Program Overview
The postgraduate Agricultural Engineering program equips students with a system vision for the agro-industrial sector. Graduates develop expertise in automation, robotics, data analysis, and artificial intelligence to enhance agricultural practices, ensure sustainability, and improve productivity. The program offers specialized tracks for engineering and agricultural sciences graduates, providing comprehensive knowledge in areas like precision agriculture, smart irrigation, and agricultural supply chain management. Graduates are highly employable in industries, engineering firms, research centers, and public administration related to agriculture.
Program Outline
Degree Overview:
The postgraduate programme in Agricultural Engineering trains engineers operating in the agro-industrial sector who possess a system vision, i.e. an approach to the study and the implementation of application solutions based on an overall vision of the technological aspects of the agro-industrial chain.
Outline:
- Tracks: There are two tracks: one for students with a Bachelor Degree in Engineering, and another one for students coming from a Bachelor Degree in Agricultural and Forestry Sciences and Technologies.
- Engineering Bachelor track: Plant Physiology and Applied Agri-food Microbiology, Applied Agronomy and Biochemistry, Animal Science.
- Forestry Sciences and Technologies track: Analisi II, Fisica Tecnica, Fondamenti di Automatica con Informatica (in Italian).
- Final Thesis:
Careers:
Thanks to his solid and transversal training, the Agricultural Engineer can find employment mainly in the industry of the agricultural production chain; in engineering companies that design, develop and implement processes, plants and technologies to support production, distribution and marketing related to agriculture and agro-industry; in research centers and public and private laboratories; in technical structures of the public administration and in consultancy offices for the environment, safety, agricultural and livestock production.
