Program of study

Aim: To prepare qualified researchers in the field of Engineering, to be enrolled in academic and private institutes, public administration, etc.

Project: Each PhD student will follow general and common courses, given in terms of lectures and seminars, as well as specific lectures more related to the chosen research theme. Research themes are selected within  one of the three curricula as outlined below:

• Information Engineering: industrial automation, control automation, robotics, fuzzy logic; physics, reliability and modelling of electronic devices, microwaves; hardware digital design, CAD digital circuit design,; operating systems, artificial intelligence, computer networks: wave propagation, optical propagation, optical fibres, wireless networks, telecommunication networks, TCPIP protocol, electromagnetic compatibility;

• Civil Engineering: Civil Engineering, Structural Mechanics, Project of Structures, Hydraulic and Environmental Engineering, Surveying Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Project of Buildings,  Acoustic of Materials and Buildings, Acoustic of Theatres;

• Industrial Engineering: machine theory, mechanism synthesis and vibration analysis for design applications; metallic, non metallic  and composites materials (micro-structural and mechanical properties, thermal treatments and applications); manufacturing process planning and analysis; conventional and Computer Aided Structural Analysis of mechanical parts and components; energy systems analysis to evaluate the performance, the pollutant emission and heath state; thermodynamics and heat and mass transfer.
