Specific objectives.
The specific educational objective of the 2nd cycle Degree Course in Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering for Industry is the training of professionals capable of designing, controlling and managing complex processes and systems, in the fields of industrial and information engineering and of the related smart automation issues (robotics, automation, cyber-physical systems, smart factories, industry 4.0).
The multidisciplinary educational programme, with a strong focus in the automation sector, is enriched by general skills in industrial and information engineering, aims at training strongly specialised engineers, through a specific training focusing on process engineering and on the operation and control of complex systems.
In the context of these systems, Cyber-Physical Systems Engineers for Industry are capable of planning the targets to be achieves, formulating the control problem taking into account these targets, solve the problem in an optimal way, produce a hardware/software model/prototype of the whole system and fully feature its performance.
Thanks to the knowledge and skills acquired during the Course, graduates in Cyber-Physical Systems Engineering for Industry will reach sound design ability, addressed primarily to the cyber-physical systems and to ICT, which are founding and strategic elements for the development of modern processes for the production, distribution and supply of goods and services, with a specific attention to the needs of the so-called intelligent and interconnected industry.
The training of these professionals consists of in-depth education in class-specific sectors, with respect, in particular, to automation, integrated with specific, soft and interdisciplinary skills in sectors of industrial and information engineering, aiming at the development and the application of cyber-physical systems in the process industry and in spart automation.
More in detail, the educational programme includes:
- A group of class-specific subjects in the sectors of automation engineering (automation, mechanics applied to machines, converters, electrical machines and drives), providing specialist knowledge and skills in the fields of industrial and mobile robotics, digital control and in the evaluation, filtering and identification of systems, as well as insights related to applied mechanics and mechanical systems dynamics and industrial electrical drives;
- A group of related subjects, in the sectors of industrial engineering (processing technologies and systems, design and methods of industrial engineering, mechanical industrial plants), providing specialist knowledge and skills in the fields of advanced and additive manufacturing, process and systems simulation, quality control, supply chain management, advanced modelling and visualisation techniques;
- A group of related subjects, in the sectors of information engineering (electronics, measures, information processing systems, telecommunications), providing advanced and interdisciplinary skills in the fields od electronics for the industrial IOT, automatic measurement systems and related sensors, Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms, Cyber-security and Cloud security.
The Course includes several laboratory activities of high interest in almost all the provided courses and is completed by elective activities (internship, conferences, seminars, workshops, educational activities and elective subjects), enabling an integrated training through the study of subjects related to other scientific-engineering filed as well as the acquisition of context-related knowledge and skills, useful to enter the labour market.
