The overall aim of the degree programme is to train professionals whose training combines the typical knowledge of industrial engineering with an understanding of the issues and methods involved in business organisation and management, and in particular of production and logistics processes. The range of skills required of a management engineer is extremely broad, as they are professionals called upon to manage complex processes characterised by a wide variety of factors – technical, economic, managerial, financial, organisational, etc. – and by resources with specific characteristics, such as human resources, with the aim of capitalising on all opportunities for integration and synergy to achieve the company’s ultimate objective. To ensure a broad and interdisciplinary education, the programme also includes work placements and professional experience, enabling graduates to integrate quickly and successfully into a wide variety of companies across various economic sectors. This training enables graduates to approach problems with an interdisciplinary perspective, demonstrating a strong aptitude for teamwork with technical staff and managers from diverse backgrounds, and the ability to rapidly adapt their skills to changing job requirements. Their primary field of work is therefore the management of production facilities and logistics systems within a business context, including aspects of technical and economic evaluation, business organisation, management control and finance. The graduate profile is that of a professional who possesses a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the issues involved in managing a production and logistics system, and the ability to apply this understanding both in the design, sizing, installation and commissioning of such a system, and in the organisation, operation, management and maintenance of the system itself. The degree programme spans three years and involves the acquisition of a total of 180 CFU, divided into core, specialised, related or supplementary modules, as well as modules chosen by the student, in addition to activities relating to the preparation for the final examination, the assessment of foreign language proficiency and the acquisition of further knowledge useful for entering the world of work. Some of these modules may optionally be undertaken as part of international mobility programmes at partner universities abroad.
 


Graduates in Management Engineering possess a background which, whilst encompassing the knowledge typical of traditional industrial engineering sectors, enables them to integrate this with an understanding of the issues and methods involved in the organisation and management of businesses, and of production and logistics processes in particular.

Role in a work context

The graduate’s training enables them to approach problems with an interdisciplinary perspective, without an excessive degree of technological specialisation, but with a strong aptitude for working collaboratively with technicians and managers from diverse backgrounds, and with the ability to adapt their skills rapidly to changing job requirements.

Their primary field of activity is therefore the design and management of production facilities and logistics systems within a business context, including aspects of integrated technical and economic assessment, business organisation, management control and finance.

This profile describes a professional who possesses a comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the issues involved in managing a production and logistics system, and the ability to apply this understanding both in the configuration, sizing, installation and commissioning of such a system, and in the organisation, operation, management and maintenance of the system itself.

Skills

The key skills possessed by graduates in Management Engineering relate to:
- the sizing and management of production plants and plant components (including energy and maintenance aspects);
- the handling, storage, procurement and management of materials;
- process management, management control, and business and production organisation;
- the implementation and maintenance of quality management systems;
- the coordination and execution of projects, including those involving product or process innovation;
- technical and economic assessments of investments, initiatives and acquisitions in small or medium-sized industrial enterprises.

Career prospects

Graduates in Management Engineering find employment both in small and medium-sized enterprises – which, for the most part, make up the national manufacturing sector – and in large companies and areas of excellence that characterise the relevant manufacturing sector in terms of quality. At the same time, there are ample employment opportunities in service and consultancy firms, in the public sector and in strategic sectors (for example: energy, healthcare and finance). Within the scope of the skills acquired, graduates may practise as self-employed professionals, particularly in support of small and medium-sized enterprises and service providers, and sit the professional qualification examination to be registered on the register of engineers.
 


The overall aim of the degree programme is to train engineers with a multidisciplinary background that transcends traditional areas of industrial engineering, equipping them with the ability to integrate knowledge typical of the wider field of industrial engineering with a sound understanding of the issues and methods involved in business organisation and management, and of production and logistics processes in particular.

It is worth emphasising the exceptionally broad spectrum of knowledge that must characterise the management engineer, as they are called upon to design and manage complex processes, characterised by the use of highly diverse factors – technical, economic and organisational – and resources with specific characteristics, such as human resources, with the aim of capitalising on all opportunities for integration and synergy to achieve the objectives of industrial production.

Internships and work placements are also designed to provide a broad and interdisciplinary education, enabling graduates to integrate quickly and successfully into a wide variety of manufacturing and process-based companies.

The graduate’s training enables them to approach problems with an interdisciplinary perspective, without excessive technological specialisation but with a strong aptitude for working collaboratively with technicians and managers from diverse backgrounds, and with the ability to adapt their skills rapidly to changing job requirements.

The course is organised over three years so as to enable students to acquire, generally during the first year, fundamental knowledge in the fields of mathematics – including probability theory and statistics – physics, chemistry and metallurgy, the basic concepts of computer science, and methods of industrial technical drawing.

The second year generally focuses on the acquisition of skills specific to industrial engineering, with particular reference to technological, mechanical, construction and modelling aspects, as well as the necessary knowledge in the fields of electrical and electronic engineering, thermodynamics and thermofluid dynamics, and an introduction to fundamental economic concepts.

The third year is generally devoted to acquiring the knowledge that constitutes, in terms of both content and methodology, the defining cornerstones of management engineering. This includes knowledge relating to the design and management of industrial plants and logistics processes, business economics and organisation, quality management and management control systems, as well as the fundamentals of corporate finance.

Also in the third year, laboratory activities are provided which serve as a comprehensive introduction to the issues and business methodologies involved in the management of production systems, developed in accordance with the principles of methodological rigour and a logical-quantitative approach. Furthermore, provision is made for work placements or internships aimed at training and career guidance with a view to entering the world of work.
