This decision was then partially revised, after the decision of the Italian Supreme Court, that stated the Italian language could not be totally abolished nor downgraded to a marginal role. The University is spread over seven campuses: two main campuses in Milan and another five satellite campuses across Lombardy ( Lecco , Cremona , Mantua ) and Emilia Romagna ( Piacenza ). Milan Leonardo

2117-406: The attraction of foreign students, and others. The admission in the undergraduate program in engineering at the university is bound to an admission test, aimed to verify the starting preparation of every student. The main goal of this test is to point out the lacks of aspiring students and, in case, to assign them an extra course. Only some programs have a strictly limited number of places, even if

2628-542: The family had a different point of view. Eventually, 58% of the ordinary shares were sold to SIND (Società Impianti Industriali), held 50% by Cecilia Danieli and 50% by Gianpietro Benedetti. Following the new corporate structure, the expansion around the world continued. In 1987 Danieli acquired Morgårdshammar, a Swedish group specializing in rolling plants for special steels, and later Wean United (USA), Rotelec (France) and Sund (Sweden). The results seemed to justify that generational change wanted by Cecilia: Danieli’s turnover

2701-636: The fields of engineering, architecture and design. The university offers 32 first level (Bachelor) degree programs. The academic year is divided into two terms, or semesters, the first from mid-September to late January and the second from March to late June. There are 3 exam sessions: those at the end of each semester (in February and July) and one more in September. Students need to achieve 60 "university credits" ( CFU or Crediti Formativi Universitari ) per year during their Bachelor's and master's degrees. Therefore,

2774-560: The first direct rolling plant for quality steel in the USA. In the mid-eighties, the steel industry again encountered difficulties. A different strategy emerged within the Danieli family in order to remain competitive: Cecilia, who held a degree in Economics and Business from the University of Trieste (Italy), and Gianpietro Benedetti were in favor of a major restructuring, in line with a strategy of internationalization and expansion of products. The rest of

Micro cells are more specialized; these expand and provide additional coverage in areas where macro cells cannot. They are typically placed on streetlights, usually not requiring radio-communication dishes. This is because they are physically interconnected via fiber-optic cables. Pico cell stations are further specific, providing additional coverage only within

Offshore intakes transfer water using concrete channels into screening chambers to be transferred directly to pre-treatment centers, using intake pumps where chemicals will be added. It is then dissolved and separated from solids using a flotation device, to be pumped through a semi-permeable membrane. Electrodialysis competes with reverse osmosis systems and has been used industrially since

3942-512: The steel industry, a turning point that contributed to strengthening the Italian steel industry’s competitiveness in Europe in the Sixties and Seventies. In the second half of the Seventies, a crisis affected the entire steel industry due to an excess production capacity. Luigi Danieli (1915-1993), who held a degree in Engineering from the University of Padua (Italy), adopted a different strategy and led

4015-739: The student organizations: The 2007 graduate survey shows that 80% of graduates of the Polytechnic University of Milan find a job within three months from graduation, and almost 95% within six months. The figures are similar for the bachelor and the masters level graduates. A specialized "Career Service" facilitates contacts between graduates and the industry, it invites companies for presentations and prepares statistics about graduated students. It posts several stage and job offers every day both for students and graduates. Approximately 55% of undergraduate students complete their studies on time, and approximately 80% of them graduate within an additional year. Similar figures apply to graduate students. Students at

Currently, there are four main political groups in student elections: There are also other smaller groups. However, participation in student elections is generally low, as a result of low participation in extra academical activities. In the last elections, it figured out a new wave of interest, with 20% of participation (after

4380-448: The university's main facilities are still today. At the time, it was named Regio Politecnico ("Royal Polytechnic"). The word Regio was removed as Italy was proclaimed a republic at the end of World War II . The historical building still in use today was designed and built by engineers and architects all graduated from the university itself. The present logo, based on a detail of the preparatory sketch of Raphael 's School of Athens ,

Corrosive -resistant pipe materials such as PVC , aluminum and stainless steel are used to transfer water safely due to increases in acidity from pre-treatment. Coagulation is usually the next step, in which salts such as ferric sulfate are used to destabilize organic matter in

4599-439: The water is collected and transferred to a water treatment plant. Once water arrives at a plant, it undergoes a pre-treatment process where it is passed through screens, such as passive screens or bar screens, to stop certain kinds of debris from entering equipment further down the facility that could damage it. After that, a mix of chemicals is added using either a dry chemical feeder or solution metering pumps . To prevent

Flow measurement equipment is used to monitor the flow, which is consistent with no issues occurring. Watersheds are areas where surface water in each area will naturally flow and where it is usually stored after collection. For storm water runoff , natural bodies of water as well as filtration systems are used to store and transfer water. Non-stormwater runoffs use equipment such as septic tanks to treat water onsite, or sewer systems where
