About
The Master of Science in Engineering Management combines advanced engineering skills with management knowledge, offering an interdisciplinary education. The goal is to train professionals capable of managing complex systems, implementing innovative strategies and leading the digital and sustainable transformation of enterprises.
The skills and knowledge characterizing chef year part of the training objectives are:
- Knowledge: complex systems theory, management of production and logistics systems, business economics, technological innovation.
- Skills: process analysis and modeling, use of data analytics tools, implementation of emerging technologies.
- Soft skills: leadership, problem-solving, teamwork, effective communication in international settings.
Training objectives can be organized into four areas:
- Technical-engineering domain: provide a solid foundation in managing industrial and technological processes.
- Economic-managerial domain: develop analytical and decision-making skills in management.
- Emerging technologies domain: deepen knowledge on artificial intelligence, automation and sustainability.
- Transversal scope: improve communication and leadership skills.
The MSc provides a total of 120 ECTS spread over two academic years, with a balanced mix of:
- Dispensed Didactics and Interactive Didactics: lectures, tutorials, labs, group work and case study analysis for which 8 hours per ECTS are provided.
- Self-study: guided self-study, e-learning activities, for which 17 hours per cfu are thus provided.
The training course provides an in-depth understanding of the disciplines of Management Engineering, in the following learning areas:
- Production and logistics systems management: skills to choose transformational technologies and manage industrial plants and systems from a sustainable perspective, combining economic, environmental and social objectives.
- Digitization and business analysis: skills to implement digital technologies and interpret business data, which are essential to improve competitiveness and support strategic decisions.
- Product and process innovation: skills to introduce new technologies and optimize design and production processes in the manufacturing industry, with a focus on sustainability.
The chronological progression of training is detailed by the attached Tuning Matrix. Modes of testing include:
- Written and oral examinations to ascertain theoretical knowledge.
- Project work to assess application skills.
- Intermediate formative assessments, such as online quizzes and peer reviews, to monitor student progress.
The course is completed with a formative internship and the preparation of a final thesis, which the student may carry out through a project applied to a company case study, or performed in one of the departmental laboratories, or through a theoretical study on one of the subjects taught in the course of study under the supervision of the Course Lecturer.
