In Reggio Emilia the first graduates of Unimore's ‘Digital Automation Engineering’ degree programme
The Digital Automation Engineering (DAE) degree programme at the Department of Sciences and Methods of Engineering (DISMI) at Unimore celebrated the graduation of its first three students on Wednesday, December 4th.
The Digital Automation Engineering (DAE) degree programme at the Department of Sciences and Methods of Engineering (DISMI) at Unimore took its first steps just over two years ago, driven by the department and the local community. The programme design was a collaborative effort between DISMI and local companies, resulting in three specialised educational pathways with a strong emphasis on soft skills and active participation. The companies involved in the project have provided ongoing support over the years, holding seminars during classes, promoting company visits and internships, and awarding graduation prizes to cover tuition fees for the most deserving students.
The Digital Automation Engineering degree programme offers three areas of expertise: “Digital Infrastructure,” “Digital Design,” and “Digital Manufacturing,” and is taught entirely in English. This is a factor that attracts students from abroad, such as Dr. Sacit Tezcanlar from Turkey, who graduated with a thesis on the mechanical design of electric stairlifts, based on his work at the local company GME Montascale (supervisors: Professors Marco Cocconcelli and Andrea Spaggiari). Recent graduate Alesia Doci obtained her degree through her thesis work developed at Ferrari, based on a Life Cycle Assessment analysis of the electric motor of the “SF90 Stradale” (supervisor: Prof. Roberto Rosa). Finally, newly graduated Valeria Braglia completed her studies with honours, presenting a thesis on drone swarms developed at the French research centre INRIA (supervisor: Prof. Cristian Secchi).
The high level of the work presented and the close collaboration with leading companies and research organisations show how the Master's degree in Digital Automation Engineering represents a perfect convergence between the worlds of engineering and innovation, updated to meet the demands of the world of work at a global level.
‘The course is a driving force for the internationalisation of the department and the city, and has enabled a significant increase in the number of incoming students to the department from European and non-European countries,’ says Prof. Manuel Iori, Course Chairman. ‘The coexistence of Italian and foreign students and the constant participation of companies in the DAE has enabled students to fully understand the potential of the topics they study and their applications. I am therefore extremely pleased to have been able to graduate the first three students of this course, and to have witnessed wide-ranging theses with great scientific depth.’
