INORGANIC MATERIALS FOR INDUSTRY, THE ENVIRONMENT AND CULTURAL HERITAGE
Academic Year 2023/2024 - Teacher: Maria Elena FRAGALA'Expected Learning Outcomes
Knowledge and understanding
Knowledge of the role of chemistry and technological innovations in terms of innovative materials and diagnostic techniques for industry, environmental protection and conservation of cultural heritage.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
Knowledge of the methods of monitoring and removal of
pollutants, of the processes of degradation and of the methods of restoration
of materials of artistic and architectural interest and of innovative materials
for the production of renewable energy. Knowledge of the main survey techniques
used in these application areas. Ability to discuss and report a "case
study".
Judgment skills
Particular attention is paid to the development of knowledge of the fundamental principles of chemistry in its various industrial and production sectors. Acquisition of the mastery of the scientific method of investigation with special reference to product-process connections, molecular structure-properties of materials, to scale changes and sustainable development.
Communication skills
Develop a capacity for expression using appropriate terminology.
Learning ability
The use of a variety of sources for the acquisition of the proposed contents is stimulated with particular reference to the bibliographic analysis concerning the most innovative aspects in the sectors of industrial, environmental and cultural heritage.
