The Master’s degree in Computer Engineering for Intelligent Systems course offers advanced training in Computer Engineering, particularly suitable for carrying out design, management, and data processing activities in the context of the Industry 4.0/5.0 and Healthcare 4.0/5.0 paradigms. The master's graduate will have the theoretical and practical tools to fully understand the new information and communication technologies needed to design intelligent, robotic, and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) systems, personal care, and telemedicine applications. The graduate will be able to integrate industrial systems (robotic manipulators, mobile robots, distributed sensor systems) and healthcare systems (wearable sensors, imaging machines, digital archives), and analyze the data, even massive, generated by them for specific applications. These skills will be achieved through the study of the state of the art in the main methodologies of modeling, design, analysis and evaluation of algorithms and hardware and software systems. A particular emphasis will be placed on topics related to robotics, computer vision, artificial intelligence (machine learning and deep learning), IIoT systems, digital twins of industrial plants, hospitals, and patients. In support of teaching, students can carry out internships and theses in groups active in international research projects or in collaboration with local companies. They can also learn specific entrepreneurial problems from the experience of numerous corporate spin-offs within the Computer Science Park hosted in the spaces of the computer science department to which the course belongs. The student will also be able to test the theoretical knowledge acquired using the equipment of the department's ICE laboratory and other advanced laboratories. Study experiences and internships abroad are possible and encouraged thanks to international mobility programs.
WORK AREAS
The course aims to train professionals capable of working in IT companies, manufacturing industries that require skills in hardware and software design, plant modeling, automation, robotics, and industrial data analysis. In these areas, the graduate in Computer Engineering for Intelligent Systems is called to cover managerial roles and coordination of work groups, thus distinguishing himself from the three-year graduate, whose main vocation is, instead, linked to more executive aspects. Graduates of the master's degree can also work as freelancers and, after passing the state exam, be included in the register of computer engineers. The master's degree in Computer Engineering for Intelligent Systems will train professionals who can cover the following roles: designers and integrators of computer systems and digital devices for industry or analysts of data produced by such systems; consultants for the optimization of production processes, the use of artificial intelligence technologies in the production chain; designers and integrators of computer systems for diagnostics, medical care, rehabilitation; employees and consultants of medical and diagnostic centers that require analysts of data produced by such systems.

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.
- 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).
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.

The Italian University system
First-cycle degrees: Bachelor’s degree programme
First-cycle degrees are aimed at enabling students to achieve a command of general scientific methods and content, and to acquire specific professional knowledge.Admission requirements: secondary school diploma after completing 13 years of study in total and passing the relevant State examination, or equivalent foreign qualification; admission may be subject to further assessment.
Duration: three years.
Graduation: in order to obtain the degree, it is necessary to gain at least 180 CFU; doing an internship and preparing a dissertation/thesis may also be required. Upon completion of a Bachelor’s degree, graduates may continue their studies by enrolling in a Master’s degree or other second-cycle degree programmes and courses.

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.
