Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering
Master degree
LM-33 classe di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica
Course objectives
• To guarantee a solid methodological basis in mechanical engineering.
• To train high-profile professional figures able to design complex systems by integrating technologies in the fields of electronics, controls and robotics.
• To give the professional skills to conduct and lead mechanical engineering projects integrating smart ICT, electrical and control systems.
Graduates can design advanced mechanical systems also applying digital technologies to products and processes.
Programme structure
Two curricula enable students to orient their choices on learning paths in line with their own interests:
MECHATRONICS
Training in developing projects involving mechatronic products, i.e., mechanically-based systems on which information engineering technologies are grafted.
SMART TECHNOLOGY ENGINEERING
To provide mechanical engineers with additional skills in the field of ICT in different contexts, such as:
• manufacturing plants (Smart Manufacturing);
• building and human activities (Smart Living).
Innovative teaching
First year
Mandatory courses in mechanics, sustainable energy, electronics, and automation.
Second year
Elective subjects to deepen and diversify students' skills.
Multidisciplinary laboratories where small teams carry out projects in collaboration with industry and are supervised by a multidisciplinary team of professors.
• Mechatronic Systems
• Smart Technology
Course topics
Functional design of mechatronic systems
Mechanical vibrations
Sustainable energy
Thermal physics for advanced technology
Virtual and physical prototyping
Advanced machine design
Materials for advanced engineering applications
Advanced manufacturing technologies
Industrial plant design and simulation
Smart sensors and electronic systems
Data science and automation
Multidisciplinary laboratories
Mechatronic systems
LAB
Coordinator: Prof. Paolo Righettini -
paolo.righettini@unibg.it
To train students in the development of multidisciplinary projects, related to mechatronic systems, where mechanics, electronics, control theory and computer science synergically act together.
Activities will cover the following subjects:
• Advanced mechatronics systems
• Machine and structural design
• Industrial IoT
• Mechanical system control
• Embedded system software design
Smart technology LAB
Coordinator: Prof. Paolo Gaiardelli
paolo.gaiardelli@unibg.it
To build foundational knowledge and managing modern production plants through an interdisciplinary project.
Activities will cover the following
• Advanced production systems
• Smart manufacturing technologies
• Human-machine Interaction
• Smart energy systems
• Smart electrical infrastructure
Professional roles
Technical and managerial roles in all the mechanical sectors pervaded by ICT, such as energy plants, industrial maintenance, and transportation.
Graduates deal with the design of
• mechanical products equipped with embedded electronics and mechatronic systems.
• production plants integrated with IoT.
• production systems with self-regulating capabilities.
• monitoring and control systems in various contexts, from homes to smart districts.
Admission and entry requirements
Requirements are a B.Sc. or equivalent from an accredited institution and a B1 level in English. Admission decisions are based on the curriculum of the candidate and an interview. Access will normally be granted to applicants with at least 36 ECTS in basic courses and 24 ECTS in 3 (or more) disciplinary fields of Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
Admission and entry requirements
If you are non-EU student and have a B.Sc. obtained outside Italy, your educational qualification must be verified by the University of Bergamo before enrolment.
Non-EU students living abroad must apply through the Italian diplomatic offices in their Country.
Two calls for preliminary online evaluation of non-EU students are provided each year.
Double Degree Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering (UniBg) & Mechatronics
(Uni Stuttgart)
Double Degree between UniBg & Uni Stuttgart
Students enrolled in Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering can also apply for the double degree programme with the University of Stuttgart during the first year.
Selected students will get two M.Sc. degrees:
• Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering from University of Bergamo (IT)
• Mechatronics from University of Stuttgart (DE)
The application will be open to both students of the Mechatronics and Smart Technology Engineering (STE) curriculum from UniBg.
Students spend the 1st year at their home university and the 2nd at the partner university.
1st semester 3rd semester
2nd semester 4th semester
Final thesis in English, supervised by professors from both universities and presented at the host university according to local regulations.
Why apply for the Double Degree programme?
• Study in two different countries and broaden your cultural perspectives.
• Earn both an Italian and an international degree, boosting your competitiveness in the job market.
• Access to different study programs and complementary teaching methods.
• Take the opportunity to learn or improve additional languages.
• Start building a global network of academic and professional connections.
