A tutti i docenti Della Facoltà di Ingegneria SEDE Oggetto: didattica per il dottorato Cari colleghi, come certo saprete, il Senato Accademico, più volte sollecitato dalla Scuola di Dottorato in “Scienze dell’Ingegneria”, nella seduta del 29-5-12, ha approvato la possibilità di inserire nell’offerta formativa della scuola 10 insegnamenti di 24 ore frontali ciascuno (3 CFU). Il Consiglio della Scuola ha stabilito che tali corsi siano “trasversali”, siano cioè fruibili dal numero più elevato possibile di dottorandi, indipendentemente dall’area culturale di riferimento, e siano quindi caratterizzati da una forte interdisciplinarietà. Esempi di tali corsi sono stati gli insegnamenti di materie legate alla matematica, alla statistica, all’informatica, all’economia. E’ da sottolineare che tali corsi hanno riscosso un notevole successo tra i dottorandi. Quest’anno, oltre a quelli sunnominati, si vuole sperimentare una nuova tipologia di corso, sempre ad ampio spettro, ma più specifico per un’area culturale: facendo riferimento alla nostra Facoltà, le aree culturali sarebbero naturalmente l’Area dell’Ingegneria Industriale, l’Area dell’Ingegneria dell’Informazione, l’Area dell’Ingegneria Civile, Edile, Ambientale e dell’Architettura. Si vuole anche ricordare che la nuova regolamentazione del Dottorato di Ricerca, DM 45-2013, e soprattutto il recente documento ANVUR del 18-12-2013 in merito all’accreditamento dei Corsi di Dottorato, menzionano specificamente la didattica del dottorato, che assumerà un ruolo fondamentale per la valutazione dei corsi stessi. Pertanto, chi fosse interessato a proporre un corso deve inoltrare a questo ufficio la sua proposta, che dovrà contenere le seguenti informazioni: 1. Titolo del corso 2. Programma del corso 3. Tipologia del corso: a) trasversale per tutti i dottorandi; b) specifico per un’area. Il proponente dovrà illustrare sinteticamente il motivo per cui il corso proposto si inquadra nella tipologia a) o b). Le modalità di verifica sono lasciate alla discrezione del docente. La calendarizzazione sarà richiesta dopo approvazione del corso. Il docente, durante l’erogazione del corso, dovrà raccogliere le firme di presenza dei dottorandi frequentanti ed inviarle alla fine del corso ai responsabili della didattica della Scuola o del costituendo Consiglio Scientifico. I corsi proposti saranno esaminati per l’approvazione dal Consiglio della Scuola o dal costituendo Consiglio Scientifico dei Corsi di Dottorato: sarà data precedenza ai corsi interdisciplinari di tipo a). I corsi approvati dal Consiglio della Scuola o dal costituendo Consiglio Scientifico del Corsi di Dottorato saranno sottoposti al Consiglio di Facoltà per approvazione finale, per inserimento dei corsi nell’offerta formativa della Facoltà di Ingegneria e per il riconoscimento come carico didattico del docente titolare del corso. La scadenza per l’invio delle proposte è il xxxxx. In attesa di un vostro riscontro, invio distinti saluti. Il Preside Prof. Dario Amodio
