Master in Facade Technology
Education objectives
The aim of the course is to train specialists with interdisciplinary knowledge able to lead and develop analysis, design, management and innovation activities in the field of building facades, in their technical, environmental and socio-economic aspects.
The course, aimed at lifelong learning, aims to develop/deepen interdisciplinary transversal skills in different topics, such as performance (hygrothermal, acoustic, lighting and structural), quality and sustainability, technologies and innovation and integration of renewables on facades, in partnership with state laboratories (National Laboratory of Civil Engineering and National Laboratory of Energy and Geology), professional associations (National Association of Manufacturers of Efficient Windows) and international networks (European Facade Network).

Evaluation rules
The evaluation of all UCs is continuous for all the components that integrate it, and it must be completed by the last day of the school term of the academic semester.
The continuous evaluation of a UC must include a minimum of three elements in the set of evaluation components, on dates adequately spaced throughout the period of classes.
All UCs with a theoretical-practical evaluation component must provide, in addition, a form of evaluation of this component by exam, to be carried out after the period of classes (Examination of Appeal).
All requirements and conditions related to the evaluation of the UC, namely the minimum weights and classifications, if any, of each component, as well as the Frequency conditions, are defined a priori and, mandatorily, published in the Discipline Form.
For each UC, combinations of three evaluation components are allowed: (i) Theoretical-practical evaluation; (ii) Laboratory or project evaluation; (iii) Summative assessment.
The final Dissertation (or Project) involves a public discussion with a Jury.
