9795482 - INFRASTRUTTURE PER IL TERRITORIO
Expected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
The main goal is to provide tools to design sustainable infrastructure assets, using the methodologies and the latest techniques in the field
Applying knowledge and understanding
Ability to design an infrastructure for soft-mobility.
Making judgements
Stimulating autonomous choices through the exposition of different solutions for each problem, in order to induce the student to elaborate original solutions as a synthesis of the proposed case studies.
Communication skills
Improving the ability to interact with professionals through the acquisition of adequate technical terminology.
Learning skills
Improving the ability to identify and deepen the main issue of each subject.
Course Structure
The course will take place through lectures and practice exercises aimed at drafting a short stretch of greenway.
Should the course be carried out by distance learning or in hybrid mode, the necessary changes could be introduced in order to comply with the program reported in the syllabus.
Learning assessment may also be carried out on line, should the conditions require it.
