Seat Ingegneria
A.A. 2016/2017
Credits 9
Hours 72
Period II
Language ENG

Prerequisites
Courses of “Analisi” and “Fisica”

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course will give training upon applied thermodynamics concerning energy production management and consumption, including new sources and techniques. The course will also give training about heat transfer theories (focusing on the options and the techniques to save energy) and general education about environmental-management standard practices.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Students will be given the knowhow and the practice to reduce energy footprints and carbon footprints, to reduce heat and energy losses and to apply environmental-management good practices also through environmental certification.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
A full understanding and in-deep knowledge of energy and environmental management are nowadays an education of relevant importance. Indeed, environmental certification is the (almost-twin) sister of quality certification. Such certifications have possibly the most widespread applications on both public sector and private companies.
