The master’s degree in Digital Automation Engineering is taught entirely in English. It is structured with a common path for the first year, that is then split into three profiles of competence in the second year. The common path provides the ground training on the fundamental aspects of digital automation such as statistics and optimization, artificial intelligence, and data science, as well as the implementation and control aspects of robotics. The three profiles of competence decline digital automation engineering in specific contexts, such as digital infrastructure management, digital design techniques, and production systems digitization. Lectures include theoretical classes as well as practical classes in the laboratories of the University and of the private companies in order to develop high-level professional competencies with a “learning by doing” approach.
