2. General presentation of the study programme
The BSc program in Industrial Production Engineering deals with all aspects of industrial production, a process which is analysed from the point of view of the complex systems management. The training covers therefore different topics including the basics of industrial product design, the management and optimisation of the production process, production technologies, logistics etc.
The Industrial Production Engineer is an engineer who sees industry as a complex system to be designed, organised and managed. He/she therefore has the necessary skills to dominate such a system from its initial design phase through to its management, in the meantime optimising its processes, technological cycles, systems, plants, logistics, and so on.
The Industrial Production Engineer has a broad culture and the ability, where necessary, to develop his/her knowledge and become an expert in a specific field, possessing the necessary methods and cultural tools to autonomously go into detail in any branch of industrial/management engineering. Furthermore, the Industrial Production Engineer is able to find in others the necessary specific skills, coordinating and planning the various activities of a team. He/she therefore has the ability to work in a team and thanks to his broad skills he can fruitful cooperate with experts of various branches.
The figure of the Industrial Production Engineer is akin to that of the Industrial Engineer, widespread in Europe since many years and even more in the United States, and undoubtedly successful.
3. Learning objectives
The BSc program in Industrial Production Engineering aims to provide an appropriate background, in scientific subjects including mathematics, calculus and physics, and a sound knowledge of the basics of mechanical engineering subjects (applied mechanics, mechanical design, materials etc.) and of management engineering (economy, enterprise management, ...).
The specific subjects for this program concern the design and management of industrial plants and all mechanical production technologies.
The Degree program in Industrial Production Engineering prepares an engineer able to carry out design and management tasks in manufacturing and process industries. The teaching track is designed to guarantee a solid scientific, economic and technical background allowing an easy acquisition of further knowledge which might become necessary in order to carry out the professional role.
The Industrial Production Engineer has to deal with product manufacturing processes, design and dimensioning of production means, of technologies and transformation plant and related services, as well as general operation and management of a production system. To do that he must also possess, in addition to specific skills, a solid background in micro-economics (in particular with regard to product and labor costs) and work organization, as well as in disciplines related to mechanical engineering.
The specific skills are those related to disciplines concerning industrial plant and manufacturing technologies and systems, that is the design and supervision of integrated production systems, industrial quality management, design of technological processes, design of production systems, general plant services, maintenance management, industrial technologies, ergo-technologies and issues of safety and the environment.
To those extents, three different learning objectives have been identified:
- understand the main fundamentals of engineering and their implementation in the different production technologies and processes;
- learn about the context variables, functions and fundamental processes in mechanical and industrial processes;
- design engineer and manage production models and systems through the lens of a scientific rigorous approach, in a business setting.
The course is characterized by a strong relationship with the entrepreneurial local environment.
4. Organization of the study programme and further studies
4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications
The Industrial Production Engineering Bachelor Degree lasts three years and is worth 180 ECTS credits. The first and second years are common for all students. The third year conversely differentiates according to the choice of programme (oriented to the preparation for a Masters Degree course or for the direct access to the job market). Two curricula are available for students oriented to access a Master degree course in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering or Management Engineering respectively. The first two years aim to provide students with a solid cultural background that brings together typical engineering knowledge with that of the industrial engineer. The third year, thanks to the possibility of choosing a number of courses, allows students to complete their framework of skills by creating different tracks based on individual student choices. The qualification at the end of the programme is that of an "Industrial Production Engineer".
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)
The Bachelor Degree qualification in Industrial Production Engineering gives access to the Master of Science, with the limitations established by law and by the regulations approved by each individual University.
In particular, this qualification permits access to Master of Science programmes in Management Engineering, Energy Engineering or in Mechanical Engineering at the Politecnico di Milano, which represent the natural progression of the Bachelor of Science. The Master of Science in Management Engineering aand the Master of Science in Energy Engineering are run by Politecnico di Milano on the Milan Bovisa campus (international class), whilst the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering is run by Politecnico di Milano on the Milan Bovisa and Lecco campuses (international classes).
Bachelor of Science students interested in more or less closely related Master of Science programmes are therefore invited to consult the corresponding Regulations in good time in order to avoid - by appropriately choosing their courses and/or including additional exams in their curriculum- any subsequent requests of curricular supplements to satisfy admission requirements.
5. Professional opportunities and work market
5.1 Professional status of the degree
The Industrial Production engineer owns the competencies needed to design, organise and manage an industrial system considered in its complexity. He/she owns then the appropriate skills needed to manage such a system in terms of product concept, design and management of the production system, process optimisation, management of technological processes, systems, plants, logistics. The Industrial Production is hence particularly well prepared and suited to be entrusted with design and management roles in manufactory and process industries

Any individual study track will be accepted under exceptional circumstances only for good reasons, subject to Educational System constraints.
Exceptions to this limitation are made for:
- students whose study tracks have actually become “individual” following changes made to the Programme Academic rules ;
-Bachelor Degree students who submit individual study tracks in order to participate in international exchange programmes.
Any examinations passed before enrolling in the Master of Science programme (M.Sc.)
During the Bachelor degree, students can, in the interests of future admission onto a Master of Science programme:
A1) earn ECTS credits by passing extra M.Sc. examinations, included in their personal study tracks and considered “advance” credits that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 credits needed to be awarded an M.Sc.
A2) acquire attendance status in M.sc. modules. As 1) but without passing the examination that, as a result of acquiring attendance status, can be taken in advance.
A3) Earn ECTS credits for track integrations established by an ad hoc Bachelor of Science admissions Board; these ECTS credits are “in addition” to the 120 needed to be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
In the period between awarding of the Bachelor Degree and enrolment on the M.Sc., in the interests of the latter, it is possible to:
B1) earn ECTS credits from successful M.Sc. examinations by enrolling on M.Sc. modules as individual modules. These are considered “advance” credits that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 credits needed to be awarded an M.Sc.
B2) acquire attendance status in M.Sc. modules As 1) but without passing the examination.
B3) Earn ECTS credits for track integrations established by an ad hoc Bachelor of Science admissions Board; these ECTS credits are “in addition” to the 120 needed to be awarded the Bachelor of Science.
The following limitations are to be taken into consideration:
1. the total number of ECTS credits (by passing examinations and/or by acquiring attendance status) that can be acknowledged as part of the 120 ECTS credits needed to be awarded the M.Sc. (A1+A2+B1+B2) is limited to 32. Thus any additional ECTS credits earned exceeding 32 will not be taken into account.
2. in any case the total amount of ECTS credits earned by passing “individual courses” cannot exceed 80, including ECTS credits earned under A3 +B3.
7.4 Foreign language
All regulations regarding testing foreign language skills can be found in "English knowledge Test" on the Guidance web site
7.5 Degree examination
The rules for the final exam are defined by the School regulation about final exams (“ Regolamento della prova finale di laurea”) which has been approved by the School board: http://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/fileadmin/files/pdf_scuola/regolamenti_lauree/RegolamentoProvaFinale.pdf
The Course Board approved on January 23rd 2014 the implementation rules http://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/uploads/media/Reg-Int_L-PRI.pdf
The final examination is worth 3 ECTS credits. The final examination score is not calculated as part of the average score but is used to increase the overall Bachelor degree score. The maximum increase is normally up to 7/110 which can be raised to 8/110 in case of 'excellence' recognised by a specifically constituted Board.
For students of the M.Sc. preparatory tracks, the final exam consists of the preparation, presentation and discussion of a report on a specific activity carried out autonomously by the student and assigned within one of the last year courses.
The final examination for students on the Professional preparation track is linked to the internship. It will consist of a critical report on the specific project to which the student has contributed during his internship that will be presented to the appointed board.
