The Ph.D. course in Civil Systems Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II aims at shaping next generation, highly qualified researchers, policymakers, practitioners,
and technicians able to lead and anticipate unprecedented revolutions in civil systems engineering.
Enrolled candidates will be leading-edge managers of key societal issues, including scarcity of environmental resources, unprecedented pressure on populations and territories, need to develop – economic, environmental, societal – sustainable and resilient civil systems. They will be able to lead technological and digital transitions of civil systems, with specific focus on automation, connectivity, and cooperation.
Overall, the PhD program promotes technological and process innovation in civil systems, environmental, and infrastructure engineering, governance and management of territorial transformations, rational and sustainable implementation of civil manufacts and services.
Scope
Civil systems engineering is experiencing unprecedented revolutions, with ground-breaking opportunities offered by revolutions in digitalisation and in enabling technologies. Reshaping the traditional role of civil systems engineers is a key challenge, to be pursued with an interdisciplinary approach and with a modern view of skills and solutions to be offered.
The PhD program in Civil Systems Engineering (CSE-PhD) aims at anticipating such transformations, by creating an innovative and flexible research environment able to lead the development of new paradigms and tools/solutions able to intercept and predict market trends/needs, with an interdisciplinary and internationally recognised approach.
The CSE-PhD program develops its activities along three key directions:
- Internationalisation: a consolidated network of collaborations with prominent research centres worldwide is available to let PhD students to develop their research in tune with leading-edge trends.
- Personal growth: a solid background on leading topics in civil systems engineering will be developed, thanks both to the internal faculty and to a series of training initiatives that will boost the skills of enrolled PhD students.
- Eye to the market: relevant public and private stakeholders will be part of the training process, sharing their needs and creating a living lab environment to showcase the outcomes of proposed research by PhD students.
Why enrol
- To be part of the research group of one of the most ancient universities in the world, within a stimulating research environment, in connection with prominent research groups worldwide.
- To make the most of the consolidated network of stakeholders and shareholders that can support, fund, and showcase research activities.
- To join a group of experienced, prominent researchers in civil systems engineering.
Services to PhD students:
The Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering, in which the PhD program in Civil Systems Engineering is hinged, has long been working to build new spaces – both indoor and outdoor – and new study rooms for bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students. In March 2023, the study room named after Prof. Vittorio Biggiero and Fabio Rossi was inaugurated, and another study room will be inaugurated soon. In addition, an education office is being established to take care of the needs of bachelor’s, master’s and PhD students.
Research orientation activities conducted by the PhD board
The professors of the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering, in which the Civil Systems Engineering PhD course is hinged, have, overall, a strong ability to attract funds to finance and/or co-finance PhD scholarships. To appropriately allocate the PhD scholarships that become available each year, the PhD board of the Civil Systems Engineering PhD course, assisted by all the professors of the Department of Civil, Building and Environmental Engineering, publicises the PhD scholarships on offer to master students through various social channels (Instagram, Facebook and Linkedin) and various national and international mailing lists. Since this year, the Civil Systems Engineering PhD course has also participated to the “Career Day”, an orientation day dedicated to all master’s students. At this event, three PhD students from the Civil Systems Engineering course publicised the course to all master’s students through videos, slides, brochures, and personal testimonials.

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.

Organization of courses and educational activities
Educational activities of the PhD course in Civil Systems Engineering are organized with 8 courses, for a total of 27 ECTS, of which:
4 mandatory courses for a total of 15 ECTS:
mandatory courses in language training (6 ECTS) and computer science (3 CFU), as well as in the field of research management and knowledge of European and international research systems (3 ECTS) and on the enhancement of research results and intellectual property (3 ECTS) are offered at the Polytechnic School level.
4 elective courses for a total of 12 ECTS:
these courses can be freely chosen among those offered for PhD students worldwide and are thought to enrich the vertical knowledge of PhD students in the specific research path they have undertaken.
Professors in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering, in which the PhD course in Civil Systems Engineering is hinged, offer several ad hoc courses for PhD students, repeated annually or biennially, some of which – highlighted in red in the following list – have the value of mandatory courses in computer science. Consistent with the University’s strategic plan, these courses are offered in a hybrid mode, to allow remote participation as well. Also consistent with the University’s strategic plan, courses on “green topics” – highlighted with green font in the list below – are also offered:
- Parametric modelling for urban building and environment (3 ECTS) – prof. Pierpaolo D’Agostino – June-July 2023
- Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis of Model Outputs (3 CFU) – dr. Marcello Montanino – July 2023
- Infrastructure for sustainable mobility (3 CFU) – dr. Maria Rella Riccardi – September 2023
- Advanced methods for road safety analysis (3 ECTS) – dr. Filomena Mauriello – October-November 2023
- Application of Life Cycle Analysis to the sector of Civil Engineering (3 ECTS) – dr. Grazia Policastro – October-November 2023
- Circular Economy and Ecological Transition (3 ECTS) – prof. Massimiliano Fabbricino – October-November 2023
- Driving simulation methods and tools (3 ECTS) – prof. Francesco Galante – October-November 2023
- Discrete choice modelling (3 ECTS) – dr. Fiore Tinessa – January-February 2024
- Geographic Information Systems to support decision-making processes (3 ECTS) – dr. Gerardo Carpentieri – January-February 2024
- Static and dynamic approaches for transportation systems simulation (3 CFU) – prof. Fulvio Simonelli – January-February 2024
- Best practices, innovative tools, and plans geared toward the climate and energy resilience of cities – dr. Carmen Guida e dr. Floriana Zucaro – February 2024
