Presentation
The Bachelor’s Degree Program in Computer and Control Engineering aims to train graduates with specific skills in either Computer Engineering or Control Engineering. In the first case, these skills concern the analysis, design, and management of hardware/software computer systems and various types of IT applications (for example, corporate information systems, Internet- and World Wide Web–based systems and applications, data analysis systems, and network infrastructures) in different service and production sectors. In the second case, the acquired skills relate to the analysis and design of systems that operate autonomously, such as robotic systems, air and space navigation systems, automated systems for the production and management of goods, services, and environmental resources, and systems for analysis and control in biomedical applications.
In addition to these specific skills, graduates in Computer and Control Engineering have a solid background in the basic sciences (mathematics, physics) as well as in engineering sciences, enabling them to interact with specialists from all engineering sectors and from the economic-management area, particularly with other professionals in the information technology field.
The degree program has a duration of three years. The educational path in Computer and Control Engineering is divided into two curricula: the Computer Engineering curriculum and the Control Engineering curriculum. Both curricula share the goal of training engineering graduates with specific skills in both Computer Engineering and Control Engineering. The Computer Engineering curriculum focuses on more specialized topics within the field of Computer Engineering, while the Control Engineering curriculum places greater emphasis on specialized topics in Control Engineering.
For both curricula, the educational path includes an initial section dedicated to basic subjects (first and second year), a second section dedicated to core subjects (second and third year), and a final section with differentiated content related to the two disciplinary areas of Computer Engineering and Control Engineering (third year).
Specifically, the curriculum structure includes:
compulsory courses common to both curricula during the first and second years and part of the third year;
1) 24 credits specific to each curriculum (Computer or Control) in the third year, including 6 credits chosen from a group of optional courses;
2) 12 credits of free-choice courses selected by the student;
3) 6 credits of project-based courses or internship/training activities;
4) 3 credits in English language;
5) 3 credits for the final exam.
