      Student projects are activities in which groups of students, usually coordinated by a faculty member, work on the design and construction of device engineering artifacts or machinery that they then submit to specific competitions in which these are placed in competition with similar devices made by students from other Italian and foreign universities. These are excellent opportunities to put engineering knowledge and creative talents into practice by competing with peers studying at other universities. The University of Padua has a long tradition in these competitions, where it has often garnered important awards, even at the international level, a confirmation of the technological excellence of our University also confirmed by the recent evaluations carried out by the national agency ANVUR, which saw it excel in Italy in the area of Industrial Engineering and 6 other scientific areas, out of a total of 14 areas overall. Participation is on a voluntary basis and subject to acceptance by the faculty member coordinating the project.

    The student project aims to collect and work on scientific material related to fighting climate change, especially in the energy sector. The aim is to gather concrete and sustainable proposals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Those who participate in the project also have the opportunity to develop their own computational models for the analysis and optimization of energy systems aimed at promoting the decarbonization process. These models will be integrated into an open source optimization platform aimed at suggesting strategies and plans for decarbonization of any energy systems. The project considers not only technological and engineering aspects, but proposes a multidisciplinary approach that also evaluates the environmental, economic and sociopolitical aspects involved in the energy transition, which must be sustainable. The project is organized according to working groups on macro-topics such as technological aspects, resource availability, energy consumption, system modeling and optimization, environmental impact, legislative aspects, and sociopolitical aspects. This subdivision promotes team working within each group and collaboration among the groups with respect to the final goal.
