Ph.D. programme in Civil Systems Engineering

Coordinator

prof. ing. Andrea Papola


DICEA also promotes a Ph.D. programme in Civil Systems Engineering, that comprises all four thematic areas. The local systems, with the associated infrastructures, services, companies, and economic settlements, create new instances and are subjected to the pressing needs of transformation and adaptation. Civil Systems Engineering task is to respond to these challenges, that are a combined effect of anthropogenic, economic and environmental pressures. Some current contexts, often resulting from short-sighted and poorly planned past conduct, undertake to seek new forms of control and governance of urban systems and, at various scales, of design and management of their physical and functional components.
Promoting integration of knowledge aims to train new generations of specialists in research and implementation of policies and sustainable actions aimed at halting the continuing erosion of environmental resources and the impoverishment of populations and territories.

Organization of the Ph.D. course

First Year
In the first year, to each student is assigned a tutor who will follow him throughout the three-year period. In this period, the research theme is identified and the state of the art is mostly completed. Moreover, the first year is also mostly devoted to educational activities, including both general topics propaedeutic to scientific research activities, and specific courses to deepen the specific sector of interest. Each course presents a final test. At the end of the year, the Ph.D. scientific committee evaluate the work done by each candidate on which bases his/her passage to the next year is discussed.

Second Year
The second year is mainly devoted to an in-depth study of the state of the art of the subject matter of the assigned scientific application and to the development of the methodologies needed to accomplish the thesis project. Reasoned synthesis of the state of the art in relation to the research topic and first results of this methodology development can be brought to the knowledge of the national and international scientific community.
In addition to the year-end evaluation, a further mid-year evaluation is scheduled, after around six month.

Third Year
In the third year, the methodological aspect related to the issues identified for the PhD dissertation will be thoroughly refined and results and conclusions of the research work will be finalized and presented to a main journal of the sector (10% percentile).
Even in the third year, there are two checkpoints. In particular, in the final evaluation concerning the whole Ph.D. path, the reviews received by the above journal will have to be showed. The thesis dissertation is also evaluated by two external reviewers.
Each candidate has to spend a period of at least 3 months abroad where improving his/her research through international cooperation.
