Le modalità di acquisizione di tali conoscenze consistono nello studio di libri di testo avanzati e di materiale didattico di supporto.
L'acquisizione può essere agevolata anche attraverso l'erogazione di didattica frontale, di seminari tematici, di assistenza allo studio da parte dei docenti e di esercitazioni numeriche pratiche di laboratorio o informatiche.
Ulteriori strumenti di acquisizione consistono nello svolgimento di progetti specifici, anche in occasione di stage in aziende o enti di ricerca e nella fase di preparazione della prova finale.
Le prove scritte e/o orali hanno l'obiettivo di verificare la padronanza di strumenti e metodologie dello studente.Capacità di applicare conoscenza e comprensione
La capacità di applicare il proprio bagaglio di conoscenze e metodologie è di fondamentale importanza nella professione dell'ingegnere.
Pertanto, l'organizzazione didattica del corso è fortemente orientata allo sviluppo da parte degli studenti della capacità di applicare le proprie conoscenze alla progettazione o allo studio approfondito di prodotti o processi.
A tal fine, a completamento delle tradizionali attività didattiche frontali, ciascun corso prevederà un'apposita fase progettuale e di approfondimento che gli studenti dovranno affrontare in autonomia.
Tali attività comprenderanno sia approfondimenti sulle più significative metodologie di progettazione ed analisi, sia attività di laboratorio sul campo e visite guidate o stage aziendali.
Infine le attività connesse allo svolgimento della tesi di laurea saranno un importante momento di verifica ed approfondimento delle capacità degli studenti di applicare le competenze maturante durante il percorso formativo.
Lo studente sarà inoltre in grado di gestire attività di laboratorio di differente natura analizzando in modo critico i dati ottenuti.
Il laureato in Ingegneria meccanica sarà in grado di apprendere rapidamente l'utilizzo di strumenti informatici, di attrezzature e di letteratura tecnica per risolvere problemi relativi sia alla fase di progettazione che di controllo e ottimizzazione di un impianto.
Infine il laureato avrà acquisito le capacità di gestire progetti industriali di media complessità con relativa analisi tecnico-economica, e di effettuare un dimensionamento di base sia tecnico che economico di un impianto industriale.
Le modalità di acquisizione di tali conoscenze consistono nello studio di libri di testo avanzati e di materiale didattico di supporto.
L'acquisizione può essere agevolata anche attraverso l'erogazione di didattica frontale, di seminari tematici, di assistenza allo studio da parte dei docenti e di esercitazioni numeriche pratiche di laboratorio o informatiche.
Ulteriori strumenti di acquisizione consistono nello svolgimento di progetti specifici, anche in occasione di stage in aziende o enti di ricerca e nella fase di preparazione della prova finale.
Le prove scritte e/o orali hanno l'obiettivo di verificare la padronanza di strumenti e metodologie dello studente.
Autonomia di giudizio
La preparazione del laureato magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica consentirà allo studente di maturare una spiccata autonomia di giudizio a tutti i livelli.
Il laureato avrà la capacità di selezionare, elaborare ed interpretare dati e informazioni tecniche e bibliografiche, le conoscenze per fare le scelte metodologiche e tecnologiche necessarie alla risoluzione di problemi progettuali e gestionali anche di grande difficoltà e/o innovativi nell'ambito dell'ingegneria industriale, con particolare riferimento alla meccanica e all'energetica.
Sarà in grado di progettare, collaudare, monitorare e valutare le prestazioni di un apparato meccanico, di un sistema energetico, di una tecnologia di lavorazione e di un processo industriale e di valutare i risultati ottenibili in relazione alle scelte effettuate.
Potrà condurre ricerche e applicare le conoscenze esistenti nel campo della meccanica per disegnare, progettare e controllare funzionalmente, per produrre e manutenere strumenti, motori, macchine ed altre attrezzature meccaniche.
I corsi, il piano formativo e gli esami sono strutturati e organizzati in modo da fornire le capacità di risolvere in autonomia problemi di notevole complessità.
Le tecniche necessarie alla progettazione, alla scelta degli strumenti, alla valutazione e verifica, all'analisi tecnico-economica sono insegnate prevalentemente nei corsi caratterizzanti e consolidate attraverso le attività di esercitazione e di laboratorio.
Il percorso formativo proposto è orientato a sviluppare nello studente anche la capacità di lavorare in gruppo.
L'effettivo possesso dell'autonomia di giudizio è verificato sia nella discussione dell'elaborato finale, sia attraverso l'elaborazione di casi di studio aziendali e project work affrontati dagli studenti, individualmente e/o in gruppo, per il superamento delle prove di esame di alcuni insegnamenti del CdS.
Infine, in sede di attività di stage, tirocini, o di ulteriori attività formative, lo studente può dare prova della propria attitudine di analizzare problemi di natura applicata in un ambiente di apprendimento diverso da quello sperimentato durante le lezioni.Abilità comunicative
Al termine del percorso di studi della Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica, lo studente avrà maturato la capacità di esporre in modo chiaro ed esaustivo i risultati del proprio lavoro, sia nei confronti di tecnici qualificati sia nei confronti delle diverse realtà industriali che sono normalmente coinvolte nella realizzazione dei progetti ingegneristici.
Il laureato magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica sarà quindi in grado di redigere tanto ricerche tecniche su base bibliografica, quanto elaborati progettuali, e di interpretare e discutere con altri tecnici i risultati di indagini sperimentali, studi e progetti.
Le abilità comunicative verranno conseguite sia attraverso le lezioni teoriche impartite dai docenti, sia attraverso lo studio e l'analisi di testi tecnici ed articoli scientifici, con particolare riferimento ai corsi caratterizzanti.
La maggior parte delle prove di esame prevedono, inoltre, prove orali che richiederanno allo studente di applicarsi per sviluppare le abilità comunicative necessarie a dimostrare la preparazione e l'apprendimento, anche in riferimento a tecniche comunicative tipiche dell'ingegneria.
Nei corsi delle materie caratterizzanti sono previsti, inoltre, elaborati progettuali sviluppati autonomamente o in gruppo, e la predisposizione di relazioni e documentazioni tecniche relative alle esercitazioni pratiche.
L'obiettivo è quello di sviluppare nel laureato la capacità di operare in autonomia e di lavorare in gruppi di lavoro, anche interdisciplinari e la propensione all'aggiornamento, oltre alla capacità di redigere correttamente un elaborato di natura tecnico-scientifica.
L'espletamento del progetto di stage nelle diverse aree di apprendimento costituisce, infatti, una occasione sia per il tutor aziendale che per quello accademico di verificare la capacità dello studente di utilizzare le proprie competenze di comunicazione per interagire all'interno di un contesto organizzativo differente da quello universitario.
Infine, nella stesura e nella discussione della tesi di laurea, lo studente può dar prova della propria capacità di sintesi e di trasmissione di concetti ed applicazioni metodologiche, implementando diverse modalità di indagine della realtà.
Capacità di apprendimento
Il corso di laurea magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica è organizzato e strutturato in modo da fornire allo studente la forma mentis necessaria ad aggiornare le proprie competenze in completa autonomia una volta terminato il percorso formativo universitario.
Tale autonomia di apprendimento è di fondamentale importanza sia per il mondo lavorativo sia per il modo della ricerca e della formazione superiore (dottorato di ricerca)
Le attività didattiche che caratterizzano il corso di laurea magistrale in Ingegneria Meccanica consentiranno al laureato di risolvere problemi ingegneristici di anche di grande complessità, o innovativi sia attraverso il rigore metodologico caratteristico delle materie di base, sia attraverso lo studio di problematiche ingegneristiche e l'utilizzo di metodologie e tecniche avanzate studiate nelle materie caratterizzanti.
Il corso è strutturato in modo tale da consentire allo studente di sviluppare le capacità di apprendimento per stadi e in maniera graduale, partendo dallo sviluppo di un ragionamento logico ipotesi-tesi, dall'impostazione e la risoluzione di un problema generico di matematica, informatica, fisica e chimica, fino ad arrivare alla preparazione di relazioni tecniche e di elaborati ingegneristici e alla risoluzione di problemi di carattere tecnico ed organizzativo, direttamente applicabili nell'esercizio dell'attività di ingegnere.
Il laureato sarà in grado di approfondire autonomamente le conoscenze e le competenze acquisite nel percorso formativo del CdS, in modo tale da percepire la necessità di aggiornamento rispetto alle novità normative e al progresso tecnologico.
Il principale punto di verifica della capacità di ulteriore autonomo apprendimento consiste nella prova finale in cui lo studente si misura con problematiche nuove, che richiedono l'apprendimento di conoscenze non necessariamente fornite dai docenti durante le attività curriculari.
Le diverse fasi del processo di redazione dell'elaborato finale (progettazione, raccolta ed elaborazione dati ed informazioni, stesura sequenziale), e le caratteristiche dell'elaborato stesso (chiarezza, coerenza delle argomentazioni esposte, ricchezza delle fonti bibliografiche) permettono di accertare l'attitudine dello studente all'autonomo approfondimento sui temi specifici trattati.Requisiti di ammissione

Students will be asked to develop a project that, in addition to providing a practical example for estimating river flow velocity, will allow them to investigate on the role of the image analysis. The project will be assigned without a rigid scheme, students will be invited to identify a scientific question on which they can investigate with the software application. During the project they will identify the answer to the scientific question and motivate their conclusions. Setting small groups and interacting with the lecturer will stimulate Making judgements - Communication skills - Learning skills under the hydrological perspective.
