The training course can be divided into several interconnected learning areas, including an area of completion of basic technical training, with contributions from various cultural areas that help to establish the culture and the professional figure of the engineer. These skills are provided by characterizing and similar courses. The group of similar courses aims to broaden the interdisciplinary nature of the preparation of the mechanical engineer, offering varied content, ranging from economics and business management to the study of port infrastructure. On the other hand, the group of characterizing courses was introduced in order to provide students more in-depth knowledge on the typical subjects of mechanical engineering, developing at the same time the transversal skills and knowledge of the most advanced design tools. Therefore, in this group of courses there is particular attention to the development of skills to apply knowledge and of ‘soft skills’, such as the ability to work in groups, the autonomy of judgment and communication skills.

The graduate in the Master’s Degree in Energetic Infrastructures and Logistics in Port Engineering has acquired all the competences and knowledge to coordinate working groups in the energetic management of the port productive activities and the management activities of the port itself. The training received during the course of study allows the graduate to design traditional and renewable energy infrastructures for port areas. At the same time, the graduate can play the role of Energy Manager of the above-mentioned infrastructures.

Some possible employment opportunities can be:

• Energy Manager;
• Design of plants for the production, transport and final uses of energy within engineering companies;
• Responsible for management and logistics in companies operating in the naval sector;
• Designer of components for the shipbuilding industry;
• Responsible for management and logistics in commercial and industrial port activities;
• Self-employment (it is necessary to be registered in the Order of Engineers, section A, after passing an examination of enabling);
• Continuation of studies through PhD courses.

The graduate in Energetic Infrastructures and Logistics in Port Engineering will be able to count on solid base competences both in the mechanical field and in that of the similar courses.

The Department to which most of the teachers belong has been awarded the “Department of Excellence” for the quality of its research activities. The high quality of the research is also demonstrated by the number of spin-offs (3 active and 3 now transformed into real businesses).
