Mechanical Engineering Politecnico di Milano

Overview

The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano allows mechanical engineering graduates to adapt to the most diverse professional needs quickly.

The knowledge imparted in the various courses is proposed in a training context which, in addition to their acquisition, aims to develop an aptitude for tackling new and complex problems in a scientifically rigorous way, critical evaluation of issues and autonomy judgment as well as communication skills necessary to effectively communicate the results achieved nationally and internationally.

Careers

Mechanical engineering is one of the oldest and broadest engineering disciplines, synergistically combining the principles of physics and mathematics (mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, etc.) with materials science, to design, analyse, produce and maintain systems capable of generating force and movement, i.e. transport systems (road and rail vehicles, ships, aircraft, …), industrial equipment and machinery and production plants.

Mechanical engineering is also one of the engineering disciplines that has evolved the most by integrating IT, control, chemical and biological skills to lead to innovations in multidisciplinary and frontier areas such as composite materials and new alloys with ever more advanced performance, mechatronics and robotics, micro and nanotechnologies, propulsion and energy production systems, defence systems and armaments, bio-inspired systems as well as medical and sports devices. Innovations in these areas are vital in reducing energy consumption and environmental impact and building a more responsible and sustainable society.
