Master's Degree Course in Building Systems Engineering

THE POLIBA MASTER'S DEGREES | BUILDING SYSTEMS ENG.

Skills and curricula

The professional fields of activity of the graduate in Building Systems Engineering refer to:

• design and execution of building complexes, carried out with specific skills in relation to the quality of the work and its feasibility, technological innovation, and procedural issues;
• design and execution of interventions for the recovery of the existing building heritage in relation to the rehabilitation and enhancement of building structures, and the restoration of construction elements and materials;
• design, management, and evaluation of urban and territorial regeneration plans and programs from a perspective of environmental, social, and economic sustainability, openness and inclusiveness of decision-making processes, reduction of risks connected to climate change, and soil protection;
• design and execution of building structures with specific reference to the construction process, both traditional and industrialized, and to the organization and control of execution phases, including the design and control of safety plans;
• planning and management of building production also in relation to aspects of sustainability and energy efficiency.

The two-year degree course is structured, from the second year onward, into two curricula:

• Sustainable Building;
• Recovery and Urban Regeneration.

A Double Degree agreement is active between the Polytechnic University of Bari – DICATECh and theUniversity of Seville – ETSIE which allows students, by following a specific educational path between Bari and Seville, to obtain a double degree:

• the Degree in Building Science and Technology, to be obtained at the end of the first year with thesis defense at ETSIE, US;
• the Master's Degree in Building Systems Engineering, to be obtained at the end of the second year with thesis defense at the Polytechnic.
