The student will be assessed on his/her demonstrated ability to discuss the main course contents using the appropriate terminology. During the oral exam the student must be able to demonstrate his/her knowledge of the course material and be able to discuss and develop one or more exercises related to the main topic presented during the course. Students must demonstrate to be able to preliminary design (sizing) systems and components of studied plants and critically discuss the thecnological solution.

The course is one of the most interdisciplinary one proposed and consists of lectures (with visual aids such as powerpoints/videos, etc.), exercises and numerical applications (e.g. by using computers in the IT classroom or students’ personal computers, etc.) integrated in the classroom together and correlated with theoretical notions presented.
The teaching activity, in relation to the level of preparation reached by the students, can be completed by the autonomous development under the guidance of the teacher, of a simple project in which the concepts acquired will be applied. The course can also be integrated with lectures and seminars of external teachers and experts.
The subdivision of the total working hours foreseen offers the student the possibility to verify and improve his own learning ability also through a synergic interaction between the student and the teacher (e.g. meetings, email or other methods of communication)
Delivery: face to face
Learning activities: attending lectures; participation in seminar and in discussions; individual study and laboratory work
Attendance: Advised
Teaching methods: Lectures; Seminar; Task-based learning/problem-based learning/inquiry-based learning laboratory

The course aims to provide the knoweledge and the methodological basis useful to study the complex industrial plants, intended as system and sub-system strongly connected together, whose correct operation may be relevant not only for the operation of the plant but also for the safety of workers and environment.
The contents/main notions deal with:
