Why study industrial engineering?

Management engineers are among the most sought-after professionals in today’s labour market.

They are key to the growth and development of companies and public and private organisations thanks to their ability to integrate the technological skills typical of the engineer with managerial skills.

The School of Management Engineering at LIUC – Cattaneo University therefore aims to train students who are capable of adapting to a range of contexts and managing complex systems, by attaining a solid knowledge base in engineering and key principles of  management, together with interdisciplinary skills, such as the ability to work in a team, critical thinking, attention to environmental and social sustainability issues and multi-disciplinarity.

Professional opportunities are mainly in these areas:

  • management of production, logistics and distribution systems;
  • planning and control of company activities;
  • strategic and organisational analysis and management control.

In addition, with specific reference to the manufacturing-oriented course, management engineers work in the areas of:

  • industrial quality control;
  • management of production systems;
  • lean production management;

and, for the services-oriented course, in the areas of:

  • digital process management;
  • the development of IoT systems.

In addition, a LIUC graduate in Management Engineering will have the knowledge and skills required for a continuation of studies with a Master’s Degree in Management Engineering.

Why choose LIUC?

The LIUC teaching model is characterised first and foremost by direct experience, with:

LIUC offers an international experience to all students who request it, through the semester or year abroad programmes, summer and winter schools, internships abroad, double degrees, attending the entire third year at LIUC taught in English, studying with international students.

LIUC offers students the opportunity to invest in the development of personal and professional skills, such as the ability to learn and work in a team, in sustainability issues and in multi-disciplinarity, thanks to courses offered in the humanities and social sciences.

A further distinguishing feature is the strong interaction between students and lecturers, guaranteed by the limited number of 120 students, the possibility of small group work and tutoring involving individual or group meetings to clarify key concepts and refine study methods.

Pathways

To obtain a Bachelor’s Degree in Management Engineering, you have to choose between two pathways: an English-language pathway and an Italian-language pathway.

Management Engineering – English-language pathway

This is the first truly international Bachelor’s Degree in Management Engineering in the Italian university world.

It is an elite course of study that gives access both to the world of work and to outstanding master’s degree programmes in Italy and abroad.

It represents a truly international experience thanks to:

  • lecturers from prestigious European universities and research centres (for example, in the first year, the area of physics and chemistry is covered by lecturers from the Delft Technology University (Netherlands) and the area of computer science is entrusted to researchers from the CSC in Espoo (Finland))
  • one residential week abroad per semester (with accommodation paid for by LIUC) co-organised with universities and research centres with which LIUC collaborates and with LIUC Alumni Chapters (for example, the Fraunhofer Institute in Hamburg (Germany), Cesi Ecole d’Ingenieurs in Paris (France) and the Benelux Alumni Chapter in Brussels (Belgium))
  • Internships abroad from the third year onwards

In the third year of the English-language pathway, the specialisation in Industrial Operational Excellence will be available:

 

The course is aimed at students who want to develop skills that are increasingly valued by companies operating in various industrial sectors, which are a fundamental prerequisite for the implementation of the Industry 4.0 paradigm and for a sustainable and circular transition. Consistent with the typical applications of Management Engineering, relating to production and logistics processes in the manufacturing sector, the course contributes to the development of:

  • skills to manage production processes that are first-class from the point of view of efficiency and effective performance, i.e. designed with Lean and Six Sigma in mind,
  • knowledge of the main production technologies used in the sector

In order to undertake the English-language pathway, the student must have taken the TOEFL IBT examination with a score of 80/120 (or equivalent examinations) or have completed an entire school year in English.

Management Engineering – Italian-language pathway

From the third year you can choose between two specialisations:

The course is aimed at students who want to develop skills that are increasingly valued by companies operating in various industrial sectors, which are a fundamental prerequisite for the implementation of the Industry 4.0 paradigm and for a sustainable and circular transition. Consistent with the typical applications of Management Engineering, relating to production and logistics processes in the manufacturing sector, the course contributes to the development of:

  • skills to manage production processes that are first-class from the point of view of efficiency and effective performance, i.e. designed with Lean and Six Sigma in mind,
  • knowledge of the main production technologies used in the sector

The course is aimed at students who want to develop digital management skills that cut across industry sectors and functional areas of organisations. The course contributes to the development of:

  • knowledge of the characteristics and dynamics of innovation in the service sector
  • skills for the implementation and design of services to complement physical products in companies in the sector

In order to enrol in the three-year degree course in Management Engineering , all students must first pass the TOLC-I test provided by CISIA.
