Specific admission requirements
- Formal Requirements Certificate of completion of Italian upper secondary school or equivalent foreign qualification.
Evaluation of specific subject knowledge on entry
Verification of the knowledge required for the attendance of the course of study through a compulsory evaluation test of indicative and non-selective nature; if the test is not passed, the student will be given additional educational obligations and will be granted with: • alignment courses, • tutoring, • online alignment courses, • study of additional texts indicated by the course of study. Foreign students are required to take a test to verify their proficiency of the Italian language, except Erasmus Incoming students, Exchange Students and students in mobility as per the Cooperation Agreement
Profile of the programme
The formative objectives of the course of study are aligned with the national curriculum of the three-years courses in mechanical engineering. The course is organised in two curricula: 1) general, 2) management. Knowledge of maths, information technology and fundamental sciences underlying the engineering disciplines is provided during the first year, in order to create a solid foundation to approach engineering problems. The application perspective is consistently provided during the first year, with frequent examples of application of the acquired knowledge and methods. The second and third year are dedicated to teaching the core disciplines of engineering, covering the subject areas of mechanical, energy, materials, manufacturing and management engineering. The two curricula are differentiated based on the number of credits delivered within the core subject areas. The general curriculum gives ample space to modelling of mechanical systems, product development, applied physics, electric systems and machines, fluid dynamics, and industrial measurement. Fewer credits are reserved to manufacturing, management and design of production plants, and manufacturing economics. Conversely, the management curriculum gives ample space to manufacturing technologies, production plant design and management, and manufacturing economics, statistics and operational research. Disciplines of the general curriculum are still present, but with fewer ECTS. Both curricula also provide knowledge and analytic means that are valid across specific disciplines, as well as bridge knowledge to achieve full-spectrum coverage of mechanical engineering in general. At the end of the third year, activities are planned in the form of case studies to summarise and reorganise acquired knowledge across disciplines. These activities serve also as gateway to prepare the student for future employment, or for undertaking a Master course in engineering disciplines
Programme learning outcomes
Graduates of the programme will be able to demonstrate: - knowledge of the fundamental disciplines of mechanical engineering in the mechanical, materials, management and energy-related domains; - ability to select and apply adequate methods and tools to tackle engineering problems and perform the typical duties of a mechanical engineer.
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 consists of the evaluation of a written essay assigned to the student as a means to assess the analytical and synthesis skills developed by the student during the course
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
The possibility of undertaking work-based learning experiences at companies, research centres and labs within and outside the Department of Engineering is provided. Work-based learning allows the student to integrate and complement a purely academic curriculum, and is aimed at exposing the students to different working realities which they may encounter after graduation.
Occupational profiles of graduates
Graduates will be able to to work in various contexts related to mechanical engineering, and will be able to operate in the public and private sectors, in companies, research centres, service providers, schools and universities, active in the mechanical, manufacturing, energy and management fields.
