Overview

The programme has two curricula: Industrial and Formative. The aim of the Industrial curriculum is to educate mechanical engineers for immediate employment in industry, with occupations in design, manufacturing and management of mechanical products and systems. The aim of the Formative curriculum is to educate students with solid theoretical basis for access to the master’s degree, during which advanced competences for the design, manufacturing and management of mechanical products and systems with high technological content and innovation will be developed.
The context of reference for both curricula is that of companies and organisations active in the industrial sectors of automotive, automation, machines and plants for energy conversion, manufacturing equipment and in general the industrial production of components, machines and mechanical systems.
