2. General presentation of the study programme

Energy engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, planning and management of systems and processes where energy is produced, transformed or used, in order to ensure the best use of the resources available with the minimum environmental impact. Energy systems are, for example, a large thermal power station, a photovoltaic panel, an air-conditioning and climate control equipment for residences and offices, a vehicle engine, airplane propellers, a fuel cell or simply a battery. On a larger scale, a neighborhood, a city, a nation or a continent are similarly examples of complex energy systems whose planning over time turns out to be a topical issue today.

The subject of energy production and efficiency and subsequent impact on the environment is a key issue in a developed society today. It is also essential for the economy developing and third-world countries. The focus is on continuous technological advances and changes in energy scenarios related to the evolution of society and the increasingly complex global geopolitical situations that affect relations between countries and the supply of raw materials. Therefore, energy issues are at the forefront of scientific, technical and economic development, certainly destined to be maintained over time. On an international level, Italy’s position is especially delicate, considering its heavy dependence on foreign countries for energy supplies. This requires “energy technology specialist” who are prepared to use the instruments emerging from continuous scientific and technological advances, thus promoting an increased know-how in the industry. This makes way for a rational development of energy and industrial policies, increasing prosperity for people and society while respecting the environment.
 

The M.Sc. in Energy Engineering’s target is to educate new professionals who are able to face the challenges related to this branch of engineering, such as: thermodynamic conversion of various forms of energy, environmental consequences of energy generation, air conditioning and indoor wellbeing, and many others.  These difficulties are addressed thanks to a thorough knowledge in the technological and utilization issues of the systems and the components used, and thanks to the energy and economic modelling methodologies learned throughout the study programme. An Energy Engineer is therefore a skilled professional, whose key strength lies in the analysis and synthesis skills, that allow him/her to have an overall view of the production, transportation and utilization of energy, together with its economic and environmental implications.


3. Learning objectives

Energy issues have taken fundamental importance for sustainable development of humanity and must therefore play a significant role in the technical and engineering culture. Conventional energy resources are now joined by sources of renewable energy and innovative technologies with minimal environmental impact, whose development requires adequate availability of prepared specialists, have recently been added alongside conventional energy resources. In the Laurea Magistrale, equivalent of the Master of Science, it is necessary to complete and increase the technical knowledge acquired during the B.Sc. (with a solid background in basic and industrial engineering subjects and, in particular, in applied thermodynamics, thermal machinery and energy systems) with further and more detailed general notions and, above all, with an approach focused on the more complex and advanced applications and on research and development.

It will therefore be necessary to address specific issues (some examples are: abatement of combustion pollutants and mitigation of greenhouse effects, advanced thermodynamic cycles for energy conversion, the most sophisticated design methodologies in climate and environmental control, solution of complex design problems regarding heat and mass transfer devices and thermal machines, energy modeling applied to systems at different spatial scales) for which are necessary both a more rigorous methodological analysis of sciences based on thermodynamics and an ample opening towards related inter-disciplinary issues, such as chemical engineering, management and economic methodologies and more.
 

Thus, the aim of the Master of Science in Energy Engineering is to prepare technicians who are able to use the main technologies concerning energy generation and utilization, and who can actively follow technological advances and operate effectively in a competitive industrial and institutional environment, characterized by significant environmental, regulatory and safety issues.

Expected results, expressed in European qualification Descriptors, are:

  • Knowledge and understanding. The Master of Science-graduated student in Energy Engineering has acquired detailed knowledge of significant principles and methodologies not only in subjects pertinent to energy (heat tranfer, energy systems, air-conditioning systems, environmental impact, renewable energy sources) but also in inter-sectorial courses in the industrial area (electrics, mechanics, chemistry, economics). The Master of Science-graduated will therefore be able to interpret, analyse, model and solve complex problems concerning design, operations and application of energy processes, machines and plants. He/she also possesses sufficient knowledge to be able to offer significant and original contributions to the development of advanced technologies, operating in the area of scientific and technological research too.

  • Applying knowledge and understanding. The Master of Science in Energy Engineering- graduated student is able to apply the acquired knowledge to the analysis of energy production and management processes in its various forms (electricity, heat, cold), including those most complex and advanced. He/she must precisely evaluate performance in terms of energy efficiency and environmental impact, keeping in mind the economic aspects. He/she is able to identify among the technically feasible solutions and various strategies that permit significant savings in the use of primary energy (in particular from fossil sources) and minimal environmental impact, using the best methodologies in terms of analysis, calculation, design, etc. These abilities are developed in the project activity of the various courses, especially during the second year. They will find their most complete application in the thesis in which the student must demonstrate not only to have acquired the necessary cultural knowledge but also to have developed a critical mind and an ability to act, applied to broad-ranging issues with complex contents and with an original contribution.

  • Making judgements. The teaching methods enable the graduate to autonomously choose (and therefore apply) appropriate analytical and modelling methods in order to develop projects satisfying specific requisites.

  • Communication skills. The Master of Science-graduated student is able to interpret and draft technical reports concerning the completed projects, to consult and possibly formulate technical norms and manuals. He/she is able to present the results of his/her work with IT tools, as learnt for presentation of the final graduation exam and during several courses of the Degree Programme. In such occasions (which the programme aims to increase and incentivize), as in developing the degree thesis, the graduate will have the opportunity to work in groups with other students, developing the abilities required to successfully be part of a team and coordinate group activities.

  • Learning skills. The Master of Science Degree Programme is designed to prepare a high- level technician for the worldwide employment, whilst not neglecting the possibility of continuing studies with PhD or possibly further Masters. The graduate must continuously update him/herself in the application sector, as learnt during his/her training, with documents and research carried out autonomously, in particular for the thesis.

4. Organization of the study programme and further studies

4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications

The Study Programme in Energy Engineering consists of a Bachelor of Science lasting three years, followed by a Master of Science lasting a further two years and the possibility of a Research Ph.D. (Figure 1). Bachelor of Science graduates having followed the preparatory study track (EN1) are admitted to the Master of Science in Energy Engineering without debts (curricular supplements). Other graduates will be subject to an admission verification which will also state any educational debts which must be acquired before admission (see paragraphs 6.1 and 6.2).

After the Master of Science, graduates can apply to the Research Ph.D. in Energy and Nuclear Sciences and Technologies, which aims to give engineers an extremely in-depth, high scientific level education in order to prepare them to fill positions of high responsibility in companies active in the research and development fields. The Research Ph.D. is based on the experience of the previous Ph.D. in Energetics and Ph.D. in Nuclear Sciences, which have been a cornerstone of the University teaching history for 25 years. Admission is run by public notice, on a yearly basis.


5. Professional opportunities and work market

5.1 Professional status of the degree

The Master of Science in Energy Engineering-graduated student is a technician with a high level of education able to address all issues, even the most innovative, for the design and operation of plants for the production, distribution and use of energy, as well as of civil and industrial HVAC systems, and of their components. He/she is also able to carry out the role of energy manager in companies and bodies in which such role is required. Graduates can take the Professional Exam to qualify for enrolment in Section A of the Professional Order of Industrial Engineers.

5.2 Careers options and profiles

There are many opportunities in the job market for energy engineers: production, distribution and correct use of energy are essential fields, albeit largely problematic, of our time. The energy industry is undergoing great changes (the liberalization of markets, increased competition, decentralization, increased awareness of environmental impact issues, and the reduction in the emission of greenhouse gases) that require an increasing number of skilled technicians. There are many companies working in the energy field with a high concentration in Lombardy and Milan areas (from the large-scale boards involved in the production, transport and distribution of power, to the many companies, even small to medium-sized ones, that operate in the fields of industrial and civil plants, air-conditioning systems and system components). The professional opportunities for a Master of Science graduated engineer are:

  • in the energy management field, in industry and in companies and public boards that supply energy; in reference to this, Italian legislation (law 10/91) has made it obligatoryfor companies with significant energy consumption to have a “technician who is responsible for the conservation and efficient use of energy” (an energymanager);
  • in public institutions or international organizations and in the sustainability offices of private and consultancy companies where a specialized technician and energy analyst is needed in order to define strategies, energy scenarios and technological plans.
  • in activities surrounding design, testing, use and maintenance of energy plants, for example heating and air-conditioning systems, food preservation systems, small and medium-sized plants that produce, distribute and use energy;
  • in the design and planning of heating and cooling systems in buildings and in their construction phase;
  • in industries producing and marketing equipment and components such as boilers, air- conditioning units, refrigerators, engines, heat exchangers, gas or steam powered compressors and turbines;
  • in energy companies operating in the fields of thermal power, hydro-electric power, engines, oil and natural gas fields, or in the production or distribution sectors.

Master of Science graduates have access to research and development activities as well as those related to feasibility study and design of more specialist and demanding applications (large-scale plant, innovative processes, development of technologically advanced machinery and components). The more extensive and flexible preparation provided by the Master of Science programme will also open up employment possibilities in other sectors linked to the energy industry.

5.3 Qualification profile

Guidance Site: https://www.polimi.it/en/international-prospective-students 


7. Contents of the study Program

7.1 Programme requirements

To graduate 120 credits are required. Activities necessary to acquire these credits are detailed in this Teaching Regulations: they deal with the most advanced and innovative issues in the energy industry, after a necessary exploration of educational aspects in related disciplines. The degree thesis is an integral part of the programme in which the graduation candidate autonomously explores in depth an energy-related issue with the most innovative and R&D-oriented methodologies possible.


According to Law No. 33 of April 12, 2022, simultaneous enrollment in two programs is allowed. Enrollment in two programs is possible only if they are of different degree classes (classi di laurea) and differ in at least two-thirds of their educational activities regarding academic credits. 

Consistent with what is defined by Law No. 33, at the student's instance, the maximum number of CFUs already taken in the other program and validatable is 40 CFUs for MSc programmes.

Please note that courses belonging to programs of a different level or type from the program you are enrolled in cannot be validated.

Full details on when to apply for validation and the administrative fees to be paid are available on the Polimi website: https://www.polimi.it/contemporanea-iscrizione

7.2 Mode of study

Attendance is not compulsory but is highly recommended: it is in fact very important in facilitating learning and in acquiring the essential critical abilities. Programme courses are delivered with conventional methods (lectures, exercises, IT, experimental and design laboratories), but with teaching methods appropriate for achieving the educational objectives defined by theDublin descriptors (see paragraph 2).

7.3 Detailed learning objectives

The educational offer of the Master of Science in the 270/04 system is developed according to six study tracks organized in six previously approved programme tracks (referred to the Italian acronym PSPA).

  • EEG - Green Power Systems. This programme aims at providing advanced training in the production of clean power from traditional or renewable sources and the efficient use of energy through both standard and innovative technologies.
    Since renewable sources have an intermittent and irregular nature, the possibility of storing energy efficiently is a key factor for their full use; this drives the search for innovative storage systems and alternative energy vectors. Finally, attention is also given to the integration of new technologies in the current power production and transport system.
  • EEP - Power Generation. This programme tracks is offered in English. It is aimed at preparing a professional figure with a broad range of cross-discipline skills required to operuate in the production of various forms of energy by thermodynamic conversion. The reference scenario includes industrial applications, electricity power stations, production processes with a high concentration of power but also distributed power generation, civil and industrial co-generation and renewable energy sources. These are engineering sectors in which problems of an industrial nature are flanked by those related to environmental protection (an issue given great attention in the proposed curriculum) in a competitive and continuously changing  economic context (free gas and electricity market).
  • EIT - Energy Use and Built Environment. This programme  track, offered in Italian (but near all subjects can be substituted by the corresponding ones offered in English, by selecting them in the autonomous mode), prepares specialists for design, implementation and management of Heating, Ventilating and Air Cnditioning (HVAC) plants used in civil and industrial applications (air-conditioning, cooling, etc.). Amongst others, it prepares the student in heat exchange applications in industrial components and processes, in renewable energy technologies for HVAC uses, in ventilation and environmental contamination techniques and in energy and environmental planning and control. 
  • EEH - Oil and Gas Engineering. This programme track, offered in English, is aimed at preparing professional figures able to operate in the “oil and gas” industry with a general overview of the various sectors: “upstream” (resources, reserves, perforation), “midstream” (well-head rigging, transport), “downstream” (refining, end products), based on the general skills of an energy engineer. Given the natural propensity of this sector to operate in an international context, within this track, scholarships will be activated with access through competition to support successful candidates in a period of study abroad at universities with a recognised value in the “oil and gas” sector, to be carried out in the second year. The number and amount of scholarships will be defined and assigned during the first year. In particular, in the case of stipulation of a specific agreement with the ENI Group, via ENI Corporate University, successful scholarship candidates, in addition to periods abroad, can take the opportunity of paid internships at industrial sites of the ENI group, also with the objective of preparing the graduation thesis. Rules and requisites for admission to the scholarship competition (financed by ENI, by other companies in the sector and internally) will be published in time on the school Website. Unsuccessful scholarship candidates  may in any case finish their career without a period of study abroad.
  • EES Energy for the Development. This curriculum aims to train a professional figure with a wide range of specialized and comprehensive technical-scientific knowledge and transversal skills in order to operate in the energy sector from a multiscale perspective, ranging from the development of appropriate technologies to energy  scenario analyses, with a view on the the technical-economic and environmental sustainability of energy systems in different geographical contexts.  Energy is inextricably linked to development, as highlighted in the UN 2030 Agenda, and an ever-growing number of engineers are needed to work for innovation and sustainability in the energy sector with expertise and creativity. For these reasons, this "recommended plan" has been created, combining the engineering fundamentals required to deal with the technological problems of the sector with the modelling tools needed to carry out energy planning at national level or for decentralised areas, to understand and develop evolutionary scenarios of the energy sector at national or international level and to understand the socio-economic and environmental impact of the various solutions in a complete life cycle perspective. In order to foster international experience, internship opportunities for the development of dissertations with NGOs, civil society actors, national institutions, international bodies, foreign universities and research centres are offered.
  • EEE - Renewables and Environmental Sustainability. This programme track, offered in English on the Piacenza Campus only, aims at preparing a professional figure having a a mix of design, operational and management skills, with particular emphasis on system and process engineering related to the production of basic energy carriers (electricity, heat and fuels) under tight environmental constraints. Students will learn how to evaluate and solve engineering issues (thermal, environmental, mechanical, chemical, electrical) raised by energy conversion systems, as well as analyze and assess operational and maintenance issues. Particular attention will be devoted to renewable energy sources, non-conventional energy technologies, emission control, electric systems with distributed power generation. Further information concerning contents, grants, admission periods and procedures and the number of positions available is published on the School website.
  • WND - Wind Energy - Joint with Mechanical Engineering. Wind energy is already a leading source of clean power and represents a solid response to the growing global demand for energy services. Its steady progress in the energy market has been driven by years of technological development and scientific breakthroughs, and the wind industry is expected to employ several hundred thousand people over the next few decades. POLIMI is active in research and has strong collaborations with industries in this sector. The Wind Energy track provides students with fundamental tools needed to make power from wind. Lessons held by researchers and operators in the sector will develop dedicated knowledge in the main disciplines involved in wind energy: aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, materials, control systems, electric conversion, operation, and maintenance.

Honours Programme in Industrial Engineering - Energy


This programme falls within the strategy for high level training of Politecnico di Milano. It is intended for students with high predisposition to studies and research and aims at improving the students’ skills in order to train engineers devoted to science and technological research. The programme is structured through the ordinary Course in Energy Engineering and gives the opportunity of deepening some subjects from the point of view of both methodology and contents, under the supervision of a reference professor. For this purpose the programme foresees additional training activities in several disciplines and within the MSc Thesis for a total of 20 additional credits, including those listed in the Honours table and others within a broad choice among LM courses, guided by the interest of the student and in accordance with the reference professor. The title of the programme will be officially reported in the transcript of records together with the description of the conducted activities.

The access requirements and the modalities of attendance are described at https://www.ccs-energetica.polimi.it/it/honours-programme/

The maximum number of students who will be admitted to the Honours programme is ten (10).


Professional profile in Green Technologies and Smart Infrastructures


Politecnico di Milano aims at strengthening the skills related to Green Technologies and Smart Infrastructures in the Master of Science degree programmes, with the following goals:

  • To create new professional profiles in Green Technologies: MSc graduates with forefront systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, and specific aptitude to innovation in the fields of environmental sustainability and decarbonisation of the economy. The profile in Green Technologies corresponds to a professional figure with both advanced, specialized skills in the green sector, and transversal skills, which allow graduates to broaden their knowledge in the field of Green Technologies and to adopt a systemic approach to the design, management, innovation, and study of the life-cycle of green technologies.
  • To create new professional profiles in Smart Infrastructures: MSc graduates with forefront systemic skills, interdisciplinary vision, and specific aptitude to innovation in the fields of smart infrastructures. The profile in Smart Infrastructures corresponds to a professional figure with both advanced, specialized skills in relevant applications (infrastructures) and/or enabling technologies (smart), as well as transversal skills, which allow students to broaden their knowledge in the field of Smart Infrastructures and to adopt a systemic approach to design, management, innovation, and study of life-cycle of infrastructures.

 

The training programme is articulated within the MSc educational path, and sets at 130 credits (thus at least extra 10 credits in addition to the standard MSc requirements) the minimum number of credits needed to complete the selected MSc and, at the same time, to qualify for the certification in Green Technologies/Smart Infrastructures.

As part of the educational training, students must acquire at least 30 credits in courses related to the Green Technologies/Smart Infrastructures profile, which have to be chosen among those proposed in the degree programme or among additional courses, as detailed in the specific information.

To obtain recognition of a course for the Ambassador qualification, at least one of the following conditions must be met:

  • The course selected from Table A or B must be listed in the Manifesto of the Academic Year of application.
  • The course selected from Table A or B must be present in the tables for the same Academic Year of attendance (i.e., in the study plan for the course). However, i
