PIACENZA CAMPUS

The Piacenza Campus is one of the Campuses of the Politecnico di Milano. The University, founded in 1863, today has more than 45,000 students, and trains engineers, architects and designers. The Politecnico di Milano has always placed great emphasis on quality and innovation in teaching and research, developing a profitable relationship with the business and production sector through experimental research and the transfer of technology.1987 saw the initiation of a process of regional diffusion of the University, which led to the opening of the Cam-puses in Como (1987), Lecco (1989), Cremona (1991), Mantua (1994) and Piacenza (1997), with the aim of inter-acting with the communities and local production entities. The Piacenza Campus was established with the aim of achieving a positive synergy between teaching, research and technology transfer.

The Piacenza’s business and production situation is made up of large numbers of companies, bodies and institutions operating in the mechanical and energy

sector and in the field of sustainable architecture and landscape design. Precisely because of this strong link with the region, Piacenza offers Laurea (equivalent to B.Sc.) and Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to M.Sc.) programmes in Architecture, Mechanical Engineering and Energy Engineering.

As a confirmation of this link, many local institutions support the Politecnico through the Polipiacenza Association: Fondazione di Piacenza e Vigevano, Chamber of Commerce, Confindustria Piacenza, Municipality of Piacenza, Province of Piacenza, Regione Emilia Romagna; Banca of Piacenza.

The two Campuses in Piacenza occupy a total area of 7,000 sqm. Several services are offered to students:

• classrooms with computers, open from 7.30 am, one of which can be used until midnight;

• laboratories to support teaching;• a library, also open on Saturdays

and Sundays;• halls of residence on Campus.

The Laurea (equivalent to B.Sc.) programme in Architectural Design provides training in architecture in its logical-formal, historical, aesthetic, constructive, technological and representational aspects. The architectural project involves different areas and scales of application: the city, the landscape, buildings, the built environment, and interiors. The training course provides for a constant comparison with the complexity of the processes of transformation of the built environment in contemporary settlement contexts.

The studies include all the scientific, humanistic and artistic disciplines that characterise the know-how, tools, skills and abilities of an architect. The path is characterised by the centrality of the project experience, founded on the integration and synthesis of disciplines, promoting synergy between laboratories and courses for the study

of architectural disciplines in their humanistic, artistic and technical-scientific aspects, and those that can integrate and enrich the architect’s areas of expertise. The training course is completed with an internship. At the Piacenza Campus, the educational offer of the Laurea in Architectural Design features common learning objectives and results, with teaching also taking place at the Milano and Mantova Campuses. During the third year, consistent with the cultural project of the Campus, the learning experience of the Final Design workshops and elective courses focus on the themes of environmental sustainability and the design of the landscape and open spaces.

Graduates in Architectural Design are offered professional opportunities at institutions and bodies, public and private companies, professional firms, and design companies. After passing

PIACENZA CAMPUS

Energy engineering is the industrial engineering sector that deals with the design and management of energy plants and their components.

Processes, plants and individual equipment are analysed, in pursuit of a multitude of objectives: not only functionality, reliability, profitability, safety and good performance, but also the intelligent use of resources and a reduced environmental impact.

In this context, energy technologies play an increasingly important role in the exploitation of renewable energy sources and the reduction of the environmental impact of fossil fuels.

The professional required to achieve these objectives must be able to

combine a solid knowledge of energy conversion processes with a mastery of the mathematical tools needed to optimise them, along with the ability to assess their sustainability.

Energy engineers must focus on a scientific and technological evolution that is respectful of the Environment, as this is a fundamental component of sustainable energy and industrial policies, which in turn are indispensable to ensure for humanity a growing and balanced welfare.

The "Renewables and Environmental Sustainability" study plan taught at the Piacenza Campus includes a special training course that aims to train professionals with skills that are transversal to the issues of Energy and the Environment:
