Profile

Master's Degree Mechanical Engineer

Functions

Graduates in Master's Degree Mechanical Engineering will be characterized by:
an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of mechanical engineering;
a critical awareness of the technological and regulatory evolution of the chosen sector;
The graduate will acquire theoretical and operational skills that will guarantee significant knowledge of mechanical engineering and related innovation. In particular, their knowledge will concern:
product, process and system design, including issues related to the management
of the product life cycle (from production to distribution to maintenance) by evaluating the
specific safety and maintenance issues;
alternative energy sources, machines and energy systems, issues related to energy savings and environmental impact;
the functionality, design and sizing of mechanical parts, of the mechanical assembly,
of machines, of the experimentation resulting from proving the effectiveness of the design choices, the
systems for the construction of mechanical systems and the resulting logistics;
experimental methods and related experiment design techniques.
The master's engineer must be able to analyse even complex issues both with regard to the design of mechanical products and of industrial technologies and processes thanks to specific knowledge of the functionality of modern instrumentation. Furthermore, the training acquired will allow him to develop new methods aimed at improving the functionality, behavioral analysis and diagnostics of industrial machines and structures as well as the development of systems and equipment aimed at improving industrial processes.
Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach, the graduate in Mechanical Engineering will be able to acquire the skills needed to design, build, install, test, effectively manage and control complex production systems (such as machines and systems together with the means to operate them and the related connected services);
make choices regarding the executive and detailed design and effectively conduct and plan tests and experimental plans both for the purposes of developing a new product and for the purposes of controlling industrial systems.

Skills

The graduate will acquire theoretical and operational skills that will guarantee significant knowledge of mechanical engineering and related innovation. In particular, their knowledge will concern:
product, process and system design, including issues related to the management
of the product life cycle (from production to distribution to maintenance) evaluating the
specific safety and maintenance issues;
alternative energy sources, machines and energy systems, issues related to energy savings and environmental impact;
the functionality, design and sizing of mechanical parts, of the mechanical assembly, of machines, of the consequent experimentation to prove the effectiveness of the design choices, the systems for the construction of mechanical systems and the consequent logistics;
experimental methods and related experiment design techniques.

Place

The graduate in Mechanical Engineering finds employment in both public bodies and in private and public companies (both in the design fields and in the fields of effective management of industrial technologies and systems). After passing the state exam, he/she can also register with the professional order of engineers and enter the world of the freelance profession of industrial engineer (mechanical and management sector), having the possibility of offering his/her skills also in the aeronautical, naval, nuclear, biomechanical and materials fields.
Thanks to the multidisciplinary skills, the Master's engineer will be able to perform the functions of production manager/technologist, manager of research and development units in private companies and research centers, energy manager, mechanical designer. In short, the Master's engineer will have the possibility of insertion in all the fields characterizing industrial processes, from the project to the final technical assistance.
