Art. 1 Premise and area of competence

This Regulation, in accordance with the Statute and the University Degree Regulation (general part
and special part), disciplines the organisational aspects of the teaching activity of the Master’s
degree course in Energy Engineering, as well as any other subject devolved to it by other legislative
and regulatory sources.
The Degree Regulation of the Master’s degree course in Energy Engineering is resolved, pursuant
to article 25, paragraphs 1 and 4 of the University Degree Regulation, general part, by the Degree
Programme Board (DPB) of Energy Engineering to the majority of the members and submitted for
the approval of the Board of the DIME Department, after consultation with the Polytechnic School,
with the prior favourable opinion of the Joint Committee of the School.
The resolutions of the DPB can also be taken in telematic mode according to the above-mentioned
regulations and, in particular, of Article 14 "meetings with telematic mode" of the current General
Regulation of the University (in force since 19/12/2018).

Art. 2 Admission requirements and procedures for verifying individual preparation

Admission to the Master's degree course in Energy Engineering is subject to the possession of
specific curriculum requirements and adequate personal preparation.
In order to be admitted to the Master's Degree in Energy Engineering, all following requirements,
without exception, are required:
- possession of a degree, Master's degree, referred to Ministerial Decree 509/1999 or
Ministerial Decree 270/2004, or a five-year degree (prior to Ministerial Decree 509/1999),
obtained at an Italian University or equivalent qualifications;

- possession of at least 36 ECTS, or equivalent knowledge, acquired in any university course

(bachelor's degree, master's degree, five-year degree, first and second level university
1
 master's degrees) in the disciplinary-scientific sectors (SSD) indicated for the basic training
activities of class degrees L-9 Industrial Engineering;

- possession of at least 45 ECTS, or equivalent knowledge, acquired in any university course

(bachelor's degree, master's degree, five-year master's degree, first and second level
university master's degree) in the disciplinary-scientific sectors indicated for the training
activities characterising engineering class degrees L-9 Industrial Engineering;

- adequate knowledge of the English language equal to B2 level.

In case of possession of degrees different from those indicated above and in case of foreign students
the DPB will verify the presence of curricular requirements or equivalent knowledge on the basis of
the exams taken by the student during the degree course of origin, as well as the presence of any
extracurricular exams, internship activities and work experience acquired.
The curricular requirements must be met before individual preparation can be checked. In order to
be admitted to the Master’s degree course, students in possession of the curriculum requirements
must successfully undergo a test to verify their personal preparation, except in the cases provided
for in the last paragraph. The test will be carried out in the form of a written test (also through a
telematic mode, if necessary) and will be aimed at ascertaining the general preparation of the student
with particular reference to the knowledge of fundamental notions and of applicative and professional
aspects related to engineering issues, including:
- Energy Systems and Machines
- Applied Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer
- Electric Systems
- Chemical Processes
The test will be held in front of a Committee appointed by the DPB and composed of professors
belonging to the DPB.
The composition of the Examination Committee, the methods of the test, the place and date of the
test, the subjects to be examined and the evaluation criteria of the candidates are indicated in the
Notice of Admission to the Polytechnic School's Master’s degree courses and on the website of the
Master’s degree course.
The result of the test involves a vote in sixtieths. The written test includes 30 closed questions, which
are awarded 2 points if the answer is correct, -0.5 points if the answer is incorrect and 0 points if
there is no answer. The admission test is considered passed by a vote equal to or greater than thirty-
sixtieths (36/60). The adequacy of personal preparation is automatically verified for those who have
obtained a Bachelor's degree, Italian or foreign, or a qualification judged equivalent according to
what has been indicated about the assessment of curricular requirements, with a final grade of at
least 9/10 of the maximum grade provided for by their degree or who have obtained a final grade
corresponding at least to the "A" classification of the ECTS system.
Adequate knowledge of the English language is verified by appropriate certificates in the student's
possession, achieved no more than 3 years before, or, in the absence thereof, by verification by the
University Languages Centre (Settore Sviluppo Competenze Linguistiche di Ateneo). Possession of
an English language degree satisfies the requirement of linguistic knowledge, but it is anyway
suggested to pass the B2 English test, periodically organised by the University Languages Centre.
For non-EU citizens with residence abroad and foreign degree, the application for a Master program
of the University of Genoa taught in English must be submitted through a dedicated web portal,
selected and adequately promoted by the University. Following the upload of the documents, a check
is made about their completeness. Candidates who pass the eligibility check move on to the next
stage concerning the assessment of qualifications and the final evaluation, after which the student
will be assessed as accepted, conditionally accepted (allocation of bridge careers) or rejected.

2
The maximum allowed number of registered non-EU students is established by the DPB every year,
communicated to the University International Student Office (Settore Accoglienza Studenti Stranieri
di Ateneo) and published on the Universitaly website.

Art. 3 Training activities

The list of the teaching units and other possible training activities, in the cohort 2022-2023, is given
in the appropriate annex (Annex 1) which constitutes an integral part of this regulation. A responsible
professor is identified for each teaching unit. A professor is responsible for teaching whoever is in
charge of teaching according to the law, i.e. the one to whom the relative Department Board has
attributed the responsibility itself when assigning teaching tasks to professors.
The language used to provide training activities (lessons, exercises, workshops) shall be Italian or
another EU language, where expressly decided by the DPB.
Annex 1 to this regulation specifies the language in which each training activity is carried out.

Art. 4 Enrolment in individual training activities

In accordance with Article 5 of the University Regulations for students, students enrolling in individual
training activities must have a qualification granting access to the university.

Art. 5 Curricula
The Master’s degree course in Energy Engineering is not structured in curricula.

Art. 6 Total time commitment

The definition of the hourly fraction dedicated to lessons or equivalent teaching activities is
established, for each teaching unit, by the DPB and specified in the special part of the regulation. In
any case the following interval of variability of the between classroom hours/ECTS is assumed: 8 ÷
10 hours of lesson or assisted teaching activity.
The definition of the assumed total time commitment, reserved for personal study or other training
activities of an individual type, is laid down, for each teaching unit, in the annex (Annex 1) to this
regulation.
The director of the DIME Department and the coordinator of the DPB shall be responsible for verifying
compliance with the above requirements, including for the publication of course programmes.

Art. 7 Study plans and prerequisites

Students can enrol full-time or part-time; for the two types of student there are different rights and
duties.
The student chooses the type of registration simultaneously with the presentation of the study plan.
The full-time student carries out his training activity considering the study plan prepared by the
degree course, which is distinguished by years of the course programme and published in the
Degree Programme Table of the degree course. The study plan formulated by the student must
contain an indication of the training activities, with the relative credits that he intends to achieve,
provided by the official study plan for this teaching period, up to a maximum of 65 credits provided
in each year.
The part-time student is required to submit an individual study plan specifying the number of credits
he intends to enter.
In the absence of the completion of the study plan by the due date, a standard plan will be uploaded
ex officio, except in cases where it is planned to complete an individual study plan (e.g. change of
course of study, previous part-time individual study plan).
The enrolment of full-time and part-time students is regulated by the University Regulations for
students considering the operational provisions resolved by the Central government bodies and
indicated in the Student Guide (published annually on the University's website). The educational path
of the student was organized according to propaedeutic criteria, indicated in the Teaching
Programmed Offer. The method and deadline for the presentation of the study plan are established
annually by the Polytechnic School and reported in the Degree Programme Table.
3
The Course of Study may, by express and reasoned resolution, authorise students who have
demonstrated particularly high academic performance in the previous academic year to include in
their study plan more than 65 credits, but in any case, not more than 75.
"Particularly high performance" means that the student has passed all the exams of his/her study
plan by the month of September.
The study plan, which has a shorter duration than the normal one, is approved by the Degree
Programme Board.
The method and deadline for the presentation of the study plan are established annually by the
Polytechnic School and reported in the Degree Programme Table - Engineering Area.

Art. 8 Attending the Classes and Teaching activity Methods

The courses take the form of: (a) lectures, including distance learning by telematic means; (b)
practical exercises; (c) laboratory exercises (d) thematic seminars.
The articulated profile and the demanding nature of the lessons taught in the Course of Study make
the attendance to the training activities strongly recommended for an adequate understanding of the
topics and therefore for a good success in the exams.
The schedule of classes is divided into semesters. As a rule, the semester is divided into at least 12
weeks of lesson plus at least 4 weeks overall for verification tests and profit exams.
The period for profit exams ends with the beginning of the lessons of the following semester.
The lesson schedule for the entire academic year is published on the Course of Study's website
before the start of the lessons of the academic year. The schedule of classes guarantees the
possibility of attendance based on the years of the course programme provided for by the current
Degree Programme Table. For practical reasons, the compatibility of the timetable for all formally
possible optional teaching choices is not guaranteed. Students must then formulate their study plan
taking into account the time of the lessons.

Art. 9 Examinations and other profit exams

Profit exams can be carried out in written, oral, or written and oral, according to the methods indicated
in the sheets of each teaching unit published on the website of the Master’s degree course.
On request, specific learning verification arrangements may be provided which take into account the
needs of disabled students and students with specific learning disorders (D. S. A.), in accordance
with art. 20 paragraph 4 of the University Degree Regulation.
In the case of teaching units structured in modules with several professors, they participate collegially
in the overall evaluation of the student's profit which cannot, however, be split into separate
evaluations on the individual modules.
The calendar of profit exams is established by September 30th for the following academic year and
is published on the website of the Degree Course. The calendar of any intermediate verification tests
is established by the DPB and communicated to the students at the beginning of each teaching cycle.
Examinations are held in periods of interruption of classes. Examinations may be planned during the
period of the classes only for students who, in the current academic year, have not included training
activities in their study plan.
All profit examinations of training activities must be passed by the student at least twenty days before
the expected date for taking the graduation exam.
The result of the examination, with the vote obtained, is verbalized in accordance with art. 20 of the
University Degree Regulation.

Art. 10 Recognition of credits

The Degree Course decides on the approval of applications for change or transfer from another
degree course of the university or other universities in accordance with the rules provided for in the
University Degree Regulation, art. 18. It also decides the recognition, as training credits, for a
maximum number of 12 ECTS, of professional knowledge and skills certified in accordance with the
current legislation.

4
The evaluation of applications for change will take into account the didactic specificities and the
actuality of the educational content of the individual exams taken, reserving to establish from time to
time any forms of verification and supplementary exams.
Within the framework of the national and regional legislation on alternance education/work, it is
possible for the course of study to provide, for selected students, learning paths that also take into
account work experience carried out at companies under contract.

Art. 11 Mobility, studies abroad, international exchanges

The DPB strongly encourages internationalisation activities, in particular student participation in
mobility and international exchange programmes. For this purpose, it shall ensure, in accordance
with the rules in force, the recognition of the training credits obtained within these programmes and
shall organise the training activities as appropriate in such a way as to make these activities easier
and effective.
The DPB recognizes enrolled students, who have regularly completed a period of study abroad, the
exams taken off-site and the achievement of the related credits with which the student intends to
replace the exams of his own study plan.
For the purposes of the recognitions of these examinations, the student at the time of the compilation
of the plan of training activities, he intends to follow abroad, must produce suitable documentation
proving the equivalence of content between the teaching unit abroad and the teaching unit that
intends to replace taught in the Master’s degree course in Energy Engineering. Equivalence shall be
evaluated by the DPB.
The conversion of marks will take place according to criteria approved by the DPB, in accordance
with the European ECTS system. The DPB also recognises, within the credits attributed to the final
examination (Master Thesis), a portion relating to the preparation of the thesis and related research
and/or internship activities carried out abroad in one of the international university programmes (e.g.
Erasmus Traineeship), according to the criteria adopted by the DPB in its resolutions on the proposal
of the Polytechnic School.

Art. 12 Procedures for the final examination and knowledge of the foreign language
The final examination consists in the presentation and discussion of a written thesis before a special
Committee, aimed at ascertaining the candidate's technical-scientific and professional preparation.
For the purposes of obtaining a Master's Degree, the final examination consists of the writing of a
thesis, elaborated by the student in an original way under the guidance of one or more supervisors,
on a subject defined as relevant to a discipline for which he or she has passed the exam.
In any case, the supervisors must include at least one lecturer from the Polytechnic School or the
DPB.
The thesis will be carried out in English; in case of use of another EU language, the authorization of
the DPB is required. In these cases, the thesis must be accompanied by the title and an extensive
summary in Italian.
The thesis, carried out in university laboratories, companies and national and international research
institutes, must reveal the student's ability to deal with research and/or application issues. The thesis
must consist of a project and/or the development of an application that proposes innovative solutions
with respect to the state of the art and demonstrates the student's analytical and design skills.
The thesis must also reveal:
- ability to deal with complex problems with a multidisciplinary approach
- correct use of sources and bibliography;
- systematic and argumentative skills;
- clarity in the exposition;
- design and experimental skills;
- critical skills.
The Committee for the final examination is composed of at least five members including the
Committee president and is appointed by the Director of the DIME Department.
5
The procedure for the final examination consists of the oral presentation of the degree thesis by the
student to the Final Examination Committee, followed by a discussion of any questions raised by the
members of the Committee.
The evaluation of the final examination by the Committee takes place, in the event of passing the
final exam, by assigning an increase, varying from 0 to 6 points, of which 4 points as evaluation of
the final examination and 2 points related to the peculiarities of the thesis work (methodological
originality and relevance of the results) and/or as evaluation of the student's career (marks with
laude, periods of study abroad with recognition of credits and periods of study abroad for the thesis).
The recommendation for publication for the master thesis work can be requested by the supervisor
to the members of the Degree Committee by letter, sent at least 15 days before the graduation
session, explaining the reasons for the request. Requests are eligible for which the thesis work,
thanks to the candidate's contribution, may form the basis for scientific articles at conferences or in
international journals. The request must be accompanied by a thesis summary of about 10 pages,
structured as a scientific article. The recommendation for publication is attributed by unanimous vote
of the Committee to the degree session.

Art. 13 Guidance services and tutoring

The Polytechnic School, in agreement with the DIME Department, organizes and manages a tutoring
service for the welcome and support of students, in order to prevent dispersion and delay in studies
and to promote a profitable active participation in university life in all its forms.
The DPB identifies within it a number of tutors in proportion to the number of students enrolled. The
names of the tutors can be found on the website of the Master’s degree course.

Art. 14 Verification of obsolescence of credits

University training credits (ECTS) acquired within the framework of the degree course can be subject
to obsolescence verification after 6 years. If the DPB recognizes the obsolescence of even a single
part of the relative educational content, the DPB itself establishes the supplementary tests that must
be taken by the student, defining the topics, the methods of verification, the composition of the
Examination Committee.
Once the required tests have been passed, the DPB validates the credits acquired with a resolution.
If the related training activity provides for a vote, it may be varied from the one previously obtained,
on a proposal from the Examination Committee which carried out the verification.

Art. 15 Degree Programme Table

The DIME Department, after consulting the Polytechnic School, approves and publishes annually
the Degree Programme Table. In the Degree Programme Table are indicated the main provisions of
the didactic system and the didactic regulation of the Master’s degree course, to which additional
information may be added.
The Degree Programme Table of the Master’s degree course in Energy Engineering contains the list

Art. 2. Requisiti di ammissione e modalità di verifica della preparazione individuale

L'ammissione alla Laurea Magistrale in Energy Engineering è subordinata al possesso di specifici
requisiti curricolari e di adeguatezza della preparazione personale.
Per l'accesso al Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Energy Engineering sono richiesti, senza esclusione,
tutti i seguenti requisiti curricolari:
- possesso di Laurea, Laurea Specialistica o Laurea Magistrale, di cui al DM 509/1999 o DM
270/2004, oppure di una Laurea quinquennale (ante DM 509/1999), conseguita presso una
Università italiana o titolo equivalente;
- possesso di almeno 36 CFU, o conoscenze equivalenti, acquisiti in un qualunque corso
universitario (Laurea, Laurea Specialistica, Laurea Magistrale, Master Universitari di primo e
secondo livello) nei settori scientifico-disciplinari indicati per le attività formative di base previste
dalle Lauree della Classe L9-Ingegneria Industriale;

1
- possesso di almeno 45 CFU, o conoscenze equivalenti, acquisiti in un qualunque corso
universitario (Laurea, Laurea Specialistica, Laurea Magistrale, Master Universitari di primo e
secondo livello) nei settori scientifico-disciplinari indicati per le attività formative caratterizzanti
delle Lauree della Classe L9-Ingegneria Industriale;
- adeguata conoscenza della lingua inglese pari a livello B2 o equivalente.
Nel caso di possesso di lauree differenti da quelle sopra indicate e in caso di studenti stranieri il
CCS verificherà la presenza dei requisiti curricolari o delle conoscenze equivalenti, sulla base degli
esami sostenuti dallo studente nel corso di laurea di provenienza, nonché la presenza di eventuali
esami extracurricolari, le attività di stage e le esperienze lavorative maturate.
I requisiti curricolari devono essere posseduti prima della verifica della preparazione individuale. Ai
fini dell’ammissione al corso di laurea magistrale, gli studenti, in possesso dei requisiti curricolari,
dovranno sostenere con esito positivo una prova per la verifica della preparazione personale, salvo
i casi disposti dall'ultimo comma. La prova di verifica sarà svolta sotto forma di test scritto
(eventualmente anche in modalità telematica) e sarà finalizzata ad accertare la preparazione
generale dello studente con particolare riferimento alla conoscenza di nozioni fondamentali e di
aspetti applicativi e professionali relativi alle tematiche proprie dell’ingegneria, tra cui:
- Sistemi Energetici e Macchine
- Fisica Tecnica
- Sistemi Elettrici
- Processi Chimici
La prova è sostenuta davanti ad una Commissione nominata dal CCS e composta da docenti
afferenti al CCS. Nell’ avviso per Ammissione ai corsi di Laurea magistrale della Scuola Politecnica
e sul sito web del corso di laurea magistrale sono indicati: la composizione della Commissione
d’esame, le modalità della prova, il luogo e la data, gli argomenti oggetto d’esame, i criteri di
valutazione dei candidati. L'esito della prova prevede una votazione in sessantesimi. La prova scritta
prevede 30 domande chiuse, a cui vengono assegnati 2 punti se la risposta è corretta, -0,5 punti se
la risposta è errata e 0 punti in caso di nessuna risposta. La prova di ammissione si intende superata
per votazione uguale o maggiore di trentasei sessantesimi (36/60). L’adeguatezza della preparazione
personale è automaticamente verificata per coloro che hanno conseguito la laurea triennale, italiana od
estera, o titolo giudicato equivalente in sede di accertamento dei requisiti curricolari, con una votazione
finale di almeno 9/10 del voto massimo previsto dalla propria laurea o che hanno conseguito una
votazione finale corrispondente almeno alla classifica “A” del sistema ECTS.
L'adeguata conoscenza della lingua inglese è verificata tramite opportune attestazioni in possesso
dello studente, conseguite da non più di 3 anni, o, in assenza di esse, tramite verifica da parte del
Settore Sviluppo Competenze Linguistiche di Ateneo. Il possesso di una laurea in lingua inglese
soddisfa il requisito della conoscenza linguistica, ma è in ogni caso consigliato il superamento del
test inglese B2 periodicamente organizzato dal suddetto Settore.

Per gli studenti di nazionalità extra-UE, con residenza e titolo di studio esteri, la procedura di
presentazione della propria candidatura ai fini della verifica dell’ammissibilità ad una LM in inglese
deve passare attraverso un portale web dedicato, selezionato dall’Ateneo e adeguatamente
pubblicizzato. A seguito del caricamento della documentazione nel portale viene effettuata la
verifica della completezza dei documenti.
I candidati che superano la verifica dei requisiti passano alla fase successiva, relativa alla
valutazione dei titoli e alla valutazione finale del candidato, a valle della quale lo studente verrà
ritenuto ammissibile, ammissibile sotto condizione (attribuzione di carriere ponte) o non ammissibile.
Il numero massimo ammissibile di studenti iscritti provenienti da paesi non appartenenti all'Unione
Europea viene stabilito annualmente dal CCS, comunicato al Settore Accoglienza Studenti Stranieri
di Ateneo e pubblicato sul sito Universitaly.

Art. 3. Attività formative
L’elenco degli insegnamenti e delle altre attività formative attivabili per la coorte 2022/2023, è
riportato nell’apposito allegato (Allegato 1) che costituisce parte integrante del presente
regolamento.
Per ogni insegnamento è individuato un docente responsabile. E’ docente responsabile di un
insegnamento chi ne sia titolare a norma di legge, ovvero colui al quale il Consiglio di Dipartimento
di afferenza abbia attribuito la responsabilità stessa in sede di affidamento dei compiti didattici ai
docenti.
La lingua usata per erogare le attività formative (lezioni, esercitazioni, laboratori) è l’inglese come
specificato nella parte speciale del presente regolamento (Allegato 1).

Art. 4 Iscrizione a singole attività formative

In conformità con l’articolo 5 del Regolamento di Ateneo, gli studenti che vogliano iscriversi a singole
attività formative, devono essere in possesso di un titolo di studio che permetta l'accesso
all'Università.

Art. 5. Curricula
Il corso di laurea magistrale in Energy Engineering non è articolato in curricula.

Art. 6. Impegno orario complessivo

La definizione della frazione oraria dedicata a lezioni o attività didattiche equivalenti è stabilita, per
ogni insegnamento, dal CCS e specificata nella parte speciale del presente regolamento (Allegato
1). In ogni caso si assumono i seguenti intervalli di variabilità della corrispondenza ore aula/ CFU:
8 ÷ 10 ore di lezione o di attività didattica assistita.
La definizione dell’impegno orario complessivo riservato allo studio personale o ad altre attività
formative di tipo individuale è stabilita, per ogni insegnamento, nella parte speciale del presente
regolamento (Allegato 1).
Il Direttore del Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica, Energetica, Gestionale e dei Trasporti e il
Coordinatore del CCS sono incaricati di verificare il rispetto delle predette prescrizioni, anche ai fini
della pubblicazione dei programmi dei corsi.

Art. 7. Piani di studio e propedeuticità

Gli studenti possono iscriversi a tempo pieno o a tempo parziale; per le due tipologie di studente
sono previsti differenti diritti e doveri.
Lo studente sceglie la tipologia di iscrizione contestualmente alla presentazione del piano di studi.
Lo studente a tempo pieno svolge la propria attività formativa tenendo conto del piano di studio
predisposto dal corso di laurea magistrale, distinto per anni di corso e pubblicato nel Manifesto degli
studi. Il piano di studio formulato dallo studente deve contenere l’indicazione delle attività formative,
con i relativi crediti che intende conseguire, previsti dal piano di studio ufficiale per tale periodo
didattico, fino ad un massimo di 65 crediti previsti in ogni anno.
Lo studente a tempo parziale è tenuto a presentare un piano di studio individuale specificando il
numero di crediti che intende inserire.
L’iscrizione degli studenti a tempo pieno e a tempo parziale è disciplinata dal regolamento di Ateneo
per gli studenti tenuto conto delle disposizioni operative deliberate dagli Organi centrali di governo
ed indicate nella Guida dello studente (pubblicata annualmente e disponibile presso il Servizio
Orientamento, lo Sportello dello Studente della Scuola Politecnica e sul sito web dell'Università).

3
Il percorso formativo dello studente può essere vincolato attraverso un sistema di propedeuticità,
indicate per ciascun insegnamento nel Manifesto degli studi.
La modalità e il termine per la presentazione del piano di studio sono stabiliti annualmente dalla
Scuola Politecnica e riportate nel Manifesto degli studi.

Art. 8. Frequenza e modalità di svolgimento delle attività didattiche

Gli insegnamenti possono assumere la forma di: (a) lezioni; (b) esercitazioni pratiche; (c)
esercitazioni in laboratorio.
Il profilo articolato e la natura impegnativa delle lezioni tenute nell’ambito dei vari corsi di studio
offerti dalla Scuola Politecnica rendono la frequenza alle attività formative fortemente consigliata
per una adeguata comprensione degli argomenti e quindi per una buona riuscita negli esami.
Il calendario delle lezioni è articolato in semestri. Di norma, il semestre è suddiviso in almeno 12
settimane di lezione più almeno 4 settimane complessive per prove di verifica ed esami di profitto.
Il periodo destinato agli esami di profitto termina con l’inizio delle lezioni del semestre successivo.
Per un periodo di una settimana, a metà semestre, la normale attività didattica (lezioni, esercitazioni,
laboratori) può essere interrotta per lo svolgimento di esami di laurea, di prove in itinere, seminari,
attività di tutorato e attività didattica di recupero.
Il calendario delle attività didattiche (lezioni, esami di profitto, periodi intra-semestrali di sospensione
delle lezioni) per l’intero anno accademico è pubblicato sul sito web della Scuola Politecnica. L’orario
delle lezioni garantisce la possibilità di frequenza per anni di corso previsti dal vigente Manifesto
degli studi. Per ragioni pratiche non è garantita la compatibilità dell'orario per tutte le scelte
formalmente possibili degli insegnamenti opzionali. Gli studenti devono quindi formulare il proprio
piano di studio tenendo conto dell'orario delle lezioni.

Art. 9. Esami e altre verifiche del profitto

Gli esami di profitto possono essere svolti in forma scritta, orale, o scritta e orale, secondo le
modalità indicate nelle schede di ciascun insegnamento pubblicato sul sito web del corso di laurea
magistrale.
A richiesta, possono essere previste specifiche modalità di verifica dell’apprendimento che tengano
conto delle esigenze di studenti disabili e di studenti con disturbi specifici dell’apprendimento
(D.S.A.), in conformità all’art. 20 comma 4 del Regolamento Didattico di Ateneo.
Nel caso di insegnamenti strutturati in moduli con più docenti, questi partecipano collegialmente alla
valutazione complessiva del profitto dello studente che non può, comunque, essere frazionata in
valutazioni separate sui singoli moduli.
Il calendario degli esami di profitto è stabilito entro il 30 settembre per l’anno accademico successivo
e viene pubblicato sul sito web del corso di laurea magistrale. Il calendario delle eventuali prove di
verifica in itinere è stabilito dal CCS e comunicato agli studenti all’inizio di ogni ciclo didattico.
Gli esami si svolgono nei periodi di interruzione delle lezioni. Possono essere previsti appelli durante
il periodo delle lezioni soltanto per gli studenti che, nell’anno accademico in corso, non abbiano
inserito attività formative nel proprio piano di studio.
Tutte le verifiche del profitto relative alle attività formative debbono essere superate dallo studente
almeno venti giorni prima della data prevista per il sostenimento della prova finale.
L’esito dell’esame, con la votazione conseguita, è verbalizzato secondo quanto previsto all’art. 20
del regolamento didattico di Ateneo.

4
Art. 10. Riconoscimento di crediti
Il CCS delibera sull’approvazione delle domande di passaggio o trasferimento da un altro corso di
studi dell’Ateneo o di altre Università secondo le norme previste dal Regolamento didattico di
Ateneo, art. 18. Delibera altresì il riconoscimento, quale credito formativo, per un numero massimo
di 12 CFU, di conoscenze e abilità professionali certificate ai sensi della normativa vigente.
Nella valutazione delle domande di passaggio si terrà conto delle specificità didattiche e dell’attualità
dei contenuti formativi dei singoli esami sostenuti, riservandosi di stabilire di volta in volta eventuali
forme di verifica ed esami integrativi.
Nel quadro della normativa nazionale e regionale su alternanza formazione/lavoro, è possibile per
il corso di studio prevedere, per studenti selezionati, percorsi di apprendimento che tengano conto
anche di esperienze lavorative svolte presso aziende convenzionate.

Art. 11. Mobilità, studi compiuti all’estero, scambi internazionali

Il CCS incoraggia fortemente le attività di internazionalizzazione, in particolare la partecipazione
degli studenti ai programmi di mobilità e di scambi internazionali. A tal fine garantisce, secondo le
modalità previste dalle norme vigenti, il riconoscimento dei crediti formativi conseguiti all’interno di
tali programmi, e organizza le attività didattiche opportunamente in modo da rendere agevoli ed
efficaci tali attività.
Il CCS riconosce agli studenti iscritti, che abbiano regolarmente svolto e completato un periodo di
studi all’estero, gli esami sostenuti fuori sede e il conseguimento dei relativi crediti che lo studente
intenda sostituire ad esami del proprio piano di studi.
Ai fini del riconoscimento di tali esami, lo studente all’atto della compilazione del piano delle attività
formative che intende seguire nell’ateneo estero, dovrà produrre idonea documentazione
comprovante l’equivalenza dei contenuti tra l’insegnamento impartito all’estero e l’insegnamento
che intende sostituire, impartito nel corso di laurea magistrale in Energy Engineering. L’equivalenza
è valutata dal CCS.
La conversione dei voti avverrà secondo criteri approvati dal CCS, congruenti con il sistema europeo
ECTS.
Il CCS riconosce inoltre, nell’ambito dei crediti attribuiti alla prova finale (Master Thesis) una quota
parte relativa ad attività di preparazione della tesi con relative attività di ricerca e/o di tirocinio svolte
all’estero in uno dei programmi internazionali di ateneo (e.g. Erasmus Traineeship), secondo i criteri
adottati dal CCS nelle proprie delibere su proposta della Scuola Politecnica.

Art. 12. Modalità della prova finale

La prova finale consiste nella presentazione e discussione di un elaborato scritto, di fronte ad
apposita Commissione, tendente ad accertare la preparazione tecnico-scientifica e professionale
del candidato.
Ai fini del conseguimento della laurea magistrale, l’elaborato finale consiste nella redazione di una
tesi, elaborata dallo studente in modo originale sotto la guida di uno o più relatori, su un argomento
definito attinente ad una disciplina di cui abbia superato l’esame.
Tra i relatori deve essere presente almeno un docente della Scuola Politecnica o del Corso di studi.
La tesi sarà svolta in lingua inglese; in caso di utilizzo di altra lingua della UE è necessaria
l’autorizzazione del CCS. In questi casi la tesi deve essere corredata dal titolo e da un ampio
sommario in inglese.
La tesi, svolta presso laboratori universitari, Aziende, Enti di ricerca nazionali o internazionali, dovrà
rivelare le capacità dello studente nell’affrontare tematiche di ricerca e/o di tipo applicativo. La tesi

5
dovrà essere costituita da un progetto e/o dallo sviluppo di un’applicazione che proponga soluzioni
innovative rispetto allo stato dell’arte e dimostri le capacità di analisi e di progetto dello studente.
La tesi dovrà altresì rivelare:
✓ capacità di affrontare problemi complessi con approccio multidisciplinare
✓ corretto uso delle fonti e della bibliografia;
✓ capacità sistematiche e argomentative;
✓ chiarezza nell'esposizione;
✓ capacità progettuale e sperimentale;
✓ capacità critica.
La Commissione per la prova finale è composta da almeno cinque componenti compreso il
Presidente ed è nominata dal Direttore del dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica, Energetica,
Gestionale e dei Trasporti.
Le modalità di svolgimento della prova finale consistono nella presentazione orale della tesi di laurea
da parte dello studente alla commissione per la prova finale, seguita da una discussione sulle
questioni eventualmente poste dai membri della commissione.
La valutazione della prova finale da parte della commissione avviene, in caso di superamento della
stessa, attribuendo un incremento, variabile da 0 a 6 punti, di cui 4 punti come valutazione della
Prova Finale e 2 punti legati alle peculiarità del lavoro di tesi (originalità metodologica e rilevanza
dei risultati) e/o come valutazione della carriera dello studente (votazioni con lode, periodi di studio
svolti dallo studente all’estero con riconoscimento di crediti formativi e periodi di studio all'estero per
lo svolgimento della Tesi).
La dignità di stampa per il lavoro di tesi magistrale può essere richiesta dal relatore ai membri della
Commissione di Laurea con lettera, fatta pervenire almeno 15 giorni prima della seduta di laurea,
che illustri le motivazioni della richiesta. Sono ammissibili richieste per le quali il lavoro di tesi, grazie
al contributo del candidato, possa costituire la base per articoli scientifici a Conferenza o su Journal
Internazionali. La richiesta deve essere accompagnata da una sintesi della Tesi di circa 10 pagine,
strutturata come un articolo scientifico. La dignità di stampa viene attribuita con voto unanime della
Commissione alla seduta di Laurea.

Art. 13. Orientamento e tutorato

La Scuola Politecnica, di concerto con il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Meccanica, Energetica,
Gestionale e dei Trasporti, organizza e gestisce un servizio di tutorato per l'accoglienza e il sostegno
degli studenti, al fine di prevenire la dispersione e il ritardo negli studi e di promuovere una proficua
partecipazione attiva alla vita universitaria in tutte le sue forme.
Il CCS individua al suo interno un numero di tutor in proporzione al numero degli studenti iscritti. I
nominativi dei tutor sono reperibili nel sito web del corso di laurea magistrale.

Art. 14. Verifica dell’obsolescenza dei crediti

I crediti acquisiti nell’ambito del corso di laurea magistrale hanno validità per 4 anni.
Trascorso il periodo indicato, i crediti acquisiti debbono essere convalidati con apposita delibera
qualora il CCS riconosca la non obsolescenza dei relativi contenuti formativi.
Qualora il CCS riconosca l’obsolescenza anche di una sola parte dei relativi contenuti formativi, lo
stesso CCS stabilisce le prove integrative che dovranno essere sostenute dallo studente, definendo
gli argomenti delle stesse e le modalità di verifica.
Una volta superate le verifiche previste, il CCS convalida i crediti acquisiti con apposita delibera.
Qualora la relativa attività formativa preveda una votazione, la stessa potrà essere variata rispetto
a quella precedentemente ottenuta, su proposta della Commissione d’esame che ha proceduto alla
verifica.

The course has two complementary objectives:
first, to provide the conceptual, analytical and
numerical bases of compressible flows
prediction, in presence of turbulence, heat
transfer and also chemical reactions and
multiphase flows, typically found in energy-
related industrial processes, second, to provide
an overview, with practical training on the
application of CFD software tools
(Computational Fluid Dynamics) that are
nowadays a fundametal industrial technology for
product development.
The main target of the course is to convey
operational and critical skills to the student; the
emphasis will be more centred on the correct
methodological approach to perform a sound
CFD analysis, even complex, as well as on a
proper 'engineering' interpretation of results, in
terms of their physical consistency, trends’
capturing and validation capability, rather than to
provide students with competences related to
