FAQ - Orientation LM-IMEA

The Course in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and the Environment aims at training professional profiles in between those of Mechanical Engineering and those of Energy Engineering. It provides innovative, highly qualified contents to train engineers with solid and rigorous methodological preparation.

The training path allows to focus the preparation on more specific aspects in the thermo-mechanical, technical and technological fields, with particular reference to the rational use of energy resources and environmental sustainability. The Degree Course therefore provides high-level skills and knowledge useful especially in a multidisciplinary context, encouraging teamwork, according to the current approach of the industrial production world.

For detailed information on educational objectives, job opportunities, enrollment procedure, etc., consult the degree course website, and in particular the IMEA Orientation Section and the IMEA Didactic regulations section, from which it is possible to access the Student Guide, the Teaching Regulations and Sheets.

Graduates in Mechanical Engineering have the opportunity to enter the world of work in highly specialized and technologically advanced sectors.

These professionals are involved in the design of components and systems for the generation of mechanical, thermal, and refrigeration energy. They are capable of evaluating the performance of machines and systems for the separate or combined production of mechanical and thermal energy. In addition, they can design and optimize systems and components for heat exchange, heating and cooling, and systems for the polygeneration of multiple forms of energy.

Typical career opportunities for graduates in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and the Environment include: manufacturing, mechanical, chemical, petrochemical and process industries; public/private organizations operating in the sector of technologies for the production, storage and transport of energy; industries producing turbines, compressors, pumps, heat exchangers, refrigeration, air conditioning and steam production systems; consulting firms.

The Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and the Environment covers high-tech topics in the field of engineering with a strongly interdisciplinary approach. Consequently, in addition to passion and great willpower, the student must possess or commit from the beginning to define an effective study method that allows to keep up with the topics covered on a daily basis. To this end, assiduous attendance and active participation in lessons, in addition to interaction with colleagues and professors, contribute fundamentally to the formation of this method.

From the point of view of the knowledge required at the beginning of the course, it is a good idea to try the self-assessment test in the orientation section of the website and take a look at the planned courses ( https://www.corsi.unina.it/D20/insegnamenti/2025 ) and the related Sheets, which report the contents and training objectives.
