Profile of the programme

The educational objectives of the Degree Course are in line with what is prescribed for the three-year courses in Industrial Engineering The knowledge of mathematics, computer science and basic sciences is the goal to be achieved in the first year, to form the methodological and operational support for the understanding and interpretation of engineering problems. The application perspective is a key element of the training and, when possible, integrated courses are provided that adequately exemplify it. The second and third years are essentially dedicated to the knowledge of the characterizing and integrative engineering disciplines

Programme learning outcomes

Graduates of the programme will be able to demonstrate: - knowledge of the fundamental disciplines of industrial 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 industrial 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.
