2. General presentation of the study programme
The continuous development of computers and, more in general, of information technology has had an extraordinary impact on the productive, social and economic reality of recent years. These disciplines are now determining factors for culture and for the organization of modern businesses and social activities; indeed they encourage their transformation and innovation. It is in this scenario, which is continuously evolving due to the advent of new technologies and the emergence of new needs, that the Study Programme in Engineering of Computing Systems is positioned. Its goal is to train engineers and equip them with an extensive cultural preparation, enabling them to develop and use computer methods and tools with an engineering-oriented perception, and to face problems that are common within an extremely wide spectrum of applications. The Degree Programme in Engineering of Computing Systems will allow students to build professional profiles that are among the most required on the job market.
3. Learning objectives
The highly interdisciplinary nature of information technology, and of its countless applications, requires Information Engineers a broad cultural background right from the Bachelor Degree level, so that one can successfully enter the job market as soon as possible, as well as form a solid base for possibly continuing one’s studies to higher levels.
Consequently, the Study Programme focuses strongly on what can be considered the basics of Engineering and Informatics, pushing students to acquire the essential scientific skills needed for engineering studies (physics and mathematics, such as analysis, geometry, algebra, mathematical logic, statistics and probability theory). These foundational skills are developed during the first three terms.
The computer skills that are taught are practical, yet focused on a foundational level; they are also accompanied by basic skills in other branches of Information Engineering such as Automation Science, Telecommunications and Electronics.The engineering studies can be completed in different ways. One can choose a path that is specifically suited for continuing to higher degrees, and that therefore will include engineering subjects from sectors that are outside of Information Engineering (such as Chemistry, Technical Physics and Mechanics); or one can focus more on subjects that are within the Information sector, and that will include project activities that are specific to Engineering of Computing Systems.
Students who do not intend to continue their studies are also offered the opportunity to complete a work stage at one of the many companies in the area, so as to acquire specific professional skills.
4. Organization of the study programme and further studies
4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications
Computer Engineering studies are divided into three stages: the Bachelor Degree, the Master of Science, which is awarded after an additional two years, and the Ph.D, which lasts yet another three years (for detailed information please see the Didattica section of the following website: http://www.ingindinf.polimi.it).
Politecnico di Milano or other Italian universities may occasionally offer masters at the first level (qualification required: Bachelor of Science) or second level (qualification required: Master of Science); they last one year and focus on subjects that are specific to Engineering of Computing Systems.
The Bachelor Degree Program in Engineering of Computing Systems at Milano Leonardo is offered in two different formats: on-site and online. They are equivalent and the content of the two programmes is largerly compatible. The on-site programme is based on traditional teaching, with classes and laboratories where the presence of students is mandatory. The online (IOL) programme is meant for working students who cannot attend lessons on site. It is offered through multimedia material that students may consult freely on-line, complemented by "live lessons", offered through a teleconferencing system that builds virtual classes with a limited number of students. Asynchronous interacrtions with instructors and tutors are also encouraged through ad-hoc forums and blogs. In both cases examinations are taken on site.
The on-site programme is further differentiated in two tracks for accessing the Master Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering or in Geoinformatics Engineering and the Master Degree Program in Telecommunication Engineering. Vice-versa, the online programme (IOL) includes a single track for accessing the Master Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering or in Geoinformatics Engineering.
4.2 Further Studies
The qualification grants access to "Laurea Magistrale" (2nd degree), "Corso di Specializzazione di primo livello" (1st level Specialization Course) and "Master Universitario di primo livello" (1st level University Master)
Admission to the Master of Science Programme is subject to a verification, by a commission, that the minimal requirements, stated by the Council of the Study Programme (Consiglio di Corso di Studio) and published on the websites of the School and of the Study Programme, are satisfied.
Please note that modules that are added to a candidates’ study programme for the Master of Science, which cannot exceed the maximum allowed amount of 32 CFU credits, and the subsequent awarding of these credits, do not guarantee access to the Master of Science Programme.
5. Professional opportunities and work market
5.1 Professional status of the degree
The Computing Engineering graduate is an expert with a university background, capable of designing and implementing management information systems, of automating services in public and private organizations using Internet and Web technologies, of developing multimedia systems, of controlling production systems and other complex industrial systems, of modelling the environment, of implementing applications with robotics and artificial intelligence techniques, of building network architectures, of developing integrated systems and equipment for factory supervision and control.
The Degree Programme in Engineering of Computing Systems gives graduates the status of Computer Engineer. After graduating, students can take the State examinations to be registered under Section B of the Engineer’s Professional Register and practice with the title of Junior Engineer – a profession that requires this registration.
The Professional Register is divided into Sectors; each corresponds to different professional practices that can be accessed, according to the Classification of the Bachelor Degree Programme in which the applicant graduated. Computer Engineers are placed in Class 9 (Information Engineering).
Specific instructions regarding the professional activities that are allowed in the Sectors listed under Section B of the Professional Register can be found in the Presidential Decree dated 5th of June 2001, no.328 “Modifications and integrations to the requisites for admittance to State examination and related tests to exercise certain professions, in addition to the rules of the related educational systems” published in the ordinary Supplement No. 212/L of the Official Journal no. 190 of 17 August 2001 – General series.
State Examination, and enrolling in the corresponding Professional Register, is not currently required in order to work as an information technology professional in the Computer Engineering field --neither in the private nor in the public sectors.5.2 Careers options and profiles
Computer applications are constantly growing and changing; they play a significant part in research and development. A Computer Engineering expert is therefore an Engineer with a wide cultural profile, characterized by the ability to solve new problems but also handle more traditional applications that require well-established technologies.
Professional jobs in the computer-engineering field appear in numerous statistics as very attractive and well paid by industries.
According to official Italian government statistics (ISTAT - http://lau.istat.it/MD/index.html), in 2004 computer engineers were the category that by far required less time to permanently enter the working world (only 6 months after graduating for the national average, it is far less in the Milan area).
Politecnico di Milano’s objective is to train engineers that are capable of ensuring their qualities are valued on a global level, as demonstrated by the presence of our graduates in high positions in foreign countries; however, even if one simply considers the Lombardy region or the area of Milan, the number of businesses in need of computer skills is extremely high.The professional work of a Computer Engineer includes: the design and creation of company IT systems, the automation of public and private services using modern and internet-based technologies, the development of multimedia and hypermedia systems, the modeling and control of production processes and complex systems, the development of IT systems based on joint hardware-software design, robotics, the development of systems that are based on artificial intelligence, and the design of architecture and network IT systems.
Moreover, the availability in the study program of a track in communication technologies allows the Computer Engineer to access professional careers also related to: the design and optimization of devices and systems for transmitting information, the management of communication networks and the development of systems and tools for the multimedia signals processing.
5.3 Qualification profile
Computer engineer
profile in a work context:
The expert in Computer Engineering is an Engineer with a broad cultural profile, characterized by the ability to develop software applications through proven technologies.
Graduate students in Computer Engineering are particularly required for their ability to solve IT problems with a broader interdisciplinary and engineering approach than that one from computer field.
The study programme trains professional profiles with many skills, that cover different areas of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) field, with a perfect balance between information technology and communication.
After qualification, it is possible to take the State professional examination to register in Section B of the Register of Engineers and carry out - with the title of Junior Engineer - a profession for which such registration is required. However, it must be noted that the aforementioned State Examination for the qualification to practice as an Information Engineer and the registration in the relevant Register are not currently necessary to exercise the professions related to computer science, neither in the private field nor in the public field.
skills of this function:
The computer engineer trained by this study programme has skills that allow him to design, create and manage software systems for information management and network communication. These skills include corporate information systems, systems for the automation of services in public and private entities through modern Internet and Web-based technologies, systems for encoding and management of multimedia signals, systems for the control of production processes, infrastructures for the network, communication systems, industrial automation infrastructures, robotic systems, integrated systems for supervision and control, technologies for plant equipment.
Job opportunities:
Information and communication technology applications are constantly growing and diversifying; they have an important component dedicated to research and development.
In many statistics concerning these professional profiles in the field of computer engineering, there is an high demand of these graduate students, with a well paid wage. According to ISTAT official data, computer engineers are the graduate students that need the shortest time to enter the job market (with a national average of only 6 months from qualification, and less than two months for graduate students of Politecnico di Milano). This trend applies worldwide.
Politecnico di Milano has the ambition to train engineers able to provide their talents in a global context, as demonstrated by the presence of our graduate students in high positions in foreign countries, but also only in Lombardia or Milan area, there is an extremely high need of computer skills required by industries.
6. Enrolment
6.1 Access requirements
Italian secondary school leaving qualification or other comparable foreign qualification (level 4 EQF)

The Bachelor Degree Program in Engineering of Computing Systems On Line (IOL) programme is meant for working students who cannot attend lessons on site. The online course is equivalent to the more traditional on-site one, with the same rights and duties for students. The Board of the Study Program (Consiglio di Corso di Studi, CCS) manages the program regarding both didactic and organizational issues, and is endowed with suitable management and control tools to guarantee the quality of the educational process. Given the particular nature of the IOL teaching form, compared to the other didactic activities offered by the Politecnico di Milano, a Scientific Committee is also in charge of constantly monitoring the general performance and supports the CCS by analysing all the specific factors related to the peculiar teaching form.
Student activity is based on the availability of multimedial material downloadable from the software platform of the course and usable off line as well, on moments of synchronous (e.g. chat) and asynchronous (e.g. forum) interaction with professors and tutors, on periodic tests proposed by professors (following a weekly agenda), on collaborative activities carried out in “virtual classes”, on tutoring activities (both for specific courses and of general type).
Final exams are given on site at the Leonardo Campus of the Politecnico di Milano.

The Master’s Degree in Computer Science Engineering, the natural follow-up of the Computer Science track of Bachelor Degree (plan I3I), has a dual purpose: excellent professional qualification and a more thorough cultural grounding, indispensable for playing an active and critical role in the evolution of computer technology and its applications. The Master’s Degree Programme in Computer Science and Engineering is offered at the Milan and Como campuses.
The Master’s Degree in Telecommunications Engineering, the natural follow-up of the Communications track of Bachelor Degree (plan I3C), provides advanced knowledge in network design and management, communication systems, signal processing and telecommunication technologies. The Master’s Degree Programme in Telecommunications is offered at the Milan campus.
Given the nature and purposes of the Specialised Degree Programmes, absence of educational deficits does not guarantee access; access will be granted after selection based on evaluation of students’ previous university careers and on assessment of the suitability of their individual qualifications (DM 28/11/00) and, if necessary, at the discretion of the Admissions Committee, by an admissions interview.
On the basis of this assessment, restrictions to the Master of Science study track and academic deficits may be established. Any candidates who prove to have deficits in their basic training with respect to the qualifications required for a second level Study Programme may be assigned compulsory courses to be attended within the normal study track totalling 120 credits), and educational deficits (courses additional to the normal study track). Further information on assessment can be found on the websites:
- Computer Science and Engineering: http://ccs-informatica.elet.polimi.it
- Telecommunication Engineering: http://commtech.dei.polimi.it
Please note that excess modules inserted in candidates’ study tracks for the Master of Science Programmes and subsequent awarding of the credits does not guarantee access to the Master of Science Programmes themselves.
