Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Management Engineering requires possession of a high school diploma or other qualification obtained abroad, recognized as suitable according to current regulations. A good knowledge of spoken and written Italian, good logical-deductive reasoning skills, and the knowledge and ability to use the main results of elementary mathematics and the fundamentals of experimental sciences are required for admission to the Degree Course. The student's incoming knowledge is assessed through a test or the TOLC-I, which is a valuable assessment tool aimed at making students aware of their preparation. In case of non-positive results, Additional Formative Obligations (OFAs) are assigned, which must be filled within the first year of the course by passing appropriate tests according to a schedule made available to students on the Course of Studies website. To support students who have been assigned OFAs, the CdS organizes introductory (or zeroing) courses scheduled before the start of classes. The fulfillment of any OFAs is preparatory to taking all first-year exams whose SSD (Scientific Disciplinary Sector) of reference is Mathematics (MAT/xx).

A secondary school diploma is required for admission to the Degree Programme in Management Engineering
higher education or another qualification obtained abroad, recognised as suitable on the basis of current legislation. For access to the Course of Studies, there is no programmed number of students, but, in order to ensure successful attendance of studies, matriculating students are required to have a good knowledge of spoken and written Italian, good logical-deductive reasoning skills and the knowledge and ability to use the main results of elementary mathematics and the fundamentals of experimental sciences. In order to verify such knowledge and skills specific to the engineering disciplines, students are required to take a TOLC-I test, a useful tool for self-assessment, to verify the level of their initial preparation in relation to the skills needed to tackle the course of study and thus make a more informed final decision on the choice of enrolling in the course.
Becoming aware of any subjects that need to be deepened or consolidated enables students to take part in the remedial courses offered by the course before classes begin. Students who do not pass the test/TOLC-I are assigned Additional Formative Obligations (OFAs) that must be made up within the first year of the course, otherwise they cannot enrol in the second year. The fulfilment of any OFAs is also a prerequisite for taking the first-year examinations whose SSD (Scientific Disciplinary Sector) of reference is Mathematics (MAT/xx).

INTRODUCTION
In outlining the educational objectives of the Degree Programme in Management Engineering, reference is made to the skills of an engineer of change, capable of integrating technology and organisation to achieve high levels of competitiveness, flexibility and innovation. The recent and profound transformations of the economic world and the phenomena of the progressive 'fragmentation' of the enterprise impose, in fact, new methods of integration and coordination that further strengthen the traditional role of the management engineer, here conceived to design and manage systems in contexts made complex and heterogeneous by the simultaneous presence of social, economic and technological variables. Technology, in particular, is destined to play a central role in fostering the opportunity to experiment with new modes of integration, guaranteeing satisfactory levels of flexibility. The curriculum of the management engineer responds, therefore, to the emerging needs of businesses and of the institutional context in which he/she is called upon to operate, keeping in line with the most recent developments in research, operating practices and curricula of foreign academic institutions. To achieve the objectives outlined above, the Degree Programme in Management Engineering intends to provide its graduates with a solid preparation in the following areas of learning:
- Basic Sciences, comprising the main engineering knowledge of mathematics of physics, and chemistry.
- Basics of Information Engineering, comprising some preparatory and basic engineering knowledge of information engineering, which is considered fundamental for the management engineer.
- Management Engineering and Economics, comprising the characterising knowledge of the management engineer (fundamentals of business economics, operations research, manufacturing studies, industrial plants, systems and organisational behaviour, logistics and production management).
- Industrial engineering, relating to the design, control and management of systems and technologies
industry, products, energy management with a view to sustainability.
- Information Management Engineering, relating to the design of information processing and transfer systems in organisational business contexts (web technologies and applications, decision support models, data management in highly digitised and automated contexts in creative fields such as the fashion industry).

STUDY PATH STRUCTURE
The Bachelor's degree is based on a solid common education in the area of basic sciences, including computer science disciplines. This is a prerequisite for providing the necessary methodological and scientific knowledge in the preparation of a management engineer. The common path also includes a group of subjects characterising the learning area of management engineering and economics, such as modelling and design of flexible production systems; production technologies; design of organisational processes; resource and production planning; industrial plant design; logistics and distribution as well as competences in the field of economic control and
management and organisational behaviour. To complete the common body of teachings, the training course provides for the maturation of specific technical skills in the area of industry and information that are capable of declining the skills of the management engineer in four main orientations. In this perspective it is possible to deepen the themes of production of goods and services, efficient energy management, the ICT area of data management and finally the area of information technology management related to specific contexts of high automation and digital content.

VARIATIONS IN STUDY PATHS
Once the students have consolidated their basic and characterising skills, they will then be able to delve into specific areas of strong interest to the industrial, manufacturing, services and information management sectors, which will enable the management engineer to easily find employment depending on their skills and ability to apply them. The main orientations concern the production of goods and services with a focus on the efficient design and management of processes for the manufacture of products or the provision of services; the energy sector with a focus on the efficient management of energy in manufacturing processes with a view to sustainability; the field of digital and creative industries, which enables the acquisition of skills in the design and management of material and information flows in creative production sectors such as, for example, fashion and fashion with a high use of digital solutions; and finally, a field more specifically related to data management, which specialises in the design and efficient management of data and innovative communication technology solutions for their processing. The training areas proposed in the Degree Programme, which are the result of a constant comparison with reference benchmarks, respond to market demands for highly trained professionals capable of efficiently analysing, managing and monitoring the performance of companies operating in the industrial and manufacturing sector and engineers capable of managing the dissemination and use of information, through skills related to telecommunication technologies, computer networks and distributed information systems.

The Degree Programme in Management Engineering awards the final qualification to students who: a) are able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions to specialist and non-specialist interlocutors; b) are able to form working groups for the development of projects or experimental activities with set time schedules. c) are able to communicate effectively, in written and oral form, in English, as well as in Italian. Subjects involving oral tests of knowledge, as well as those courses that require students to submit individual papers (term papers), contribute to the achievement of outcome a). The achievement of outcome b) is facilitated by those subjects that provide for the development of group projects, as well as the training activities envisaged for the preparation of the final examination. Training activities relating to the study of foreign languages, the possibility offered by courses that provide for the presentation of project activities in English and the possibility of writing the dissertation in English all contribute to the achievement of result c).

The Degree Programme in Management Engineering awards the final qualification to students who have: a) achieved a high level of individual competences in the specific field (mathematical, physical, basic sciences, design and management of industrial processes and systems, logistics, service provision, design and management of data flows and of software and the architectures supporting them, of organisations and complex systems) and the ability to apply them in operational contexts b) are able to collect and interpret data in complete autonomy and derive judgements and strategies useful for the improvement of the context in which they are inserted c) ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in the social and physical-environmental context. Achievement of results a) b) and c) is ensured by the training activities included in the course of study, verified through constant interaction in the classroom between teachers and students, any exercises, intermediate tests, individual and/or group project activities, the analysis of real cases envisaged within the specific courses in addition to the training activities envisaged for the preparation of the final test, as well as the internship activities carried out in internal laboratories or at companies.

The Degree Programme in Management Engineering awards the final qualification to students who: a) have developed the learning skills necessary to undertake subsequent studies with a high degree of autonomy; b) have developed the learning skills necessary to update their knowledge autonomously. The achievement of results a) and b) is ensured by the training course in its entirety, since it is aimed primarily at ensuring the graduate an adequate mastery of general scientific methods and contents, useful to complete their professional preparation within subsequent training courses and to adapt, through continuous updating, to the rapid technological evolution that characterises information and industrial engineering, and the production sectors in which they are applied. Also contributing to the verification of the ability to learn are the activities of elaboration and analysis of projects adhering to real industrial cases that envisage autonomy in the retrieval of information and interaction with the context of specific study.
