Introduction
The Master of Science in Computer Engineering aims to train a highly qualified professional figure, able to work in the Information and Automation Technologies and in all the application sectors that these technologies enable. The graduate will, therefore, be able, with his solid preparation, to face the challenges of a labour market that will offer important opportunities in the wake of the technological innovation of the information society.
Curriculum
The Programme
The study plan is divided into three areas of specialization identified by the curricula: Internet-oriented information systems (Sistemi informativi orientati ad Internet), Automation (Automazione), and Industrial Informatics (Informatica industriale). The educational and training activities also include projects on cutting-edge technologies (such as e.g. machine learning, analytics, adaptive systems, multiagent systems, etc.) carried out in the University laboratories and external companies.
Qualifying educational objectives of the Master's Degree Course in Computer Engineering are:
- the acquisition of solid knowledge, both theoretical and applicative, in the various basic areas of information technology;
- the knowledge of the scientific method of investigation that allows to understand and use computer skills effectively;
- knowledge of processing systems and the development of in-depth operational skills for their use;
- knowledge of automation and control systems at the basis of industrial and advanced robotics applications;
- knowledge of basic and advanced methods for the analysis, design, development and maintenance of computer systems and networks;
- knowledge of distributed and mobile system technologies and their applications in social networks;
- the acquisition of basic elements of professional culture;
- the ability to use the English language effectively in professional activities and relationships including the understanding and production of scientific and technical documentation;
- the ability to work both in teams and independently, also assuming organisational and coordination responsibilities.
Double Degree options
The Master Degree offers its students a wide range of double degree options, carried out in collaboration within the STIC&A program (a France-Italy university agreement. See https://www.unipr.it/doppititoli_UE and http://ingegneria.unipr.it/relinter/).
