General Information
Programme Profile
The laurea degree in Management Engineering gives the students an interdisciplinary mentality, flexible and systemic, resulting from a stronger integration of a technology-based culture - typical of the school of engineering - with economic, organizational and managerial skills. It prepares engineers aimed at performing functions of planning, management and control of systems and processes. The acquired skills allow the engineer to act on the organizational aspects and management of a company with the aim of increasing the competitiveness and contribute to their growth.
Key Learning Outcomes
Graduates of the Programme will be able to demonstrate:
- basic knowledge of the mathematical and physical methodologies to model and analyse systems or processes
- basic knowledge of computing tools and computing languages in order to organize data
- knowledge of statistical and operational research methods, in order to analyze data and make decisions
- competences in typical areas of industrial engineering such as: mechanics, technical drawings, control systems, energy, electrical components, manufacturing processes
- deep knowledge in quality assurance issues
- ability in economics and business administration
- ability in human resources management and financial accounting
Occupational Profile/s of Graduates
The main career opportunities provided by the undergraduate program in management engineering are mainly located in service companies and in large, small and medium-sized enterprises.
In short, the main employment opportunities, are:
- technician of logistics processes
- technician of production planning
- technician of material management and flow
- technician of quality service assurance
- technician dedicated to the organization of production processes.
Access to further study
The Laurea Degree in MANAGEMENT ENGINEERING normally gives direct access to the corresponding Second Cycle degree programme. It also gives access to some other Second Cycle degree programmes, in which case extra work may be necessary for admission.
Assessment methods, examination regulations, and grading
Assessment is normally by means of an oral or written examination; in some cases there are intermediate exams during the course; other elements (participation in discussion, written or oral reports, commentary of texts etc. ) are foreseen in specific course units and are described in the Course Unit Profiles.
The grading system for the course units consists of 30 possible points, plus 'lode' (cum laude) in case of excellence. Marks are given by the lecturer based on the performance as ascertained in a public examination by a board of at least two teachers. The main exam sessions are held in June/July; September; and January; students may resit exams**.
Actual grading curves differ in different degree programmes. The University of Pisa provides an ECTS Grading Table, which shows the actual distribution, of the examination and final grades among students for each degree programme, in order to facilitate the comparison with other grading systems. ---> Link to ECTS Grading Table
An overall mark is given on the occasion of the 'Final Exam', when a written research text is presented and discussed. The final overall mark is calculated based on the results of the marks obtained in the single course units and the final exam, and is based on 110 possible points, with the possible further mention of honours ("lode" or cum laude).
**The exam sessions are organised into sessions (the dates vary according to the Department and are published in the Department's academic calendar). In each session there are a certain number of 'appelli' [calls], or dates on which the examination for each course unit may be taken. The 'appelli' are fixed by the teacher. The students choose which of the appelli they wish to respond to. In most cases, it is obligatory to sign up before the specified date.
Requirements (regulations) to obtain the qualification
The candidates have to complete 180 credits, according to the programme of the course. These include the final exam (3 credits) which assesses the ability of the the candidate to develop, in complete autonomy, a specific topic selected from the research a
