Mondovì

Known as the City of Studies, Mondovì has always boasted a great tradition in the field of education, as evidenced by the many secondary schools, several of which have been operating since the second half of the nineteenth century. These institutes have represented a point of reference not only for southern Piedmont, but also for Liguria.

In the 1990s, this vocation led the city to become the location for degree courses in Engineering and Architecture of PoliTO, which achieved excellent results thanks to favourable environmental conditions and a more closely supported teaching approach, made possible by a balanced interaction between students and faculty.

«Thanks to the significant efforts of foundations, the municipal administration and PoliTO itself, we are now able to offer once again the local area a facility capable of acting both as a driver for development and a platform for training. It gives me great pleasure to welcome once again all the young women and men who have chosen to enrol at this campus for the challenging first year of their engineering courses. We will do our utmost to offer you the best possible support to ensure that you can begin your university studies with satisfaction and success. The technical and administrative staff of the campus, who have always been generously committed to ensuring the efficiency and accessibility of all IT, administrative and student support services, will be able to assist and support you, allowing you to focus fully and consistently on your studies. At the Mondovì campus, you will also find skilled and motivated professors who are able to combine their long-term experience gained at PoliTO with enthusiasm for the launch of a new training project.

Alongside traditional educational programmes, the campus is also preparing to host newly designed professional degree courses, which, unlike traditional courses, will offer students learning processes based on on-the-job training and training workshops aimed at developing a new generation of technologists, professionals already present in the most industrialised countries in Europe, but still lacking in Italy.

Parallel to its educational programmes, the renewed Mondovì campus of PoliTO is undergoing a substantial renovation to also engage with the local industry through technology transfer laboratories, designed to become a meeting point between innovation and industry. Topics related to agriculture and Industry 4.0, innovative processes for the agri-food and process industries, electronics and computing for precision agriculture, and microsystems will become an integral part of the relationship we aim to build with the local area in a constructive and collaborative manner, with enthusiasm and commitment.

All of this is what we are creating, and we look forward to sharing it from the 2019/20 academic year onwards with students, businesses, and local stakeholders, whom we eagerly welcome to our facilities."

Paolo Fino, Professor at the Department of Applied Science and Technology (DISAT) and Rector’s Representative for Relations with the Mondovì Satellite Campus

Mondovì is a town of approximately 22,000 inhabitants, located on Monte Regale, from which it originally took its name and from which the name of its residents is derived. Founded as a “hill town” in the late 12th century, for five centuries it maintained closer ties with its mountainous hinterland than with the political realities of the plain.

From 1560 to 1566, it was the seat of a university with the right to confer degrees in rhetoric, logic, geometry, arithmetic, music, astronomy, philosophy, medicine, civil and canon law, and theology. After Turin returned to the control of the House of Savoy and the Studium Generale was reinstated, Mondovì remained the seat of courses in law, medicine, and theology until 1719. Meanwhile, one of the first Episcopal Seminaries for the Higher Education of the clergy (1596) and the first College for the education of nobles run by the Jesuits (1597) opened in the city.

In the second half of the 1980s, Mondovì once again became a university point of reference, this time embracing the fields of technological studies.

The computer laboratory was established in 2003 thanks to the generous contribution of the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Cuneo. Located in the area adjacent to the cloister, it features 55 workstations, audio and video distribution, multi-conferencing, video monitoring, and the capability for instructors to teach simultaneously in multiple rooms.

The LAIB is a fully equipped computer classroom with networked PCs, numerous basic and specialized software applications, printers, plotters, and audiovisual systems. It is used for teaching activities, exercises, exams, and thesis work in institutional courses.
The laboratory is also available to students for independent use during remaining available hours and in designated areas.
Of particular note are the printing services, which allow students to print and plot educational materials free of charge, in accordance with the usage regulations.
LAIB is staffed with personnel providing supervision and basic IT support.

The laboratory provides innovation and technology transfer services to companies in the Cuneo area, drawing on the experience that PoliTO has developed in supporting the industrial sector in the Piedmont region, particularly in the automotive, aerospace and automation fields.
Specifically, services are offered in the areas of materials development and characterisation, component design and manufacturing, process optimisation, and post-processing related to technologies for Industry 4.0 and Agriculture 4.0.

Thanks to the support of PoliTO staff involved in the Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Industry 4.0, local companies in the Cuneo area are able to learn about, explore and apply developments and applications of additive manufacturing technologies to their own production environments. These include the manufacture of metal components and prototyping through the production of 3D plastic models.

The laboratory enables the development of innovative solutions tailored to meet companies’ needs, adopting an advanced approach aligned with the Industry 4.0 paradigm. This approach aims to improve component performance and effectiveness, optimise efficiency, lead times and energy consumption in production processes, and adhere to the principles of the circular economy, including applications related to innovative agriculture.

Calibration Centre

The Mondovì campus hosts a satellite operational unit of PoliTO Calibration Centre, providing calibration services to companies in the following areas:

  • temperature and humidity;
  • force and strain;
  • pressure;
  • electrical quantities, time and frequency.

The laboratories of the PPA Area Service – SALP provide calibration services for measuring instruments related to temperature, force, strain and pressure. For these quantities, the laboratories issue ACCREDIA Calibration Certificates, which are recognised at both national and international level for their compliance with quality standards and metrological traceability requirements.

For quantities currently undergoing accreditation, or for measurement ranges not yet recognised by ACCREDIA, the SALP laboratories issue Calibration Reports, while in all cases ensuring metrological traceability to the primary standards of the physical quantities defined by the International System of Units (SI).
