The programme

Here you can find an overview of the degree programme, including information on its organisation and regulations, as well as a number of useful information. In addition, this section includes an overview of the University’s Quality Assurance system and the Student Orientation services available to prospective students, to help them choose the right course for them.

The new website of the Student Orientation Office, with new form and content, is the result of a long process aimed at providing a better and more comprehensive service to its many users. Users are mostly secondary school pupils approaching the University for the first time, and schools' University Orientation Services which organise activities to assist their pupils in post-school choices. Making a decision means choosing the best alternative to satisfy one's expectations, preferences and aspirations.

OBIETTIVI SPECIFICI DEL CORSO DI STUDIO
Obiettivo del corso di laurea in Computer Engineering for Intelligent Systems è fornire agli studenti conoscenze e abilità tipiche dell’ingegneria dell’informazione per permettere loro di identificare, formulare, analizzare e risolvere problemi legati alla progettazione, all'integrazione e alla gestione di sistemi complessi, in particolare quelli legati alla manifattura ed alla cura della persona.
Il corso si propone di formare laureati che abbinino competenze avanzate in una serie di tecnologie abilitanti dell’ingegneria informatica, come robotica industriale, sistemi ciberfisici, interazione uomo-macchina, visual computing, big data e digital design, con competenze legate al dominio dell'applicazione, per ottimizzare l'uso della tecnologia dell'informazione nell'ambiente industriale per automatizzare i processi di produzione o per sviluppare nuove applicazioni per la cura delle persone e lavorare alla transizione digitale in medicina.
Percorso formativo
Il percorso formativo comprenderà una parte di formazione di base, che approfondisce e amplia le competenze acquisite alla triennale in ambito informatico ed ingegneristico, una parte di base sul contesto applicativo scelto, ed una serie di approfondimenti specialistici.
Il primo anno prevede corsi caratterizzanti obbligatori su discipline fondamentali utili a tutti i percorsi e corsi caratterizzanti a scelta focalizzati su tecnologie abilitanti sia per Industria 4.0/5.0, sia per la transizione digitale in medicina. Queste discipline sono legate ai sistemi robotici, ai sistemi embedded e IoT e alle tecniche di visual computing e intelligenza artificiale.
A seconda del percorso scelto, le attività del primo anno prevedono inoltre attività affini di ambito ingegneristico industriale e gestionale, per fornire conoscenze relative alla modellazione, progettazione. gestione e monitoraggio di impianti produttivi, oppure nell’ambito dell’ingegneria biomedica per fornire competenze specifiche sui dati biomedicali e sui protocolli per la loro gestione e processamento.
Nel corso del secondo anno gli studenti potranno scegliere una serie di attività specialistiche affini legate al tipo di percorso intrapreso, per ottenere le competenze matematico/informatiche utili per completare la formazione relativa al proprio profilo professionale, cioè ingegnere specializzato in sistemi informatici industriali o ingegnere specializzato in sistemi per la cura della persona.
Esempi di contenuti specifici che saranno contenuti nei corsi sono:
Modellazione, specifica e verifica dei sistemi IoT industriali e medicali/diagnostici
Modellazione, specifica e verifica di sistemi robotici industriali e medicali/diagnostici.
Specifica e analisi dei componenti ciberfisici
Progettazione di architetture di controllo
Analisi di risorse di calcolo
Tecniche per la sicurezza e per la certificazione
Modellazione e processi di digital manufacturing
Sensori, e visione computazionale
Diagnostica avanzata da sensori medici
Intelligenza artificiale e reti neurali
Tecniche avanzate di interazione uomo-macchina e uomo-robot
Telemedicina
Realtà virtuale ed aumentata ed applicazioni mediche e industriali

Su questi ambiti tecnologici il Dipartimento di Ingegneria per la Medicina di Innovazione può contare su un corpo docente con conoscenze e competenze allo stato dell'arte e la natura multidisciplinare del Dipartimento garantisce la possibilità di applicare tali competenze anche in ambito medico ed ospedaliero.
Gli studenti potranno anche sfruttare la presenza di laboratori specifici e tirocini interni e aziendali.
Per la formazione avanzata sui temi industriali ci si potrà avvalere del laboratorio ICE (Industrial Computer Engineering lab). Esso è dotato di spazi e di una linea di produzione didattica equipaggiata con attrezzature allo stato dell'arte (robot, stampanti 3D, sistemi di controllo, magazzino, ecc.) su cui gli studenti svolgeranno attività laboratoriali.
Il percorso risultante consentirà allo studente di acquisire competenze sufficienti relative alle cinque aree di apprendimento su cui si definiscono gli obiettivi formativi del corso: area matematico-modellistica, area ingegneristica, area algoritmica, area economico-gestionale, area biomedica.

Quality Assurance

The quality of a degree programme is the extent to which it achieves its educational objectives and meets the quality requirements of the educational activities offered, which are determined in line with the needs and expectations of students and representatives of the world of work.

This programme has adopted a teaching Quality Assurance system in line with the University’s quality assurance guidelines and based on the e ANVUR national quality assurance guidelines, by carrying out the following activities:
  • periodic consultations with representatives of the world of work to assess the adequacy of the cultural and professional profiles offered in their courses;
  • design of educational contents and planning of resources;
  • organisation of educational activities and teaching services;
  • monitoring the effectiveness of teaching and planning measures to improve teaching and services;
  • provision of complete and up-to-date information on its website, relating to the programme (professional roles, expected learning outcomes, learning activities).
The above activities are scheduled and interrelated, based on the PDCA principles (Plan, Do, Check, Act).
schema_qualita

In a Quality Assurance system, students play a fundamental role: each student can play their part by participating in the Quality Assurance groups of their degree programme and in the Faculty-Student Joint Committees or, more simply, by taking part in the Student Survey on teaching, or questionnaires. It’s in this context that specific workshops for student representatives (‘Laboratori di rappresentanza attiva’) are periodically made available to students by the University and the University’s Quality Assurance Board. To find out more, please see the relevant section.

Other useful things

Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.
Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
