Orientation

Graduates of the IMEA Master’s Degree Programme will be able to address typical design challenges in Mechanical Engineering, with a strong emphasis on energy-related applications. Key areas of expertise include the design of components and systems for energy production and conversion, the development and optimisation of propulsion systems, the techno-economic optimisation of energy systems, advanced energy management, environmental impact assessment, and the evaluation of innovative technologies for renewable energy and poly-generative systems.

These skills are highly interchangeable and applicable across multiple sectors, including industry, civil engineering, services, and consultancy. They can be acquired by choosing one of the four proposed curricula (Innovative Energy Systems, Advanced Energy Management, Propulsion Systems, and Sustainable Energy) or through curricula ad-hoc designed by the student in close cooperation with the appropriate faculty members.

The Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and Environment aims to train the following professional profiles, all of which offer strong employment perspectives both nationally and internationally:

• Designer of energy systems and components for civil and/or industrial applications
• Specialist in energy production and conversion from conventional and renewable sources
• Expert in advanced energy management in civil and/or industrial contexts
• Specialist in the design and optimisation of fluid machinery
• Specialist in low-impact propulsion systems, focusing on environmental sustainability
• Expert in building thermophysics and technological systems serving civil and industrial buildings

Admission requirements (art. 5 of Regolamento Didattico)

1. The Technical Advisory Board defines the admission criteria and any enrolment procedure, in accordance with applicable legal provisions.
2. The assessment of individual academic preparation is mandatory in all cases. Candidates meeting the curricular requirements have access to the assessment.
3. The Technical Advisory Board verifies curricular requirements through the analysis of the student’s academic record. Enrolment in the Master’s Degree Programme is not permitted if the minimum curricular requirements are not met.

If the minimum requirements are not complied with, the Teaching Coordination Committee will assist the student by prescribing enrolment in specific courses offered by the University which must be successfully completed prior to the formal enrolment http://www.unina.it/-/5601348-iscrizione-ai-corsi-singoli.

With reference to the requirement of at least 18 CFU in the scientific subject areas IIND-06/A, IIND-06/B and IIND-07/A, the Technical Advisory Board may recognize equivalences for credits obtained in other subject areas, based on the contents of similar courses attended by the student, documented through official transcripts.

Students holding a bachelor’s degree in class L-9 or an equivalent qualification, but with fewer than 18 CFU in the IIND-06/A, IIND-06/B and IIND-07/A subject areas, will be admitted to the Technical Advisory Board with a recommendation to adopt an Individual Study Plan including a contents alignment path, without any increase in the total number of required CFUs.

Following the verification of curricular requirements, an assessment of the student’s individual academic preparation is also mandatory. This includes the evaluation of adequate language skills as well.

This assessment is managed by the Degree Programme’s Teaching Coordination Committee, in accordance with guidelines established uniformly for all Master’s Degree Programmes within the College of Engineering of the School of Polytechnic and Basic Sciences.

To this aim, the weighted average grade M based on the CFU credits of the courses and the marks (on 30-point scale) obtained in the exams required for the Bachelor’s Degree, granting access to the Master’s Programme, is computed. Academic preparation is considered adequate if M ≥ 24.

Students who do not meet this requirement must undertake a specific admission test.

The admission test consists of a questionnaire with 35 multiple-choice questions randomly selected from a pool of 140 questions covering topics relevant to the core areas of Mechanical Engineering:

IIND-06/A (ex ING-IND/08) - Macchine a Fluido

IIND-06/B (ex ING-IND/09) - Sistemi per l’Energia e l’Ambiente

IIND-07/A (ex ING-IND/10) - Fisica Tecnica Industriale

IIND-07/B (ex ING-IND/11) - Fisica Tecnica Ambientale

IMIS-01/A (ex ING-IND/12) - Misure Meccaniche e Termiche

IIND-02/A (ex ING-IND/13) - Meccanica Applicata alle Macchine

IIND-03/A (ex ING-IND/14) - Progettazione Meccanica e Costruzione Di Macchine

IIND-03/B (ex ING-IND/15) - Disegno e Metodi dell'ingegneria Industriale

IIND-04/A (ex ING-IND/16) - Tecnologie e Sistemi di Lavorazione

IIND-05/A (ex ING-IND/17) - Impianti Industriali Meccanici

Specifically, to ensure a balanced coverage of the above listed subject areas, 5 questions are randomly selected from 20 available questions for each area. The test is considered successfully passed if the student answers correctly at least 21 out of 35 questions.

Regarding the verification of language proficiency, students who have not obtained a degree taught in Italian or English, and who do not possess a certification or attestation of language proficiency in either language at a minimum B1 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), are required to demonstrate adequate comprehension and conversational skills in Italian or English through a proficiency test.

Furthermore, since fluency in a European Union language other than Italian is mandatory for obtaining the Master’s Degree, the programme includes in the curriculum a minimum of 3 CFU credits dedicated to acquiring “Additional Language Skills”, in English.

The achievement of such skills, at a minimum B2 level, will be certified according to procedures defined by the University Language Centre (cla.unina.it). Students who already hold an English certificate at B2 level or higher at the time of enrolment may apply for its recognition for the purpose of fulfilling the “Additional Language Skills” requirement, following procedures established by the University Language Centre.

All 140 questions are available and can be consulted at the following link:

A designated committee will administer the test according to a schedule available on this page.

To register for the test, it is necessary to complete the form at the following link:

https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=auLPL2K7sEax4yj52gxF_SXeNKE0iP1Iolr3mbJyvztUMDZRWDFIQVRHSzVMQVdQVEJWUUdHMVAxQy4u&wdLOR=cDF03A002-AA49-4E38-B095-EF4FDA099754

The test can be taken a maximum of three times, with a minimum interval of one month between two consecutive attempts.

However, students may take the test even before completing their Bachelor’s Degree in order to assess their preparation in view of future enrolment in the Master’s Degree Programme.

Indeed, the 140 questions are specifically designed to evaluate the individual knowledge in the core subject areas of Mechanical Engineering.

These questions offer a valuable opportunity to independently assess one’s level of preparation and to identify any gaps or topics that may require further study, in advance of formal enrolment.
