Course info
The 2nd cycle Degree course in Mechanical Engineering aims to train young people eligible to work in public and private research centers, and to carry out professional activities of high scientific and technical profile, also supporting industrial or university research; particular attention is paid, in line with the cultural vastness of Mechanical Engineering, as it has established itself over the decades, both nationally and internationally, to its three typical aspects: the design, manufacture and operation of mechanical artifacts . These educational objectives will be achieved through a process of structured training, which, after the joint acquisition of the necessary mathematical insights, and concepts related to statistics, electronics, and automatics, will address in particular: - with regard to the project, issues related to the "design" of mechanical machinery and equipment, the mechanical characterization of traditional and innovative materials, the analysis of voltages and non-intrusive measurements; - with regard to the production, issues related to machining and also thermal treatments of metallic, plastic and composite materials, the organization of industrial production and quality control; - with regard to operations, issues related to continuous and non-continuous combustion, as in internal combustion engines, cogeneration and energy saving plants using compressible fluid machines, of refrigerant systems and their relevant operating displacement machines.
Profile: Senior Mechanical Engineer Functions: - design of components and machines, under the construction and functional/energetic perspective. - Design of industrial plants, systems, and processes, under the functional, energetic, and economic perspective. - Operation of machines, plants, systems, and processes. - Research and development activity under the theoretical and experimental perspective. Skills: Freelance activity in the design of components and plants. Production official in production facilities. The mechanical engineer carries out its functions in companies, public or private bodies or as a freelancer, working both independently and within working groups, often multidisciplinary ones, also taking responsibility for coordination. Investigations carried out by the Inter-University Consortium ALMALAUREA in the years 2008 to 2011 indicate that the employment sectors of the holders of a 2nd cycle degree in mechanical engineering are the industry for about 80% and services for the 18%. With regard to the industrial sector, 50% of the total number of graduates find employment in the Metalworking and precision engineering industry, 15% in the Chemical / Energy, 8% in the Building industry, 7 % in other manufacturing sectors. The natural professional areas for mechanical engineer are: the mechanical and electromechanical industry; the chemical industry, companies and institutions for energy conversion, plant engineering companies, industrial automation and robotics companies, manufacturing firms in general for the production, installation, testing, maintenance and operation of machines, lines and production departments, complex systems. Almost all industrial sectors require such professional, therefore they may find professional opportunities in several fields.
The final examination consists of the public discussion of a dissertation; the final examination is regulated in accordance to the decision of the Academic Senate, session of 6 November 2012, and of the subsequent regulations, approved by the Board of the Degree Course on 12/02/2013.
