Tracks and Courses
Second-year Master’s students must choose their courses by selecting one of the suggested tracks to attend in one of our campuses (Milano Bovisa, Piacenza, and Lecco).
Tracks and Courses
ME1: PRODUCTION SYSTEMS
By attending the ME1: Production Systems track, students acquire the skills to design and manage industrial production systems. This track courses cover topics that allow future professionals to:
- Design industrial plants;
- Design and manage production systems and their logistics;
- Manage the maintenance of industrial technologies and the automation of the industrial systems.
ME2: MECHATRONICS AND ROBOTICS
The courses of the ME2: Mechatronics and Robotics track will provide students the engineering expertise needed to design a mechanical system equipped with interactive and smart high-tech systems, such as autonomous systems and vehicles along with industrial vehicles and robots. Graduates are professional mechanical system design engineers, capable of implementing all basic principles of automation, electrical, and information engineering.

ME3: VIRTUAL PROTOTYPING
By attending the ME3: Virtual Prototyping track, students will learn how to use a systematic approach to design products while taking into account system architecture and efficiently using simulation methods and technologies based on paradigms of:
- Virtual prototyping;
- Virtual Factory;
- Virtual Humans.
ME4: INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES AND TURBOMACHINERY
By attending the ME4: Internal Combustion Engines and Turbomachinery track, students will acquire all basic skills to understand how engines and turbomachinery work and be able to design and manage projects involving again ICEs and turbomachinery, including pumps, compressors and turbines, focusing on their:
- Dimension;
- Development;
- Choice;
- Functioning.
ME5: ADVANCED MECHANICAL DESIGN
By attending the ME5: Advanced Mechanical Design track, students will learn to design mechanical systems and their components by using advanced and innovative methods. Graduates will have acquired the technical skills, methods, and principles, to manage and solve problems linked to:
- Mechanical design;
- Component and system design;
- Adequate design materials to use.
ME6: ADVANCED MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURING
By attending the ME6: Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, students will acquire the skills needed in working environments in which being able to propose innovative and technological solutions and usage of advanced materials is a competitive key element. Graduates will be capable of:
