The Faculty offers 3 three-year programs - First cycle degrees (Bachelor level) in three different profiles: Information Technology Engineering, Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering.

 

The degree course in Information Technology aims to provide competence in basic subjects, such as mathematics and physics, as well as in further specific studies needed in the field of Information Technology, such as Electronics, Automation and Telecommunications. 

 

The academic objectives of the degree course in Civil Engineering are directed towards the solving of typical problems of the field, such as design, calculation, realization, control, use, maintenance, renewal, restructuring and abandonment of civil works and infrastructures.

 

The degree course in Industrial Engineering on the Lecce campus has concentrated on providing the students with a solid scientific and engineering background.

An industrial engineer must have a sound foundation, from both a theoretical and a practical point of view without neglecting a probabilistic approach in respect to a systemic one, in mathematics, physics, chemistry, the formulation of general mathematics of physical phenomena, graphical drawing of physical systems, technical-scientific subjects relative to statistics, the structure and restistance of materials, movement, and the transformation and transmission of energy.

 

The Faculty offers 7 two-year specialization programs- Second cycle degrees (Master Level): Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Management Engineering (taught in English), Materials Engineering (taught in English), Computer Engineering (taught in English), Communication Engineering (taught in English), Aerospace Engineering (taught in English - Brindisi Campus).

The degree course in Civil Engineering has the following objectives:

-to guarantee specific preparation through a series of courses focusing on the formation of engineers with adequate competence in advanced and innovative planning of:

foundation structures, supporting structures for civil constructions also of notable complexity and in seismic areas; .

intervention in adjustment, consolidation, and reinforcement of supporting structures of existing civil constructions;

transport systems and infrastructures, hydraulic structures for defence or the exploitation of the water supply;

-to render the students capable of critically using instruments for automatic calculation and assisted planning of civil structures and infrastructures.

-to give the students the capacity to identify and carry out interdisciplinary approaches in problem solving of the questions listed above.

The degree course in Mechanical Engineering aims to create a professional figure with a deep understanding of science in general and the specific sciences needed by a mechanical engineer to be able to interpret, describe and resolve complex problems in an autonomous and innovative way, including those problems which require an interdisciplinary approach. A mechanical engineer will therefore be able to work at the highest levels in private or public enterprises, also in the European sphere, combining technical engineering understanding and capacity with organizational and coordination capabilities. The mechanical engineer will be equipped with the versatile professionalism needed to be able to deal with diverse problems, to contribute to the realization of group projects and to communicate with technicians and experts in the most diversified sectors.

The degree course in Engineering Management aims to prepare engineers capable of combining and integrating management of the technology of production and processing with the management of structures and organizational processes in the context of international competition.

 

The degree course in Materials Engineering has as its specific objective the formation of a specialist in the field of industrial materials technology (polymers, metals, ceramics, composits and biomaterial), as well as materials technology for electronics, of both inorganic and organic nature.

The degree course in Information Technology aims to explore the diverse applicatons for computer engineering. Thourough analysis is done of the research problems involved in the following sectors: Mainframe, software applications and information systems, high performance calculation, automation.

 

The degree course in Telecommunications Engineering deals with qualifying technologies and the applications of signal treatment as well as the aspects of the electronic circuit and devices of particular interest to the sector of telecommunications.

 

AEROSPACE ENGINEERING (TAUGHT IN ENGLISH - BRINDISI CAMPUS)
The Course objectives deal with aeronautical and aerospace disciplines applied to both commercial and military airctaft. An integrated vision of the aerospace product as a whole is strongly encouraged and pursued throughout the Course, in order to make the aerospace engineer a professional figure, capable of focusing diverse expertise towards a common objective while collaborating with personnel with different technical background and expertise.
