Graduates from the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science must have sound skills and broad scientific knowledge in order to be able to interact with experts from all the fields of engineering and from the economic-management area. Thus, graduates in Engineering in Computer Science should have comprehensive and extensive knowledge of engineering disciplines, ad-hoc computer skills and sound competencies in planning and design methodologies.
The curriculum of the master of science was developed based on the assumption that students should have preliminarily acquired knowledge of basic scientific skills and of engineering disciplines. To this end, the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science, provides several courses of studies depending on the type of degree and the curriculum of the candidate.
The curriculum includes a set of disciplines that are essential for the training of graduates from the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science.
Thus, the curriculum is organized based on several courses, which will lead students to acquire fundamental competencies for their future career and specific knowledge in one of the key sectors of Computer Engineering.
Courses are provided in English; this organisation allows international students to access courses and fosters students’ integration, as well as to exchange knowledge in an international context.
The completion of the curriculum, enables students to have deeper knowledge in their specific sector and to improve their communication skills through seminars.
In order to provide ad hoc experience in the development of complex projects and in the solution of complicated problems in the field of Computer Science, the curriculum requires the preparation of a dissertation.
The study plan is organized as follows:
· Foundation compulsory courses, which will provide basic knowledge in the field of Engineering
in Computer Science;
· Foundation specialised courses, which will provide specific knowledge in the various sub-areas
of Engineering in Computer Science;
· Related and supplementary courses;
· Seminar activities
· Elective courses
· Dissertation
The total hours for students’ personal learning activities or other individual educational activities, will be defined in the Program Regulation of the degree course.
Graduates from the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science must be able to analyse and design complex system by assessing the impact of Computer Science solutions in an application context, both in terms of technical aspects and as far as organizational aspects are concerned. Graduates should also be able to assess the economic, social and ethical impact related to the solutions adopted.
The acquisition of autonomous judgment is attained by means of individual and group study, participation in workshops, the drawing up of reports concerning project activities and the preparation of the dissertation as final exam. Students’ ability to express their autonomous judgment will be assessed through the drawing up of papers on subjects related to individual modules and the final exam.
Graduates from the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science should be able to interact with experts from diverse application sectors, in order to understand their specific needs when developing IT tools to support their activities.
Graduates from this degree course should be able to clearly describe and explain solutions and technical aspects of their sector. In particular, they should be capable of training collaborators, coordinate project groups and take part in them in the computer industry, as well as plan and manage training in the IT sector.
These skills and abilities are acquired though the educational activities planned in the degree course, which include occasions for students to interact and discuss their choices in group works, seminars, papers and projects preparation and also through the preparation of the dissertation
Graduates should be able to speak and write English fluently. In particular, teaching in English aims at preparing students to interact in this language in their professional field.
The assessment of students’ communication skills is carried out in the final exam.
Graduates from the Master of Science in Engineering in Computer Science should be able to autonomously acquire new technical and specialized knowledge from the relevant scientific and technical literature both through the detailed study of the subjects in their curriculum and the analysis of other areas of Engineering in Computer Science.
These skills will be acquired and developed by means of traditional educational tools (lectures and exercises) and workshops (individual and group work). Students’ learning ability will be assessed through written and/or oral tests in exams, in particular through the drawing up of a technical report for those subjects that require a project activity.
