AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

The substantial challenge that the course proposes from the training point of view is both cultural and technical, because inside the factory human resources are needed to understand and dominate this new approach. These are skills which start and integrate the concept of mechatronics in order to prepare more versatile engineers who can understand and integrate the mechanical, electronic, information technology and management.

The new paradigm will allow to operate will lead to a reduction of waste of time, capital and resources from the conception of the finished product, with a more streamlined and precise processing of the material lists, a greater understanding of production dynamics and complete traceability in real time throughout the production process.
