Educational goals and objectives

ENVIRONMENTAL AND HYDRAULIC ENGINEERING
The Ph.D. course in Environmental and Hydraulic Engineering belongs to the Ph.D. School of Civil Engineering and Architecture. The Ph.D. course consists of two curricula: one in Environmental Engineering and one in Hydraulic Engineering.
The aim of the Ph.D. course in Environmental and Hydraulic Engineering is the education of high-level professional profiles and researchers, which are able to deep the representations in fluid mechanics, hydraulics and environmental engineering and to associate the understanding of the natural phenomena to the ability of abstracting (by theoretical, numerical and physical models) original quantitative representations to design engineering works and evaluate their impacts in the context of the Civil, Environmental and Hydraulic Engineering.
In the curriculum in Hydraulic Engineering, the research themes are: fluid mechanics; dynamic of turbulence; hydraulics of distribution networks; maritime hydraulic; hydraulics structures; maritime structures; hydrology; defense of the coastline; simulation of the free-surface flows in presence of shock; two-phase flows; turbidity currents; minimum flow rate downstream from a reservoir; dynamic of the large water bodies; two-dimensional and three-dimensional turbulence; optical methods for the relief of the fluid velocity and density; instability in fluid mechanics; bioengineering; arteriovenous circulation; atmospheric boundary layer; dispersion of pollutants; laboratory simulation of fluids in a rotating frame; land and sea breezes, slope winds and heat islands; porous media; hydrogeology; modification of the design criteria in hydraulics due to climate change.
In the curriculum in Environmental Engineering, the main research themes are: remediation of contaminated sites; mechanical characterization of the solid waste; hydrological and slope instability; planning, forecast and management of the flood events; remote-sensing; planning, forecast and management of the atmospheric pollution; recovery, reuse and recycling of waste materials; naturalistic engineering technique; wastewater treatment and reuse; drinking water treatment; treatment and disposal of solid wastes; water pollution control.
The Ph.D. course lasts three years. The first year is mainly devoted to acquire theoretical basis and knowledge of methodologies by courses, seminars and conferences. A specific research topic is also selected and a supervisor, from the Academic Board, is assigned to the Ph.D. student. The transition to the second year is made by a verification of the activities done. The second and third years are devoted to the development of the specific research project, supervised by the supervisor.

Admission Procedure

Written examination The written test consists of a report edited by the candidate on a topic of either environmental or hydraulic engineering. The candidate is obliged to choose the topic related to the curriculum that he has indicated in the application form. The topics are of general character in order to allow candidates of different backgrounds to show their attitude to the Ph.D. Course. The maximum score for the written test is 60.
In particular, it will be evaluated:
• the knowledge and competence of the candidate about the topic of the written test, consistently with the objectives of the Call (up to 30 points);
• the completeness of the arguments and the clarity of the text (up to 30 points).
The written test is carried out in the Italian language.
language ITALIANO

Oral interview Only candidates which have obtained at least 40/60 in the written test will be admitted to the oral test. The oral test consists of a discussion between the candidate and the Committee to verify his knowledge and skills on the topics related to the curriculum indicated in the application form.
In particular it will be evaluated:
• the knowledge of the candidate about the topics related to the curriculum indicated in the application form (up to 30 points);
• the in-depth knowledge and ability in clarifying the aspects concerning the written test (up 30 points).
The oral test is considered overcame if the candidate obtains at least 40/60.
The oral test is carried out in Italian. Furthermore, the candidate will have to show his knowledge of the English language through reading and comprehension of a part of an English book.
language ITALIANO

Research proposal For foreign candidates, the selection will be carried out through the oral discussion of the research proposal.
The research proposal must highlight backgrounds, objectives and methodologies of the selected topic. The candidate must demonstrate clear abilities to design, organize and develop the scientific research in total autonomy.
The full text must not exceed 8,000 characters (including spaces, font times new roman). This project, which must be submitted by the foreign candidates in order to take part to the
call, will not be considered compulsory for the research theme selection of the winner participants.
