2. General presentation of the study programme

2. General presentation of the Study Programme

The construction industry today, though innovative design and construction process, faces challenging tasks: low energy buildings that meet high comfort levels; low environmental impact buildings with high levels of technology and service systems (smart and responsive building, smart environment); low life cycle costs buildings; resilient and safe buildings.

Engineers with a strong scientific background, with a deep technical knowledge and affinity to problems affecting the buildings and the whole built environment are required to deal with this challenge. Building and Construction Engineers are young dynamic engineers, who can follow and, even more, guide transformations in the construction industry.

Building and Construction Engineering (IEC) programme has the ambition to prepare new engineers to manage the complexity characterizing today buildings and their related design, construction, operation, maintenance processes, up to their further transformation or disposal at the end of buildings’ life cycle.

IEC Programme is preparatory to some Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) programmes provided by the School of Architecture Urban Planning Construction Engineering as continuity curricula: Building System Engineering (in Italian), Building and Architectural Engineering and Management of Built Environment (in English).

The first and second year are focused on basic engineering subjects and introduce first construction engineering themes. The third year of the study programme is enhanced by building science and construction engineering courses and by technical application classes. This course catalogue is designed to guide students to choose the best Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to Master of Science) career and/or strengthen the first construction engineering skills for a fast inclusion into the job market as a building technician in support of buildings construction and management.

IEC programme offers, for some first and third year courses, an innovative approach to teaching through the use of active learning methods, teaching in co-operation with the world of enterprise, research bodies and/or institutions and a multidisciplinary approach that allows the resolution of complex problems. During the third year, there will be opportunities for the acquisition of transversal and soft skills; these are MOOCs courses (Massive Online Open Courses on the Polimi Open Knowledge portal - PoK) and extracurricular and curricular seminars/workshops (with possible recognition as traineeships) for the enhancement of the student's aptitudes.

3. Learning objectives

IEC is enrolled in L23 (scienza e tecniche dell’edilizia) Italian classes of Laurea. Generally students graduated in class L23 should:

• adequately master the theoretical and technical aspects related to the disciplinary areas of the course of study;
• adequately know methodological and operational aspects of the chosen study programme’s disciplinary area, and be able to use its methods, techniques and tools appropriately;
• to know, understand and represent buildings in their morphological, typological-functional, structural and geotechnical, plant, materic and technological characteristics, in relation to the physical-environmental, socio-economic and productive context and in accordance with the evolving trends of the construction sector;
• be able to formulate and solve building assets, and built environment related problems through the use of appropriate and innovative tools and techniques;
• use both theoretical and applied knowledge in all the different construction industry fields ensuring professional and flexible responses to the construction sector needs.

The need for this profile arises from the complexity of the design, operational, organizational and management problems that characterize the construction sector and require engineers with a new cultural, scientific and technical knowledge.

7.3 Detailed learning objectives

In the IEC course of study, the traditional scientific bases, centered on the disciplines of mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, history of architecture and representation are integrated with other founding disciplines of building engineering and construction such as building physics, properties of building materials and their behaviour in operation, the structural aspects of building, and other disciplinary in the fields of economics, ergotechnics and hydraulics engineering. On this basis, training is developed in disciplines relating to building engineering and building sciences and techniques, the content of which concerns the quality of the built environment (with appropriate references to the psychophysiology of thermal, acoustic and light wellbeing), environmental impact, building and construction technologies, technological services, maintenance and refurbishment, structural design, aspects related to building production, management of the building process, economic, operational, organisational and legal aspects.
The two-year structure includes theoretical ex cathedra courses (characterized by a mix of teaching and lecture front-exercise) while the third year courses, typical of the construction and building engineering industry, are characterized by lessons, exercises and laboratory activities integrated on the design of a building (project of technical architecture, design of structures, design of plants, design of construction site). The third year of training is aimed at guiding students in the choice of the Master's degree and/or at consolidating the first skills of the construction engineer for an immediate entry into the world of work in support of the construction and management of building products.
The training course is enriched by opportunities for meeting and working with the world of construction production and businesses, professions, workshops and internships.
The course in Building and Construction Engineering aims to train professional figures who, through their interdisciplinary preparation, are able to identify problems and to search for appropriate design solutions (complex problem solving), according to the innovative dynamics of the sector, to improve the quality and safety of buildings in its physical, technical, performance, procedural and economic value.

12. Internationalization

International Mobility

The Politecnico di Milano offers the students various opportunities to spend periods studying abroad. The credits (ECTS) acquired, subject to the approval of a Learning Agreement, are recognized as an integral part of the curriculum.

International mobility may be for study (a) or a Double Degree (b):

a) period of study at partner universities in EU countries (Erasmus) and non-EU countries (bilateral agreements);

b) Double Degree projects with EU and non-EU universities.

Aside from these opportunities, international mobility  periods of variable lengths and natures are also possible, within international networks which the Politecnico is part of (Alliance4Tech, Athens, Idea League, UniTech).

The mobility for study generally lasts one term. It is potentially extendable, if allowed by the agreement with the partner university, for a further term, subject to authorization from the School Bodies (the Politecnico Teachers who promote the mobility for the partner university).

International mobility: polimi

During the mobility for study, it is possible to acquire credits (ECTS) and/or carry out part of the thesis at the partner university. This opportunity for some universities is specified in the call and is coordinated by the proposing professor; where it is not specified, students may nominate a co-supervisor in the partner university, as long as the objectives and content are agreed with the supervisor, who must be a professor of the Politecnico di Milano. The final discussion of the thesis must take place at the Politecnico di Milano.

Students who take part in the Double Degree programme will obtain the Degree title from the Politecnico di Milano as well as from the partner university, after having acquired a total of 150 or 180 ECTS credits - according to the agreement - across the two universities.  Following the discussion of the thesis - in the ways agreed with the partner university - students will be awarded with two degree with two separate marks.

The exams sat abroad are validated in the ways posted on the AUIC School’s website which involve a weighted score conversion tool.

Students who have carried out a period of international mobility for study abroad during their Laurea (Bachelor of Science) can apply again during their Laurea Magistrale (Master of Science).

 

The universities available under the specific agreements for each Programme are posted on the Degree Programme  (Manifesto degli Studi) 

https://www4.ceda.polimi.it/manifesti/manifesti/controller/extra/ScambiInternazionaliPublic.do

Students are requested to read this information before submitting their application.

International mobility is supported by both the Politecnico and the European Union with the payment of a scholarship, the amount of which varies from year to year.

In order to be able to participate in international mobility programmes, either for study or for Double Degrees, students must submit their applications via the call for International Mobility, posted periodically on the Politecnico website and on the AUIC School’s website

Students selected for mobility cannot carry out the exchange during the first term of their first year of their Master Programme.

The selected students must agree with the Professor of Politecnico, Promoter of the partnered university where they have been assigned, a Learning Agreement, i.e. a Study Plan equivalent to the teachings at the foreign university.

The Politecnico does not require a minimum number of ECTS credits, though this may depend on the partner university or on administrative restrictions to obtain a visa that may be necessary for non-EU countries. 

When returning from the mobility for study, a maximum of 62 credits of teachings obtained abroad can be validated.

For students with previous career, the total sum of the credits from previous career and from international mobilitry cannot overcome the number of 112 credits.

For students who have not been selected for international mobility but who nonetheless wish to work on their thesis abroad, financial support is available thanks to the “Tesi all’estero” scholarship posted on the Politecnico di Milano website and the AUIC School’s website

Scholarships Tesi all'estero: polimi

 International Mobility for Internships

The Erasmus+ for Traineeship Programme allows students to do an internship (which can replace the obligatory internship, or as an optional internship or post-graduate internship) in Europe of a minimum duration of 2 months thanks to a scholarship funded by the European Commission. https://cm.careerservice.polimi.it/career-program/erasmus-for-traineeship/

 

“FREE MOVER" mobility

Students who carry out an international mobility by organizing their own study period abroad are defined as "free movers".

This international mobility is not linked to an exchange program organized by Politecnico di Milano.

The freemover mobility must be approved, for the purpose of the recognition of credits and further constraints, by a referent of your course of study and will be recognized only the activities of:

- teaching attendance

- performance of thesis work

For information, students can contact the International Mobility Unit – Via Golgi 42, Milan

In relation to graduation sessions, workshops completed at least one month before the student's chosen graduation session will be credited for career purposes.

It will not be possible to accredit a workshop carried out during the three-year degree course within the master's degree, or if the workshop was carried out as a supernumerary activity during the three-year degree course, request its recognition in the new master's career.
