The course objective is to train a junior management engineer, a flexible professional who works on approaches for managing and organizing complex systems, as well as managing and leading logistics and production systems.
Besides basic disciplines – common to all engineering study courses – the future management engineer develops specific multidisciplinary skills aimed at addressing the main issues regarding planning and control of production activities of goods and services, together with their organizational implications.
The study path offers a solid background in maths and statistics, aimed at developing useful methods to solve the main issues related to planning and control of production activities of goods and services, and to their organizational implications. A further set of courses is organized into two cultural paths:
- knowledge of production processes and relationships with suppliers and customers;
- the analysis of business information flows and the evaluation and management of organizational and technological innovation projects through Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
You will also choose between two fields of study:
- management of ICT and information systems, to support the main business activities (administration and accounting, sales, planning and control of production and logistics flows);
- management of logistic flows, as well as the design of industrial plants and the development of knowledge about the main production technologies.
At the end of the study programme you will take a final exam, that might be also in English, focused on a specific problem, either faced during your company internship or related to the courses you attended.
The study course will be Italian-taught; the first year is also English-taught.
You will attend lectures integrated with practical exercise sessions and/or lab activities. You will also take part in company visits and in project works focused on specific practical business cases.
Starting from year 2, you will have the chance to choose some elective courses, to perform a company internship, to attend other educational activities provided both inside and outside Politecnico, or to combine several elective courses/training/internship activities.
