Description and educational objectives

The PhD Program addresses topics related to Industrial Engineering, with particular focus on aspects of Mechanical Engineering and Management Engineering. The program aims to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the topics covered, with the goal of achieving a cultural background suitable for integration into a productive industrial unit or a public or private research and development organization. The program's objective is to deepen numerical, analytical, and experimental techniques, enabling PhD graduates to tackle any technical-scientific problem in Industrial Engineering while developing managerial and organizational skills that ensure autonomy in work and readiness to collaborate with other researchers, professionals, institutions, or companies. The foundational training also includes advanced IT skills and a thorough knowledge of technical-scientific English, essential for publishing articles in journals and delivering oral presentations at conferences. The PhD Program in Industrial Engineering is strongly oriented toward applied research and synergy with the industrial sector, as evidenced by scholarships co-financed by private companies and national and international research projects. The department responsible for the PhD Program in Industrial Engineering provides young researchers with laboratories and essential equipment to carry out research activities in the various fields covered by the program. Stays at research institutions, particularly abroad, as well as the publication of scientific articles, are highly encouraged. The research program is based on the development of an original research project relevant to advancing knowledge in the field of Industrial Engineering. The educational program, aimed at deepening the various disciplines involved in the research project, is designed to provide PhD candidates with a solid cultural foundation, preparing them to take on leading roles in a field with significant industrial impact.
