20 years of integrated engineering courses in the three-year Degree in Environment and Workplace Prevention Techniques at the University of Turin

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Workplace Prevention Techniques (TPALL) of the University of Turin (UniTo) has also been training technical experts in occupational and environmental safety and health since 2003. Among the total 180 training credits, 24 credits are dedicated to specific engineering content, and deal with both plant design basics, and up-to-date Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Management techniques.

Since 2018, the teaching approach and organization have been managed within a framework focused on system quality, in collaboration with the International Training Centre (ITC) of the International Labour Organization (ILO). This made a timely adjustment possible at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic which involved a review of the entire degree course, with the introduction of solutions consistent with the UniTo guidelines, and, what is more, sustainable over time.

The paper summarizes the approach of the courses with engineering content in the Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Workplace Prevention Techniques, and the results in terms of effectiveness of the revised organizational and management approach, specifically adapted to engineering courses, to create a system as resilient as possible in terms of quality, sustainability and educational outcomes.

CiteScore:
2020: 3.8
CiteScore measures the average citations received per peer-reviewed document published in this title.
CiteScore values are based on citation counts in a range of four years (e.g. 2016-2019) to peer-reviewed documents (articles, reviews, conference papers, data papers and book chapters) published in the same four calendar years, divided by the number of these documents in these same four years (e.g. 2016 —19).
Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP):
2019: 1.307
SNIP measures contextual citation impact by weighting citations based on the total number of citations in a subject field.
SCImago Journal Rank (SJR)
2019: o.657
SJR is a prestige metric based on the idea that not all citations are the same. SJR uses a similar algorithm as the Google page rank; it provides a quantitative and a qualitative measure of the journal's impact.
Journal Metrics: CiteScore: 1.0 , Source Normalized Impact per Paper (SNIP): 0.381 SCImago Journal Rank (SJR): 0.163
