Degree program classL09 Industrial Engineering
Language Italian
Duration 3 yearsCourse description
The Degree Program trains engineers with skills in Process and Product design and in the management of industrial plants. The program is organized into a “Processes” curriculum and a “Food” curriculum, that provides knowledge in these sectors. The curricula allow the acquisition of specific and transversal skills that integrate the basic ones (mathematics, physics, chemistry) and those related to specific disciplines (thermodynamics, principles of chemical engineering, design, industrial chemistry) that model and optimize the transformation processes of raw materials. This training path can be completed with the Master’s Degree
Students with a secondary school diploma (5-year course) and students with another qualification obtained abroad and recognized as suitable. Ideal candidates are students with an interest in STEM science subjects such as maths, chemistry, and physics
The main objective is to train engineers capable of planning, managing and directing plants and processes in different sectors of the processing industry through basic, transversal and specific skills. The fundamental disciplines are common for the two curricula Processes and Food, which differ only in four key subjects
Chemical engineers are employed in the chemical, food, petroleum, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, energy and materials industries, in service and consulting companies, and in public and regulatory agencies. They can also work in the fields of research and innovation, for the development of innovative processes and new products and materials.
