The degree course in Automation and Systems Engineering aims at training professionals able to operate in the fields of design, implementation, and management of control systems and, more in general, in the area information engineering in the most diverse production and service contexts.

This degree has a distinctly multidisciplinary character that clearly emerges in its two curricula.

1. The first, Automation and Control Systems, taught in Italian, focuses on the themes of automation and control systems, providing tools suitable for dealing with a wide spectrum of applications in the fields of automation, robotics, industry 4.0, and machine learning.
2. The second, Information Engineering, taught in English, presents a more transversal offer in the disciplines of the Information Engineering sector, and aims at preparing professionals capable of operating in an international landscape.

In both curricula, extensive and in-depth methodological knowledge is acquired both in basic subjects and in those typical of the ICT area, related to programming, processing and transmission of signals, development of electronic components and modeling and control of systems. Design skills will also be developed in the most innovative technological fields, which include modern techniques of automation, data analysis and machine learning, robotics and computational vision. The course includes a rich offer of laboratory or application courses to put into practice the theoretical notions acquired, and to face the challenges of modern professions in the sector. The course of study also prepares for a subsequent master’s degree in the ICT sector.

The typical professional fields for graduates in this course are those of innovation and development of production, design, planning and programming, management of control and signal processing systems, both as freelance professionals and in manufacturing or service companies, as well as in public administrations. Graduates will be able to find employment in companies operating in the fields of automation, information technology, electronics, bioengineering, telecommunications, both in Italy and abroad.
