Overview

The Engineering for the Energy Transition master’s degree program, in English, aims to equip students with the skills necessary to address the energy transition, both in the field of building systems and in the industrial sector, through two specific curricula: Sustainable Building Design and Technology and Sustainable Industrial Systems.

The program is based on a strongly multidisciplinary experimental approach characterized by laboratory activities, and provides students with the tools necessary to comprehend both technical and technological aspects related to materials, components, and the complex building/energy plants system, as well as their interaction and integration with the environment in which they are embedded, and the contextual aspects of the transition related to administrative, economic, and social issues.
The program therefore trains professionals capable of operating in the field of energy design and management of building systems and in the industrial sector. The program offers a set of skills that are useful for acquiring the technical and cultural expertise necessary to occupy positions of responsibility in the field of design, coordination, and management, both as freelancers and at companies and public or private entities, including research companies.

Programme structure

The Study Plan is the path that includes all the educational activities (courses, laboratories, etc.) that must be carried out in order to obtain the degree.

Career opportunities

Graduates possess a technical and cultural background that qualifies them for roles of high responsibility, thanks to a solid foundation in both basic and technical aspects characterized by strong interdisciplinary skills. Employment opportunities for engineers specializing in energy transition are found within all organizations obligated to appoint a responsible individual for the conservation and rational use of energy. This includes roles in the adaptation of industrial processes, building structures, and facilities to make them sustainable from an energy, economic, and environmental perspective. Additionally, opportunities extend to freelance work, design firms, research institutions, public and private entities, as well as companies and industries operating in the fields of energy, industrial processes, and construction.
