Teaching methods

- Attendance of students in small groups of internship experiences at local production companies for knowledge of technological cycles.

- Attendance of theoretical-practical classroom seminars on the functions and activities carried out by ARPAE on environmental protection issues.

- Attendance of students, in small groups, of internship days at local companies for the measurement and sampling of risk factors (physical and chemical) for health in the workplace.

Assessment methods

The learning assessment of Internship 1 will include:

- Multiple choice written test on corporate technological cycles in the industrial/food sectors.

- Multiple choice written test on the functions and activities carried out by ARPAE on environmental issues.

- Discussion, during the oral/practical test, of a thesis of your choice on one of the production technologies viewed during the internship.

- Questions on the instrumentation and measurement techniques used in the sampling and measurement of the risk factors addressed in the internships.
