Management Engineering

Objectives

The management engineer who completes their studies in the field of information engineering has a basic education that integrates physical-mathematical knowledge common to all engineering degrees and the fundamental contents of the disciplines that qualify the information sector (computer science, automation, electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications) with an understanding of the essential elements of economic and organizational analysis and decision-making techniques. On this basis, distinctive competencies are developed on the methods, models, and tools of intervention in the management of complex systems. In particular, the management engineer trained by Sapienza University of Rome is able to effectively use information technologies and apply economic analysis, management, and operational research methodologies to solve problems of organization and operational management of production systems. The degree course is also designed to provide the management engineer with a solid multidisciplinary preparation that can be extended and deepened in the direction of different areas of specialization within the master's degree course, which for many years has been the main outlet for three-year graduates.

Description of the Educational Path

The educational objectives of the degree course are achieved through the use of a study path with a strong unitary imprint, characterized by four main thematic areas:

• physical-mathematical area, common to all engineering degrees, in which fundamental knowledge is acquired and the methodological aspects of mathematics and other basic sciences are understood;
• technological area, which transmits the primary contents of the subjects that qualify the information sector (computer science, automation, electronics, electrical engineering, telecommunications) and the essential contents of management mechanics, in order to allow a full understanding of the opportunities offered by the use of information and communication technologies in production companies and in the public administration;
• area of quantitative methodologies for analysis and decision-making, in which knowledge of mathematical modeling and operational research and optimization techniques is deepened, which allow for the formulation and proposal of efficient design, planning, control, and management choices of processes in organizations;
• economic-management area, in which the essential tools are acquired to understand the nature and purposes of the most important business functions (such as production, logistics, marketing, procurement, finance), the techniques for evaluating company performance, the different organizational structures of companies, the problems of coordination within organizations, as well as the main economic concepts (scarcity, prices, markets, competition). The educational path includes an initial phase of the curriculum reserved for the physical-mathematical area and an intermediate and final phase in which the contents of the subjects that qualify the information sector are combined with the teachings of the economic-management area, quantitative methodologies for analysis and decision-making, and management mechanics.
