- Other useful information
The graduate is a technological engineer experienced in transformation processes with traditional and innovative materials and he/she possesses theoretical and operational skills that ensure significant knowledge of materials engineering and nanotechnology and the associated product and innovation processes. Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach, the graduate in Materials Engineering is able to demonstrate interdisciplinary skills, both theoretical and operational in nature, which will ensure mastery in addressing and solving the main problems of industrial production and design, where transformation processes of materials and nanomaterials or the innovation associated with them are required.
Course description
Failure to pass the test to assess the adequacy of individual preparation does not allow enrolment. Students who have passed the test will be able to enrol after having obtained the aptitude test.
The assessment tests, scheduled according to the annual Announcement of Admission, must in any case be preceded, for each individual candidate, by the verification of the existence of the curricular requirements.
The annual Announcement of Enrolment to the Course of Study will explain the procedures for any exemption from the test (interview) required for access.
Profile
Technological engineer experienced in transformation processes with traditional and innovative materialsFunctions
Functions in a working context:Masterial Materials Engineering and Nanotechnology graduates will be characterised by:
a thorough knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of materials engineering;
a critical awareness of the technological and regulatory developments in the chosen field;
The graduate will possess theoretical and operational skills that will ensure significant knowledge of materials engineering and nanotechnology and the associated product and process innovation processes. In particular, the skills acquired will enable graduates to enter working contexts involving, for example:
-the development of new products and processes for all industries that use transformation processes of metallic, polymeric, composite, nanocomposite, ceramic materials for the manufacture of manufactured goods;
-the development of new products and processes for the biomedical industry
-the development of new products and processes in the area of nanotechnologies for electronic, opto-electronic, biomedical and industrial applications in general
-the design of a new product, process or system, also including the problems related to the management of the product life cycle (from production to distribution to its maintenance) evaluating the specific safety and eco-compatibility issues;
Thanks to the multidisciplinary approach, the graduate in materials engineering will be able to acquire the skills useful to design, build, install, test, effectively manage and control complex production systems (such as machines and plants together with the means to operate them and their related services); to make choices concerning the executive and detailed design and to effectively conduct and plan tests and experimental plans both for the development of a new product and for the control of existing industrial systems.
Specifically, graduates will be able to perform a variety of roles in the process industry, as well as leadership, coordination and managerial roles, in collaboration with other specialised technical figures such as engineers, physicists, chemists, mathematicians, biologists and doctors.
Process roles include:
Process engineer and expert in the development of new products and processes for the metal, polymeric, composite and ceramic materials processing industry; expert engineer in the development of new products and processes for the biomedical industry, expert engineer in the development of new products and processes in the area of nanotechnology for electronic, opto-electronic, biomedical and industrial applications in general
Competences
competences associated with the function:The graduate will acquire interdisciplinary skills, both theoretical and operational in nature, which will ensure mastery in addressing and solving the main problems of industrial production and design, where transformation processes of materials and nanomaterials or the innovation associated with them are required. In particular, their skills will cover
The paper proposed for the final examination, characterised by originality, always refers to a significant experience that may concern:
- a project activity;
- an in-depth study of a basic or applied research theme;
- an experimental research activity, carried out in university laboratories or at external organisations.
