Through an intense program that merges in-depth fundamental engineering knowledge with breadth in emerging, interdisciplinary areas, this program allows graduate students to gain advanced knowledge, improve the ability of creating a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, meet objectives, and solve complex problems in many Engineering areas. The program is indeed grounded on hands-on research and on collaborative learning opportunities, such that enrolled students may develop their talent and improve their understanding of the principles underpinning the Management Engineering discipline.
Specifically, the study plan includes theoretical studies along with practical experience training, exploited by means of computer and laboratory work in our state-of-the-art facilities, as well as research and development ongoing projects that are carried out in these labs. Additional learning tools involve visits to companies and specialized seminars held by professionals from the industry and renowned experts from international research institutions.
Students’ knowledge is assessed through oral and written exams, providing them with workplace settings in which to deliver their work professionally. Also, a written thesis document and a final thesis defense are required in order to complete the program. This final work consists in a comprehensive project, which is aimed at demonstrating students’ abilities to develop their own original and innovative solutions to complex engineering problems, and report research in a concise, scientifically sound manner. The oral defense represents the final examination, which finalizes the program and allows students to achieve the Master’s Degree.
