragioni pratiche non è garantita la compatibilità dell'orario per tutte le scelte formalmente possibili degli
insegnamenti opzionali. Gli studenti devono quindi formulare il proprio piano di studio tenendo conto dell'orario delle
lezioni.
Il tirocinio previsto nel percorso formativo può essere svolto, a partire dal secondo anno, nei laboratori del DICCA, in
altre Università, Centri di Ricerca, Aziende, Enti Pubblici, etc… Nel caso di programmi di mobilità per esami o tesi
all’estero il tirocinio può essere proposto anche nella sede estera in cui viene svolto il programma.

Art. 9. Esami e altre verifiche del profitto

Gli esami di profitto possono essere svolti in forma scritta, orale, o scritta e orale, secondo le modalità indicate nelle
schede di ciascun insegnamento pubblicate sul sito web di Ateneo e accessibili anche da quello del Corso di Laurea
Magistrale.
o sul sito web del Corso di Laurea Magistrale.

A richiesta, possono essere previste specifiche modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento che tengano conto delle
esigenze di studenti disabili e di studenti con disturbi specifici dell’apprendimento (D.S.A.), in conformità all’art. 20
comma 4 del Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo.

Nel caso di insegnamenti strutturati in moduli con più docenti, questi partecipano collegialmente alla valutazione
complessiva del profitto dello studente che non può, comunque, essere frazionata in valutazioni separate sui singoli
moduli.

Il calendario degli esami di profitto è stabilito, secondo le scadenze ministeriali, e viene pubblicato sul sito web di
Ateneo e accessibile da quello del Corso di Laurea magistrale. Il calendario delle eventuali prove di verifica in itinere è
stabilito dal CCS e comunicato agli studenti all’inizio di ogni ciclo didattico.

Gli esami si svolgono nei periodi di interruzione delle lezioni. Possono essere previsti appelli durante il periodo delle
lezioni soltanto per gli studenti che, nell’anno accademico in corso, non abbiano inserito attività formative nel proprio
piano di studio.

Tutte le verifiche del profitto relative alle attività formative debbono essere superate dallo studente entro la scadenza
prevista dalla segreteria studenti della Scuola Politecnica in vista della prova finale, come indicato nel “promemoria”
pubblicato sul sito web di Ateneo e accessibile anche da quello del CdS.

L’esito dell’esame, con la votazione conseguita, è verbalizzato secondo quanto previsto all’art. 29 del regolamento
didattico di Ateneo.

Le commissioni di esame di profitto sono nominate dal coordinatore del corso di studio e sono composte da almeno
3 componenti, di cui due membri effettivi dei quali uno è il docente responsabile dell’insegnamento. Nel caso in cui la
percentuale di superamento per l’insegnamento sia inferiore al 30% consecutivamente per due anni accademici la
commissione sarà allargata ad almeno 5 docenti e la verbalizzazione dovrà certificare la presenza effettiva di almeno
3 componenti. Possono essere componenti della commissione cultori della materia individuati dal consiglio del corso
di studio sulla base di criteri che assicurino il possesso di requisiti scientifici, didattici o professionali; tali requisiti si
possono presumere posseduti da parte di docenti universitari a riposo. Le commissioni sono presiedute dal docente
responsabile dell’insegnamento e per ognuna va individuato un presidente supplente.

27
Art. 10. Riconoscimento di crediti

Il CCS delibera sull’approvazione delle domande di passaggio o trasferimento da un altro corso di studi dell’Ateneo o
di altre Università secondo le norme previste dal Regolamento didattico di Ateneo, art. 18. Delibera altresì l’eventale
riconoscimento, quale credito formativo, per un numero massimo di 12 CFU, di conoscenze e abilità professionali
certificate ai sensi della normativa vigente.

Nella valutazione delle domande di passaggio si terrà conto delle specificità didattiche e dell’attualità dei contenuti
formativi dei singoli esami sostenuti, riservandosi di stabilire di volta in volta eventuali forme di verifica ed esami
integrativi.

Art. 11. Mobilità, studi compiuti all’estero, scambi internazionali

Il CCS incoraggia fortemente le attività di internazionalizzazione, in particolare la partecipazione degli studenti ai

programmi di mobilità e di scambi internazionali. A tal fine garantisce, secondo le modalità previste dalle norme
vigenti, il riconoscimento dei crediti formativi conseguiti all’interno di tali programmi, e organizza le attività didattiche
opportunamente in modo da rendere agevoli ed efficaci tali attività.

Il CCS riconosce agli studenti iscritti, che abbiano regolarmente svolto e completato un periodo di studi all’estero, gli
esami sostenuti fuori sede e il conseguimento dei relativi crediti che lo studente intenda sostituire ad esami del proprio
piano di studi.

Ai fini dei riconoscimenti, lo studente all’atto della compilazione del piano delle attività formative che intende seguire
nell’ateneo estero, dovrà produrre idonea documentazione comprovante l’equivalenza dei contenuti tra
l’insegnamento impartito all’estero e l’insegnamento che intende sostituire, impartito nel corso di laurea magistrale
in Environmental Engineering. L’equivalenza è valutata dal CCS.

La conversione dei voti avverrà secondo criteri approvati dal CCS, congruenti con il sistema europeo ECTS.

Per periodi di studio dedicati alla preparazione della prova finale, il numero di crediti riconosciuto, relativi a tale
fattispecie, è messo in relazione alla durata del periodo svolto all’estero.

Art. 12. Modalità della prova finale

La prova finale consiste nella discussione di un elaborato scritto, tendente ad accertare la preparazione tecnico-
scientifica e professionale del candidato.

Ai fini del conseguimento della laurea magistrale, l’elaborato finale consiste nella redazione di una tesi (di carattere
teorico, sperimentale o applicativo) elaborata dallo studente in modo originale sotto la guida di uno o più relatori, su
argomenti definiti attinenti ad una disciplina di cui il candidato abbia superato l’esame; la tesi deve essere comunque
coerente con gli argomenti sviluppati nel corso della laurea magistrale.

Tra i relatori deve essere presente almeno un docente della Scuola Politecnica e/o del Corso di Studio.

28
La tesi è redatta in lingua Inglese; al candidato potrà essere richiesta, dal CCS per tramite del relatore, la redazione di
un sommario in lingua italiana.

In caso di utilizzo di altra lingua rispetto l’inglese è necessaria l’autorizzazione del CCS, la traduzione del titolo e la
stesura di un ampio sommario in inglese.

La tesi dovrà rivelare le capacità dello studente nell’affrontare tematiche di tipo applicativo e/o di ricerca. La tesi dovrà
essere costituita da un progetto e/o dallo sviluppo di un’applicazione che proponga soluzioni innovative rispetto allo
stato dell’arte.

La tesi dovrà altresì rivelare:

✓ adeguata preparazione nelle discipline caratterizzanti la laurea magistrale;
✓ corretto uso delle fonti e della bibliografia;
✓ capacità sistematiche e argomentative;
✓ chiarezza nell'esposizione;
✓ capacità progettuale e sperimentale;
✓ capacità critica.

L’impegno richiesto allo studente per la preparazione della prova finale è commisurato al numero di crediti
assegnati alla prova stessa.

La Commissione per la prova finale è composta da almeno cinque componenti, professori e ricercatori di ruolo,
compreso il Presidente ed è nominata dal Direttore del Dipartimento DICCA.

Le modalità di svolgimento della prova finale consistono nella presentazione orale della tesi di laurea da parte dello
studente alla commissione per la prova finale, seguita da una discussione sulle questioni eventualmente poste dai
componenti la commissione.

La valutazione della prova finale da parte della commissione avviene, in caso di superamento della stessa, attribuendo
un incremento, variabile da 0 a 6 (massimo stabilito dalla Scuola di concerto con i Dipartimenti e riportato nel
Manifesto degli Studi), alla media ponderata dei voti riportati nelle prove di verifica relative ad attività formative che
prevedono una votazione finale, assumendo come peso il numero di crediti associati alla singola attività formativa.

Tra gli aspetti che concorrono alla definizione del punteggio attribuito alla prova finale, la Commissione dovrà
particolarmente tenere in conto:
-qualità, completezza e originalità dell’elaborato (fino ad un massimo di 3 punti );
-esposizione dell’elaborato (fino ad un massimo di 2 punti);
-valutazione della carriera dello studente (votazioni con lode, eventuale periodo svolto all’estero per la redazione
dell’elaborato o di una sua consistente parte) (fino ad un massimo di 1 punto).
-eventuale periodo svolto all’estero per la redazione dell’elaborato o di una sua consistente parte;
-durata degli studi del candidato.

La lode viene conferita, in presenza dell’approvazione unanime della Commissione, a studenti che abbiano
conseguito una valutazione finale di almeno 110 punti. La dignità di stampa per il lavoro di tesi magistrale può
essere richiesta dal relatore ai membri della Commissione di Laurea almeno 15 giorni prima della seduta di laurea,
illustrandone le motivazioni. La dignità di stampa viene attribuita con voto unanime della Commissione della seduta
di Laurea.

29
Art. 13. Orientamento e tutorato

Il Corso di Studio individua al suo interno due docenti tutor al fine di supportare gli studenti iscritti al corso.

Art. 14. Verifica dell’obsolescenza dei crediti

I crediti formativi universitari acquisiti nell’ambito del corso di laurea possono essere sottoposti a verifica di
obsolescenza dopo 6 anni. Qualora il CCS riconosca l’obsolescenza anche di una sola parte dei relativi contenuti
formativi, lo stesso CCS stabilisce le prove integrative che dovranno essere sostenute dallo studente, definendo gli
argomenti delle stesse, le modalità di verifica, la composizione della commissione di esame.

Una volta superate le verifiche previste, il CCS convalida i crediti acquisiti con apposita delibera. Qualora la relativa
attività formativa preveda una votazione, la stessa potrà essere variata rispetto a quella precedentemente ottenuta,
su proposta della Commissione d’esame che ha proceduto alla verifica.

Art. 16. Manifesto degli Studi

Il Dipartimento DICCA, sentita la Scuola Politecnica, approva e pubblica annualmente il Manifesto degli studi del Corso
di Laurea Magistrale. Nel Manifesto sono indicate le principali disposizioni dell’ordinamento didattico e del
regolamento didattico del corso di laurea magistrale, a cui eventualmente si aggiungono indicazioni integrative.

Il Manifesto degli studi del Corso di Laurea Magistrale contiene l'elenco degli insegnamenti attivati per l’anno
accademico in questione. Le schede dei singoli insegnamenti sono pubblicati sul sito web del Corso di Laurea
Magistrale.
