Politecnico di Milano Masters Degrees in Mechatronics

Mission and goals

The Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to a Master of Science) trains professionals with solid engineering foundations, a good scientific approach and a broad range of technical and applied contents. The level of cultural education is raised during the first year by broadening the knowledge of advanced analysis methods, which in the second year are applied in specialisation subjects and a thesis. The first year is offered in the Milano Bovisa and Lecco campuses with the same study plan (the first year is not available in the Piacenza campus, which offers only the second year). Students can choose different previously approved study plans (PSPA) in the second year. Some are offered in the Milano Bovisa campus (“Impianti e Produzione” [Production Plants and Production], “Meccatronica e Robotica” [Mechatronics and Robotics], “Metodi e Tecniche di Prototipazione Virtuale” [Methods and Techniques for Virtual Prototyping], “Motori e Turbomacchine” [Engines and Turbomachinery], “Progettazione” [Design], “Materiali e Tecnologie Innovative” [Materials and Innovative Technologies] and “Veicoli Terrestri” [Ground Vehicles]). Others are offered in the Lecco campus (“Mechanical Systems Design” and “Industrial Production”) and one in the Piacenza campus (“Macchine Utensili e Sistemi di Produzione” [Machine Tools and Production Systems]).

Career opportunities

Graduates with a Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to a Master of Science) in Mechanical Engineering are technicians who can independently develop the functional, construction and energy-related aspects of innovative products, processes and systems in industry and in the advanced tertiary sector. On passing the State Professional Examination, Mechanical Engineering Graduates with a Laurea Magistrale (equivalent to a Master of Science) can ask to be included in the Register of Engineers (section A).

The MSc Programme in Mechanical Engineering – Ingegneria Meccanica provides an academically challenging exposure to modern issues in advanced Mechanical Engineering.
The educational goal of the MSc Programme is to train highly qualified engineers, capable of playing different roles in the job market, by providing them with sound scientific, economic and technical competences, together with broad practical and professional skills needed for a successful career in a technologically advanced and rapidly evolving society.
The specialist in Mechanical Engineering, being involved in the design, production process and operation of products and systems, needs to develop a strong interdisciplinary background in machine design, with respect to functional requirements, dynamic and structural analysis, propulsion and engine systems, fluid mechanics, material properties and selection, manufacturing processes and production systems, operation and management of industrial plants, experimental techniques, mechatronics and industrial automation. The programme is taught in English. http://www.ccsmecc.polimi.it/en

Subjects

The 1st year is organised in the following compulsory modules: Control and Actuating Devices for Mechanical Systems, Applied Metallurgy, Energy Systems, Nonconventional Machining Processes, Machine Design, Mechanical System Dynamics, Mechanical Measurements, Configuration and Management of Production Systems.

In the 2nd year students will have the possibility to specialize the training, by choosing among the following tracks:
Milano Bovisa Campus: Production Systems, Mechatronics and robotics, Virtual prototyping, Internal Combustion Engines and Turbomachinery, Advanced Mechanical Design, Advanced Materials and Technology, Ground Vehicles.
Lecco Campus: Mechanical Systems Design, Industrial Production.
Piacenza Campus: Machine Tools and Manufacturing Systems.

Mission and goals

The graduate in Automation and Control Engineering is an expert who can actively participate and take the lead in the executive design and development of products and systems. She/he may take on full responsibility for designing, installing, testing and maintaining complex machines and systems. The goal of the Automation and Control Engineering programme is to provide the graduate with a strong background in fundamental scientific disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, in classical engineering fields, such as thermodynamics, mechanics, electric drives, automatic control, and in the disciplines of the information and telecommunication technology, like computer science, electronics, communication networks. Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of her/his background, the graduate has all the necessary skills to design or manage systems resulting from the integration of highly diverse components and technologies. This flexibility both in the attitude and in the competences is a significant asset of the Automation and Control Engineer, in view of the large variety of possible applications, of the continuous and rapid evolution of the technologies, as well as of the dynamics of the job market.

Career opportunities

Automation and Control Engineering offers challenging and fulfilling careers for engineering technologists in design, research and development, and technical support, in many fields where automation and control are of paramount importance, such as: (a) industry producing manufacturing systems, automatic machines, robotic systems, mechatronic systems; (b) process industry (pulp and paper, energy production and conversion, chemical and petrochemical industry, etc.); (c) transportation systems (ground, marine and aerospace), concerning both the development of vehicles (cars, boats, helicopters, aircrafts, satellites), and the design, management and control of infrastructures; (d) transportation and distribution networks; (e) food industry; (f) electrical appliances and domotics; (g) environmental resources.

Typical companies where the automation and control engineers may operate include those producing and selling automation systems (both hardware and software); companies that use automated production plants or that manage highly complex services; engineering and consulting firms that design and project complex, economically challenging and technologically advanced plants and systems.
