Profile

Technological engineer experienced in transformation processes with traditional and innovative materials

Functions

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
