Overview

The academic activities planned for the Master’s Degree in Industrial Automation Engineering aim to provide students with engineering competences from the industrial automation field, with a particular attention to management and financing issues typical of companies and of the market contest.
Graduates will be able to be knowledgeable of theoretical and practical aspects of basic engineering disciplines with a specific deepening on the automation engineering; they will be able to identify, state and solve, also using innovative thinking, complex problems or issues that require an interdisciplinary approach. They will also be able to:
• Design, plan, project and manage innovative and complex systems, processes and services.
• Design and manage highly complex experiments.
• Use their strong background on the contest and their cross-sector skills.
• Use their knowledge of business management and professional ethics

Classes are focused on Automation, Electrical machines and drives, Robotics and embedded systems, Telecommunications, Electronic,
Organization Theory, Logistic, Management.

Students can choose between two main tracks:
