"Modulo di Arboricoltura ornamentale"

1) Knowledge and insight
Students will be provided with information to understand the biology and phenology of tree plants, as well as hints of their physiology and peculiarities in order to achieve quality production, eco-physiological adaptation in urban-rural environments, and environmental sustainability in green design.
2)Applying knowledge and understanding;
The knowledge acquired and the experience gained through practice and attendance of lectures will enable students to penetrate the topics; through analysis, and by exercising critical methodology to understand the problems in the field and to put forward hypotheses for overcoming them, as well as to formulate innovative use hypotheses, with originality and multidisciplinary approaches (ecophysiology, plant physiology, arboriculture and cultivation of tree plants), in the use of tree plants.
3)Making judgements;
The understanding of the issues, their framing in environmental and agronomic processes, and the generation of hypotheses for applications will strengthen the student's ability to synthesize and integrate knowledge and enable him/her to generate judgements anchored in reality and advance hypotheses to acquire new information with scientific rigor.
4)Communication skills;
The set of experiences conducted will enable the student to expose his knowledge, reflections and conjectures to a wide audience, enriched by extensive knowledge of cultivation, scientific literature and methodologies and with the necessary robustness, as a result of a solid training that will enable him to generate original conclusions. The student will thus be able to address a specialized audience and clearly disseminate knowledge to a broad public.
4) Learning skills;
Through classroom lectures, exercises and study visits, the student will acquire the tools for in-depth independent knowledge and independent thinking


"Modulo di Pianificazione e Progettazione del Verde"

Learning Outcomes:
1. Knowledge and Understanding: Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of urban and peri-urban green space management, including the ecological, social, and economic benefits of green areas. They will learn about relevant national and international regulations and guidelines, and grasp the fundamental principles of green space planning and design, as well as sustainable management and maintenance techniques.
2. Applying Knowledge and Understanding: Students will apply their theoretical and practical knowledge to develop and implement green space planning and design strategies. They will use tools and methodologies such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and territorial analysis to design and manage green areas. They will be capable of creating sustainable green spaces and applying management and maintenance techniques, including the use of biostimulants and organic fertilizers, and practices for irrigation and pruning.
3. Making Judgements: Students will develop the ability to critically evaluate green space projects from planning through to management and maintenance. They will be able to make informed judgments about design choices and management techniques, considering ecological, economic, and social factors. They will work on real case studies to refine their critical analysis and problem-solving skills.
4. Communication Skills: Students will be able to clearly communicate their ideas and proposals through oral and written presentations. They will demonstrate skills in preparing project documents and presenting group project results and case studies, using appropriate technical language and visual tools such as technical drawings and design software.
5. Learning Skills: Students will develop skills for autonomous and continuous learning, leveraging practical experiences and feedback received throughout the course. They will be able to adapt to new challenges and techniques in the field of green space planning and design, demonstrating the ability to apply acquired knowledge to real-world situations and diverse contexts.
