Description of the activities
The teaching offering of the UNITN Departments stands out also for the vast and qualified availability of laboratory activities. The Teaching Laboratories for Experimental Sciences are a structure devoted to ensure the learning quality in experimental disciplines and pursue rationalization and synergy in the teaching offering in the studying courses of the Departments of Physics, CIBIO, Industrial Engineering, CISMed, DICAM, Mathematics and Cimec. Primarily, the Teaching Laboratories for Experimental Sciences operate to allow carrying out of the practical-didactical experiments in the Bachelor degree and Master of Science courses offered by the Departments located in the Scientific and Technological Campus (named "Polo di Collina", Hill's Campus) that foresee courses with laboratory sessions.
Furthermore, they offer support to the teaching laboratory activities in convention with MUSE and technical high schools, and to scientific dissemination towards local territory.
Technical staff of the structure:
- supports teaching staff involved in designing, preparing and managing laboratory activities, and ensures the operativity through efficient managing of environments, equipment and materials;
- deals with installation, setting up and maintenance of instrumentation and with the definition of laboratory working procedures;
- ensures that within the Teaching Laboratories procedures regarding safety, prevention and health protection of workers and users are correctly enforced;
- offers support and technical consultancy for students, teachers and other users involved in laboratory teaching activities.
The structure manages 12 laboratories located in a dedicated building in Povo0, and 1 located in Povo1.
