Máster en Ingeniería Energética

The Master Degree in Energy Engineering was created in 2009, transforming the "Specialist Degree" Course of the same denomination, activated in 2006. The Course is the result of a cultural project that led to the stipulation of an agreement between the University of Sannio and the University of Naples Federico II: despite the fact that the course is based in Benevento, the agreement with the Federico II University makes it possible to broaden the spectrum of skills available for teaching, and also to make research facilities (laboratories) of the University of Naples available to students.

That said, the cultural structure of the Master's Degree offers a broad and balanced spectrum in the three main reference areas (chemical, electrical and thermomechanical engineering). The course is therefore aimed at forming an engineer operating as a self-employed professional/consultant or as an employee of public and private institutions, with a complete preparation in the sector, capable of entering into an operational context that is very diversified in terms of dimensions and types and is characterized by rapid evolution both from the technological point of view and from that of work organization.

The curricular activities related to the basic disciplines are aimed at integrating the methodological and operational knowledge of mathematics and other basic sciences, bringing them to a level sufficient to face problems of modeling and experimental analysis of the complex physical and chemical phenomena involved in energy transformations.

Characterizing and related training activities provide the methodological and operational knowledge of energy engineering and allow the attainment of a good degree of in-depth analysis of some specific problems, also taking into account innovative technologies and the most up-to-date analysis tools.

At the end of the course of studies, the graduate in energy engineering will know in depth the theoretical and scientific aspects of both mathematics and other basic sciences and engineering, with particular reference to those of energy engineering, in which it is capable of identifying, formulating and solving, even in an innovative way, complex problems or those requiring an interdisciplinary approach. He/she will also be able to conceive, plan, design, and manage complex and/or innovative systems, processes, and services, using adequate and up-to-date methods, techniques, and tools, while at the same time presenting the issues relating to safety and compliance with the environment and territory, aspects of corporate culture and professional ethics.

With reference to professional skills, the course aims at a deepening of knowledge mainly in the field of planning, analysis, and control of civil and industrial energy plants. Outgoing preparation involves the knowledge of at least one European Union language in addition to Italian, and adequate computer skills that enable the graduate to use the tools currently available and to follow the evolution of technologies in the information sector.

The university campus of Benevento made up of the Departments of Law, Economics, Management, and Quantitative Methods, Engineering, Sciences and Technologies, born as a branch of the University of Salerno, acquired full administrative and didactic autonomy starting from 1 January 1998 (DM 29 / 12/1997) as the University of Sannio of Benevento.

Within the framework of national university training, the Samnite University is distinguished by a complex cultural project, characterized, on the one hand, by highly specialized training courses, such as to qualify it as a center of national importance for certain disciplinary fields; on the other hand, from the promotional role that the University proposes in the process of development of the economic and social system of Campania, and in particular of its internal areas.

The choice of a hypothesis for the establishment of university structures (Rectorate, Administrative Direction, Faculty Presidencies, Libraries, Teaching classrooms, Guest quarters, Canteen, Language Center, Computer laboratory) according to a logic of strong integration with the territory, therefore, becomes an indispensable step for the creation of that University - City system which summarizes the best Italian university tradition and which expresses, first of all, a specific cultural option with a high civil commitment, destined to enhance all the pre-existing potentialities in the area, urban planning, building and social.
