20810178 - MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING FO OFFSHORE APPLICATIONS (objectives) The main objectives of the course are: (i) to define the concept of industrial production, with particular reference to applications for the offshore technology sector; (ii) detail the existing integration between product design, choice of materials and production processes, engineering of production lines, costs and production times in the context of manufacturing techniques for offshore applications and, in particularly, within the limits defined by the conditions of use of the products; (iii) to provide information on the salient aspects of modern industrial production, with a focus on sustainable manufacturing processes with particular reference to the trio environment, economy and society. In addition to the study of conventional manufacturing processes (foundry, massive deformation, chip removal) which will therefore be contextualized in the context of offshore applications, particular emphasis will be placed on the most important manufacturing processes for the marine environment, i.e. joining processes, as well as technologies for processing plastics and composites. Case studies of particular practical relevance will also be proposed during the studies in order to specialize the learning techniques in the field of manufacturing technologies for offshore applications and to finalize them to the related specific applications.	6	ING-IND/16	48	-	-	-	Core compulsory activities	ITA

The overall objective is here to give to the students all the information and technical tools to design and manage the transportation infrastructure at the terrestrial-maritime interface. Design and construction as well as maintenance of parking lots, roads, motorways, rail stations and railways at the land/sea interface are discussed, in particular focusing on geometry standards, safety and efficiency of transport. Moreover the main concepts of selection criteria and acceptance standards for construction and building materials are explained under a perspective of sustainability. The main concepts of construction management and building sites or work zones safety and efficiency are also accurately presented, mainly considering the aspects related to the environmental impacts during construction. - Derived from 20810170-1 MARITIME TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURES-A in Sustainable coastal and ocean engineering LM-23 GEMMA ANDREA, MANNINI LIVIA	6	ICAR/05	-	-	-	-	Related or supplementary learning activities	ITA
