Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Materials Engineering and Sustainable Processes

University of Perugia – Italy

msc matpro 1

 

Curriculum Description

The Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Materials Engineering and Sustainable Processes is structured to provide the student with the most effective and modern teaching tools in the following areas: I) Advanced and Aerospace Materials, II) Green Building Materials, and finally III) Sustainable Processes. As a result, it is organized on three different Curricula.

The Master's Degree (M.Sc.) is structured in two years. The first year is common for all three Curricula and the student will be trained on the fundamentals of the major classes of materials and on the physics and chemistry of matter. Then, from the second year the student can choose one of the three different Curricula:

I) Advanced and Aerospace Materials: the design, development, manufacturing and characterization of high-performance materialsmsc matpro corr will be addressed with a special emphasis on traditional and nanostructured composite materials, metals and lightweight alloys, and in general materials able to operate under extreme conditions such as atmospheric re-entry or rocket engines. The attention will also be focused on the study of the heat transfer processes (such as ablation) and on the advanced testing techniques for the evaluation of the high temperature and thermo-physical properties of materials as well as on non-destructive analysis.

II) Green Building Materials: the techniques for the design, development, manufacturing and testing of green building-, energy efficient-, and active-materials will be addressed also focusing the attention on the assessment of the materials recycling. In fact, recycling is a key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" waste hierarchy. Moreover, the study of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials for the construction and packaging industry will be addressed.

III)  Sustainable Processes: this curriculum is focused on the study of sustainable and environmentally friendly processes with a special attention on biomaterials, recycling of polymeric materials, and design through Life Cycle Analysis (LCA, LCC).

The msc matpro artproduction processes of each specific class of materials will be studied in order to provide the student with the tools necessary to solve real industrial cases and problems.

The courses will be primarily held in the campus of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (DICA) located in the city of Terni (Umbria region). The uniqueness of the Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Materials Engineering and Sustainable Processes is also related to the availability of research laboratories which are used to directly provide a direct training of the students.

 

Finally, agreements with other European and non-European universities have also been signed thus to provide the student with the opportunity to acquire credits (CFUs) in other countries.

All the courses of this M.Sc. will be held in English.
