Mechanical Engineering

  • Students start by studying basic subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry and computer science) to gain sound knowledge of the disciplines of mechanical engineering.
  • Subsequently, they study disciplines focusing on mechanical engineer, thus acquiring knowledge and skills in the area of mechanics and energy
  • The course provides transversal skills that complete the background of mechanical engineers, through disciplines that are selected by students, the final dissertation, internships and apprenticeships.

 

  • How to design and manufacture industrial products, using the most advanced mechanical methods and tools, and the most innovative materials
  • How to produce and process any material and how to identify its damage
  • How machines work
  • How to apply the methods and tools of thermodynamics to study heat engines
  • How to transform primary energy into mechanical and/or electrical energy

Course description

Training is carried out through lectures, practical exercises, laboratories, interdisciplinary projects, and internships in institutions and companies. Through these activities, students obtain in-depth technical knowledge of the materials to be used in mechanical constructions and technologies for their processing, on the design and methodologies of machines, on fluid dynamics, on the problems of transformation and production of energy, as well as on measurements and industrial instrumentation. The degree provides direct access to the Master’s Degree Programs in mechanical and energy engineering.

Residential Center

It complements and completes the services provided by the University of Calabria and has put into shape the idea of a British-American campus-style University. It encompasses 10 districts hosting the university residences, consisting of apartments with double and single rooms, living room, kitchen and toilets. In these districts there are common areas for study and recreational activities and sports, there are TV rooms, game rooms and gyms; launderettes and bike rental services are also available.
