Il Presidente inizia l’esame dei punti all’O.d.G.
1. Comunicazioni.
Il Presidente comunica che in data 24-1-14 la segreteria dell’ufficio presidenza della facoltà di
ingegneria ha inviato al Senato Accademico, per le operazioni di competenza, la richiesta di
istituzione del Consiglio Scientifico dei Corsi di Dottorato della Facoltà di Ingegneria.
Il Presidente dà lettura della lettera dell’ADI con la quale l’associazione dottorandi ringrazia il
Consiglio della Scuola che si era espresso favorevolmente in merito all’abolizione del contributo
per l’acceso ai corsi di dottorato.
Il presidente comunica che in data 18 dicembre 2013 il Consiglio Direttivo dell’ANVUR ha
approvato il documento “L’accreditamento dei corsi di dottorato”. Per ulteriori comunicazioni il
Presidente invita il Prof. Chiaraluce, che, su incarico del rettore ha approfondito l’esame del
documento, ad illustrarne il contenuto. Dall’esposizione fatta dal Prof. Chiaraluce si evince che, al
di là di generici richiami alla qualità a alla meritocrazia, la proposta contiene incongruenze, lacune e
punti oscuri che di fatto ne rendono inapplicabili i criteri suggeriti.
……… omissis …………
2. Ratifica determinazioni del direttore.
……… omissis …………
3. Autorizzazioni attività extra-dottorato dei dottorandi
……… omissis …………
4. Pratiche studenti.
……… omissis …………
5. Organizzazione della scuola di dottorato.
Il presidente ricorda che in data 6-12-13 era stata approvata la proposta di organizzare anche per il
2014 il Dottorato Day con le stesse modalità degli anni precedenti, nelle possibili date del 4 o 11
aprile. L’esposizione sintetica dei lavori per aree tematiche si terrà nelle aule di quota 155,
compatibilmente con altre attività. L’atrio antistante le aule sarà utilizzato come spazio espositivo.
Come per l’edizione 2013, si chiederà la collaborazione del Prof. Iacobucci e dell’ILO. Tutti i
consiglieri sono invitati a proporre i nominativi dei loro contatti personali presso le aziende al fine
di pubblicizzare l’evento. Il presidente propone che i coordinatori di curriculum si attivino per
comunicare l’iniziativa ai dottorandi, sollecitare la preparazione dei poster e dei riassunti estesi da
inserire nel sito del dottorato.
Il Consiglio approva.
6. Ripartizione risorse.

Le richieste di Donnini e Nardinocchi, approvate seduta stante dal consiglio, sono state inserite in
Tabella 1 poiché richieste pregresse.
Prima di passare all’esame delle nuove richieste di accesso ai fondi di mobilità, il Presidente ricorda
al consiglio che nella seduta del 27-2-13 è stata regolamentata la procedura di inoltro al consiglio di
tali richieste, stabilendo che siano esaminate le sole richieste che pervengono al direttore dai
coordinatori di curriculum. E’ stato anche deliberato che al fine di poter garantire l’accesso ai fondi
di mobilità al massimo numero possibile di dottorandi, è stato adottato dal consiglio, in modo
definitivo, il principio del cofinanziamento. Più specificatamente, nello stabilire il tetto massimo di
spesa, sarà data priorità alla copertura delle spese di viaggio e di iscrizione a congressi o a scuole.
Il Presidente sottopone al Consiglio l’esame analitico delle nuove proposte di utilizzo dei fondi di
Ateneo per la mobilità dei dottorandi, pervenute secondo le modalità stabilite dal consiglio di cui
alla Tabella 2, per l’A.A. 2012-2013

Il Presidente propone che le richieste formulate in Tabella 2 siano approvate con i relativi tetti di
spesa, ad eccezione delle richieste Cippitelli e Giosuè, che sono iscritti al XV ciclo, sul quale la
Scuola di Dottorato non ha facoltà di deliberare.
Il Presidente ricorda che nella seduta del 18 settembre 2013 fu deciso: “… che la parte residua dei
fondi per la mobilità che non siano stati spesi o impegnati entro il 30 novembre 2013 sia
redistribuita tra i curricula con i criteri finora adottati….”. Il Presidente propone di dare attuazione
alla delibera.
Dalla discussione emerge la volontà del Consiglio di ripartire il fondo residuo di 7958 €, (vedi
Tabella Riassuntiva), con lo stesso criterio proporzionale, impegnando i fondi fino al loro
esaurimento con i criteri finora adottati, e mantenendo memoria di come il fondo residuo è stato
utilizzato dai curricula. Il presidente, sulla base delle missioni approvate, (vedi Tabella 2), propone
pertanto l’approvazione della Tabella N.3, di seguito riportata.

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
