27 Engineering PhD Degree Programs in Italy

The Ph.D. School in Science and Technology of Materials (STM) aims to provide to MS graduates in Materials Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Engineering the skills needed to carry out highly qualified scientific and professional research in the field of Materials Science at Universities and public or private agencies

PhD in Advanced-Systems Engineering The purpose of this international PhD programme is to train a new generation of researchers able to carry out independent research in the areas of Advanced-Systems Engineering and give them the opportunity to transfer and exchange knowledge with national and international research centers and industries.

In the global world, technology is constantly evolving. In the field of engineering, in certain areas, there are flexible approaches that can be studied through distance courses at Selinus University. Different technical disciplines at engineering and technology levels cannot be learned through distance education. For this reason, most of the courses in this faculty are reserved for people who, through previous studies or professional practices, have the necessary credits to access the programs.

In this PhD programme the candidate, through his research, should deepen the technical and human aspects of project management in engineering.

The Ph.D. Program in Bio Robotics is an innovative, cross-sectoral, and interdisciplinary three-year course of advanced studies and supervised research, established at Sant 'Anna School of Advanced Studies in 2012. It enrolls 100+ students, on average 30 students or more per year, and thus is among the largest doctoral schools in robotics and biomedical engineering worldwide.

The PhD programme (according to the Italian Dottorato di Ricerca) is a postgraduate academic qualification. It represents the implementation of the 3rd cycle of education and training to research in the Italian academic system and provides the abilities and competencies required for carrying out highly-qualified research in universities, public institutions and private companies.

The Ph.D. course aims to train researchers capable of carrying out high-quality research work related to Information Engineering in academic and non academic research institutions as well as in industrial research development centers. The course consists of four curricula:

In today's complex and competitive world, industrial engineers are increasingly urged to design, improve, and operate integrated systems of people, materials, equipment, and energy. This program applies fundamental principles from the engineering sciences to efficiently design and analyze large industrial systems both in the production and service sectors. This program is also known as Systems Engineering.

This program provides an update of all the aspects of environmental engineering including tools, techniques, and regulations. It covers a wide range of topics such as air quality control, water sanitation and distribution, water treatment, as well as waste pollutants sources and effects. It also explores the collection and transfer operations for solid wastes, the remediation of hazardous wastes, and the assessment of environmental impacts.

Micro- and nano-electronics is considered an essential technology, as it enables the development and growth of our society. It is explicitly mentioned in the most relevant strategic planning documents of Italy and Europe (eg: PNRR 21-26, European Commission, of which it is one of the Key Enabling Technologies, and the European Chips Act). Today, any technological development, in any sector, from telecommunications to biomedical, from mobility and transportation to energy, requires dedicated micro- and nano-electronic devices, which must be specifically developed and manufactured on large scale. The problem at an international level, identified with the term "chip shortage", which has clearly emerged in recent years, demonstrates how the world economy is increasingly bound to the availability of integrated circuits and systems.

In today's complex and competitive world, industrial engineers are increasingly challenged to design, improve and manage integrated systems of people, materials, equipment and energy. The research thesis should demonstrate how to apply fundamental principles of engineering science to efficiently design and analyze large industrial systems in both manufacturing and service industries. This program is also known as Systems Engineering.

Nowadays, software development often involves working on large programmes as part of a team that will most likely collaborate and interact with others in ancillary disciplines and/or teams for many years. Developing and implementing the principles and practice of software engineering means understanding its context, tools and techniques.

This programme is a valuable source of the principles and techniques needed to design and operate all types of civil construction such as highways, bridges, airports, etc. It incorporates innovations in construction, materials and equipment. The researcher should focus on the essential context in which civil engineering is grounded.

In this research programme, students should implement updates of all aspects of environmental engineering including tools, techniques and regulations. Air quality control, water sanitation and its distribution, water treatment, waste pollutants sources and effects should also be covered. Candidates may draw attention to solid waste collection and transfer operations, hazardous waste remediation and assessment of environmental impacts.

This program illustrates the latest in mining technology. It also depicts the various tasks a mining engineer accomplishes throughout the life of a mine, including deposit search, site value determination, mineral extraction, and post-mining reclamation. It focuses on sustainable land management that meets economic and environmental needs. It covers both aboveground and underground methods of mining for a wide range of substances, including metals, non-metals, and fuels.

This program discusses all aspects relevant to electrical engineers and technicians including technical breakthrough, industry standards, technical aspects, and trends. It provides a 360º definitive look at the world of electricity, covering issues such as its generation, transmission, distribution, measurement, and use.
