Orientation

The Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering trains versatile engineers with a solid and cross-disciplinary technical background, well-suited for all areas of industrial engineering.The program is built on strong foundations in mathematics, physics, chemistry, computer science, and fluid and structural mechanics, and progresses toward advanced knowledge in subjects such as technical drawing, materials science, applied thermodynamics, machine design, and applied mechanics.
Students acquire skills that can be applied across key areas of mechanical engineering, including:

• energy (including renewable sources)
• thermodynamics and energy conversion systems
• land and railway mobility
• applied mechanics and advanced mechanical design
• materials and manufacturing technologies
• industrial plants

Further studies

Graduates in Mechanical Engineering have direct access to all Master’s Degree Programs in class LM-33, in particular:

• Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering for Energy and Environment
• Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering for Design and Production

Both programs are offered by the School of Polytechnic and Basic Sciences of the University of Naples Federico II.

Graduates in Mechanical Engineering can work across a wide range of sectors, including mechanical, electromechanical, process, automotive, transport, manufacturing, and materials processing industries.
Mechanical engineers are also employed in engineering firms, public and private technical offices, local authorities, and research centers. They are often involved in the management of departments and in the planning and organization of operations and maintenance activities in industrial and service sectors.
One year after completing the Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II, the employment rate exceeds 90% (AlmaLaurea data), among the highest in Italy.
