Formal Requirements Italian First cycle qualification (Laurea) or foreign equivalent in the same or related subject area, with possible extra work if required competences are lacking.

Profile of the programme

The course is aimed to provide an advanced education level in the professional and technical sectors concerning: the design of components, systems and facilities; the management of industrial plants; the research and the innovation. Graduate students are able to develop advanced projects in terms of: products and processes including the functional; energetic and manufacturing aspects; the choice of the proper materials; the trimming and the management of facilities for its optimizations. Main teaching will concern: the fluid-dynamic; the heat exchange; the thermal machines; the mechanical systems; the sensors and; the industrial plants management. For this both theoretical and practical approaches are provided.

Programme learning outcomes

Graduates of the programme will be able to: - ability to work in the different sectors of the mechanical engineering. - knowledge of: materials for mechanical components; energy plants; industrial plants; sensors; machine and mechanical devices building. - Understanding and analysis of complex and advanced technical problems.

Qualification requirements and regulations

Admission to the final test for the achievement of the qualification will require that the student has acquired all the credits foreseen in the study plan for training activities other than the final test. The final test for the achievement of the qualification is public and consists of the presentation of a thesis work to a special commission. Thesis could be experimental and/or based on design activity. The candidate will develop his/her work autonomously under the supervision of a teacher of the course. It is also possible to develop the thesis in collaboration with companies. The activity performed will be summarized in a monography.

Examination regulations and grading scale

Assessment is normally an oral or written exam; in some cases there are intermediate exams during the course; other evaluation elements (seminars, reports, etc.) can be foreseen in specific course units and are described in the Course Unit Profiles. The grades for subject exams are measured in thirtieths (0-30 scale), the minimum grade is 18/30 and the maximum grade is 30/30. The maximum grade can be enhanced with “cum laude” (30 cum laude), in case of excellence. Grades are given by an exam commission of at least two teachers, whose President is the chair of the subject. The main exam sessions are held in January/February, March/April, June/July, September/October. Students may retake exams, if not passed. The University provides an ECTS Grading Table, which shows the actual distribution of the examination and final grades among students for each degree programme. The final degree evaluation is expressed in one hundred and tenths (0-110 scale), the minimum grade is 66/110 and the maximum grade is 110/110. The calculation of the final grade of each candidate takes into account the average of the grades obtained in the subject exams, as well as the quality of the work performed in research or in the final thesis which is discussed in public before an exam commission. “Cum laude” (110 cum laude) may be added to the maximum grade if the exam commission decides unanimously.

Obligatory or optional mobility windows

Mobility windows are available for work-based learning and for the participation to student exchange programmes such as Erasmus. Mobility is not mandatory and students are free to choose the type of experience and when to do it during the curriculum, based on individual formative needs.

Work-based learning

Both internal and external work-based learning are possible. External activities can be performed in companies or other external laboratories and research centres. Internal activities will be performed in laboratories of the Department of Engineering.

Occupational profiles of graduates

The main occupational profile of graduates are: - employee in public administrations and the mechanical, manufacturing, and services industry along with research venters, schools and universities - professional in the field of design, management, control, planning and analysis of complex systems and activities.
