automatically translated page
The Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering provides a solid preparation in the basic sciences and guarantees specific competences in the fields of Construction Science and Technology, Hydraulics and Hydraulic Infrastructure, Geotechnics, Environmental Health Engineering and Energy Systems.
The knowledge and tools acquired allow for easy entry into the world of work. Graduates in the area of Civil Engineering typically find employment in professional firms and companies in the construction and management of buildings, infrastructure, plants and works for the management and control of water and energy resources.
Graduates in the area of Environmental Engineering, on the other hand, typically find employment in professional firms, companies, public bodies (municipalities, regions, civil protection) and private organisations in the design and management of distribution networks, environmental and territorial control and monitoring systems, hydraulic territorial protection and soil conservation, water purification and remediation of contaminated sites, waste disposal, and the use of water and energy resources.
The members of the Study Course Councils (CdS) are defined annually on the basis of the prevailing teaching loads.
Each Council is assisted in the planning and/or revision of the educational offering by a Steering Committee, which meets at least once a year.
The Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering is an open-access course; however, all students wishing to enrol are required to take an entrance test (TOLC - Test d'Entrance) to verify their initial preparation.
The Degree Course in Civil and Environmental Engineering - Environmental Curriculum has established the obligation for all students to compile a study plan. The study plan must be submitted during the third year of the course, roughly between October and November (dates to be confirmed each year).
Compilation must normally be carried out via the Web on Esse3, at www.esse3.unimore.it , under the heading "Career Plan", and only in special cases in hard copy using the special form available from the Engineering Student Secretariat (Via Campi 213/b).
Please note that a student who has not completed his or her study plan within the prescribed period will be assigned a compulsory standard study plan that will become his or her actual plan.
Standard study plan for cohorts* of students enrolled in the academic year 2020/2021.
The study plan must include, in addition to compulsory educational activities, educational activities of the student's choice (15 CFU) and other activities (3CFU), pursuant to Article 10, paragraph 5, letter d of DM270, for a total of 18 CFU, choosing them from those envisaged by the Course of Studies as optional.
Students who have not completed their study plan within the prescribed period are assigned a standard-statutory study plan, which becomes their compulsory plan and which envisages the following subjects for the acquisition of the 18 CFU as electives: CAD, Advanced English, Environmental Law, Contracts, Procurement and Civil Works Law.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON ONLINE COMPILATION
There are two alternatives for filling in the online plan, which can be viewed once you have entered the Esse3 personal area, under the heading Career plan:
- a 'plan scheme' - APPR - whereby the completed plan is automatically approved: in this scheme, only the courses offered by the Civil and Environmental Engineering degree course are proposed, and everyone will see the choices provided by their own curriculum (Civil or Environmental);
- an 'outline plan' - PROP - which instead remains in a state of evaluation (it must be approved by the Course Council) and which must only be chosen by:
- students coming from a transfer/transfer from another degree course/university who have had optional examinations already approved by a resolution of their degree course council and uploaded onto their electronic transcript. Only in the case in which the cfu of the transfer resolution exceeds 21 cfu (the PROP plan foresees a 183 cfu limit), the compilation of the plan must be carried out by means of the special paper form available at the Student Secretariat in via Campi 213/b, to be returned before the deadline during the reception hours.
- students who have taken optional examinations in Erasmus that have already been approved by their degree course council and uploaded onto their electronic transcript;
- students who are sure to participate in the Formula Student project, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the teaching activity to the booklet;
- students who wish to take extra-attendance examinations in Environmental Studies, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the teaching activities to their transcripts; it is advisable, if you intend to take extra-attendance examinations, to obtain prior information from the President of the Degree Course, to avoid incurring non-approval, which would result in the case in which the extra-attendance examinations have already been taken NOT being able to consider them in your career (since they will be considered supernumerary) and with the need therefore to take further examinations.
Plans in PROP status will be evaluated by the Course Council following the deadline for plan compilation.
The student will be contacted if the plan is rejected for re-filling.

Standard study plan for cohorts* of students enrolled in the academic years 2019/2020 and 2020/2021.
The study plan must include, in addition to compulsory educational activities, educational activities of the student's choice (15 CFU) and other activities (3 CFU), pursuant to Article 10, paragraph 5, letter d of DM270, for a total of 18 CFU, choosing them from those envisaged by the Course of Studies as optional.
Students who have not completed their study plan within the prescribed period are assigned a standard-statutory study plan, which becomes their compulsory plan and which provides for the following teachings for the acquisition of the 18 CFU as electives: Internship/Design Activities, Advanced English, Legislation on Public Works and Safety at Work, Numerical Calculus.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE ONLINE
COMPILATION The online plan can be completed in two ways, which can be viewed once you have entered the Esse3 personal area, under the heading Career plan:
- an 'outline plan'-APPR-which stipulates that the completed plan will be automatically approved: in this pathway, only the courses offered by the Civil and Environmental Engineering degree course are proposed, and everyone will see the choices provided by their own curriculum (Civil or Environmental);
- an 'outline plan'-PROP- which instead remains in a state of evaluation (it must be approved by the Course Council) and is only to be chosen by:
- students coming from a transfer/transfer from another degree course/university who have had optional examinations already approved by a resolution of their degree course council and uploaded onto their electronic transcript. Only in the event that the cfu of the passage/transfer resolution exceeds 21 cfu (the PROP plan foresees a 183 cfu limit), the plan must be filled in using the special paper form available at the Student Secretariat in via Campi 213/b, to be returned before the deadline during reception hours;
- students who have taken optional examinations in Erasmus that have already been approved by their degree course council and uploaded onto their electronic transcript;
- students who are sure to participate in the Formula Student project, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the teaching activity to the booklet;
- students who wish to take extra-attendance examinations in Civil Law, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the didactic activity to their transcripts; it is advisable, if you intend to take extra-attendance examinations, to obtain prior information from the President of the Degree Course, to avoid incurring non-approval, which would lead, in the event that the extra-attendance examinations have already been taken, to NOT being able to consider them in your career (since they will be considered supernumerary) and thus requiring you to take further examinations.
Plans in PROP status will be evaluated by the Course Council following the deadline for plan compilation.
The student will be contacted if the plan is rejected for re-filling.
This document illustrates the final exam for students enrolled in courses under DM270/04 and describes the procedure to be followed in order to be admitted.
The final examination is a public oral test aimed at ascertaining the achievement of the specific educational objectives of the degree course. It may consist of:
- a) in the presentation and discussion of a report on the activity carried out during the internship - under the supervision of a lecturer/researcher - in industries, companies or external bodies, on the basis of appropriate agreements;
- b) in the presentation and discussion of a report on the activity carried out - under the supervision of a lecturer/researcher - at research laboratories of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia or of other public or private research bodies, on the basis of specific agreements;
- c) in the presentation and discussion of a paper on topics related to subjects in the study plan, assigned by a lecturer/researcher.
The Final Examination may be taken in a foreign language, agreed in advance with the President of the CCdS. In this case, an extended summary of the work/activity carried out in Italian must also be prepared.
Students, after having obtained no less than 140 CFU, choose the title of their Final Examination from a list available on the web.
Tutoring, in compliance with the provisions of Article 13 of Law 341/90, is a service designed to assist students enrolled at university throughout their studies, removing obstacles to successful course attendance and encouraging active participation in university life.
The tutor is a point of reference to whom one can turn for advice, for help in getting into one's studies and for all forms of assistance aimed at making university studies more effective and productive.
The tutor teacher in particular can provide methodological and didactic support, aimed at overcoming learning difficulties (e.g. preparing for an exam, relating the contents of the various disciplines, clarifying doubts on study subjects) or can contact students in difficulty directly to propose support actions arranged by the University.
