1 Double Degree in Management Engineering & Mechanical Engineering

2 General presentation of the study programme The Double Degree in Management Engineering and Mechanical Engineering aims to capture the emerging need of the Italian and European industrial and manufacturing sector, which is strategic and relevant for the economy. In particular, such sector, in order to compete within the international markets, is looking for a new professional figure able to integrate the typical skills of a management engineer with the key technical competencies of a mechanical engineer. Such objective could be reached by the cultural closeness of the two programmes, that present several commonalities, although showing specific differences that can, nonetheless, be easily compensated through a common programme.

3 General presentation of the study programme In Mechanical Engineering programme focus is given to the development of capabilities of designing products and processes, but management courses find limited place. In Management Engineering programme focus is given to different aspects of corporate, supply chain and operations management, also even beyond production activities (thus including financial aspects), nonetheless with minor competencies on technological and design topics. The Double Degree in Management Engineering & Mechanical Engineering offers a unique opportunity to take the major benefits from both the approaches, thus fulfilling the existing gaps in the two single programmes. The integration of Management Engineering & Mechanical Engineering programmes stems from such needs, thus aiming to develop a professional technician, with a solid industrial technical background, well matched with a managerial vision, thus being really appealing for the work market.

4 Structure of the study programme In order to complete the study programme of the Double Degree in Mechanical Engineering & Management Engineering a total of 180 credits over 3 years should be awarded: ECTS: Alignment courses (alignment of competencies from respective Bachelor Programmes) ECTS: Basic Management Courses (offered by the Master of Science in Management Engineering) ECTS: Basic Mechanical Courses (offered by the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering) ECTS: Specialized Tracks either in Management Engineering or in Mechanical Engineering ECTS: Interdisciplinary dissertation, supervised by two faculty members (Mechanical Engineering and Management Engineering) and developed typically with the involvement of an enterprise.

5 Enrolment - Access requirements Applicants must be in possession of a Bachelor of Science in Management Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or in Industrial Production Engineering (currently offered at Lecco Campus). Nonetheless, admission to the Double Degree could be requested by graduates from other programmes. In this case, a precise and accurate study of the curricular supplements will be carried out. Admitted students to the Double Degree should be less or equal to
