Objectives

The learning outcome of the course is to deepen the knowledges related to the planning of people and resources in order to safely carry out a construction operation required in a predetermined time. The course aims to provide the basic knowledge necessary for the design, installation and management of a construction site, addressing the problems related to the various stages of organization starting from the executive design developed according to working plans such as prefiguration and mandatory passage from the "plausible construction site" to the "actual construction site".The integrated course of "Organization and Safety in Construction Sites" also aims to provide knowledge on the historical evolution of the construction site and to deepen the problems related to the safely management of a construction site through the analysis of the different procedural stages that contribute to the realisation of a construction project, the skills of the people involved in the construction activity, the verification of the required human and material resources, the organization of safety and the prevention of injuries seen as a crucial component of the construction process, starting from design, through production, up to the management of the construction projects. The technological evolution of the construction site and the regulatory reference have also adopted european standards in our Country, recently focusing on the request for quality and characteristics tests on the products used for construction. All those working on construction sites (including construction managers, designers, testers and companies) need a quick and agile update to make correct choices in this specific context. The ambition of the course is to respond to the widespread demand for technological innovation in production that requires professionals able to compete with an increasingly demanding construction market and strongly integrated with the specific needs of construction companies. To develop a professional figure able to act with competence in the management of the complexity of the building production process, correlating the technical, constructive and procedural aspects related and aimed at the realization of the artifact. At the end of the course the students will have acquired a working methodology that will help them to use critically all the topics related to the subject and to face the complex problems of professional work.

Method of evaluation:
The method of evaluation will first take into account the participation in the lessons of the course by each student;this participation will be attested by the signatures of presence in and out. The attendance signatures as well as attesting the real participation of each student in the lessons, at the end of the course will be finalized to the calculation of the hours for obtaining the certificate of Coordinator for the Safety in phase of Planning and Execution.
The final evaluation will also involve the active participation of students in reviews, which are an integral part of the course and will be carried out during the lessons. Students, in fact, will carry out a subject of test, alone or in group, that will lead them to draw up a Plan of Safety and Coordination accompanied by all papers and attachments. The revisions will be "choral" and the material produced by each group of students or by the individual student will be projected in the classroom for the sharing of design solutions, corrections, ideas, insights.Finally, during the exam, the evaluation criterion will take into account the specific knowledge of the subjects covered, the capacity to analyse and report on the various themes, the mastery of the technical language and the quality of the exercise theme carried out and revised during the course. These elements will be essential for the purpose of passing the exam.
Each candidate will be given questions on the basic topics discussed during the course, both technical and regulatory, taking as a starting point the subject of the project. It will also be asked to each of them to illustrate the management aspects of construction site studied. Each topic will be evaluated in a systemic form to reach an overall assessment of the preparation achieved, with corresponding numerical evaluation. The ability of individuals to deal transversally and interrelated with the different topics addressed in the course will also be significant for the final assessment.
