  • carry out assigned tasks autonomously, knowing how to plan and organise their work;
  • updating to acquire new skills in order to adapt to the current technological evolution

The Bachelor's degree holder in mechanical engineering has specialised skills and knows how to use the tools to work in the field of machine construction, the dimensioning of mechanical parts, the thermo-fluid-dynamic study of systems and materials science.
 

Educational perspectives

Upon completion of the 精东影业 Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, it is possible to pursue a Master of Science degree in related fields at Swiss and international universities and polytechnics.

For example:

Professional perspectives

 The main professional outlet at the end of the Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering is in the industrial sector, specifically in the area of product and component development of functional groups, machines, industrial automation, robotics and packaging, renewable energy and the transport sector.

The skills acquired allow you to operate in the industrial world by carrying out activities such as:
  • expert in the development and manufacture of innovative products
  • machine and process designer
  • consultant for evaluation, installation, operation and maintenance of mechanical systems
  • developer of automated systems and industrial robotics
  • company representative for testing and managing energy systems and improving energy efficiency
  • design and construction consultant
  • maintenance and operation of railway systems

In the second year, students must indicate two preferred options for the in-depth profiles in order of priority. The activation of each profile is subject to reaching a minimum number of enrollments.

  • Educational differentiation

    The course is characterised by various forms of teaching in which particular attention is paid to the relationship between theory (lectures) and practice (exercises, workshops and projects). Integrated teaching methods are part of some courses and are gradually being developed.

  • Workshops

    The study programme has a strong practical and vocational orientation with numerous exercises and laboratory activities accompanying the theoretical lectures in the classroom. 
    The East Campus has numerous laboratories, machinery and innovative equipment for experimental activities.

  • Theses and projects

    Semester and diploma projects are carried out in cooperation with companies and institutions in the area to confront real issues and get closer to the industrial world.

  • Language

    Courses are mainly delivered in Italian; some subjects are offered in English.

  • Proximity to the student

    Faculty members are very attentive to the relationship with female students and concretize activities in favor of their support.
    Intensive preparatory courses are offered for new freshmen in order to level out incoming skills in math, physics and technical drawing. First-year remedial courses are also offered in the subjects of mathematics, physics and statics. Peer support through repetition activities is also encouraged.

The Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering provides for 180 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System).
 
ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) is the European system for the recognition, transfer and accumulation of educational credits. One ECTS credit corresponds to a workload of approximately 30 hours. One academic year usually corresponds to 60 ECTS credits (1800 working hours).
The course provides mandatory daily attendance for all teaching activities in the first two semesters. From the third semester, attendance is optional for lectures but mandatory for all other teaching activities (tutorials, laboratories, seminars, certification tests, etc.). The course lasts for 3 years.
