The role of Automation Engineers is to design, create, develop and manage equipments aimed at eliminating direct human intervention, as far as possible, in the operation of machinery, processes, plants and networks distributing goods or providing services. All these activities require creativeness and experience in solving integration problems deriving from the combination of traditional engineering technologies (mechanics and electrical machinery) with information technologies (automation, electronics, computer science, telecommunications). Increasingly complex automation systems are common in all industrial and tertiary sectors and are used both for making equipment and productive processes automatic and for improving the quality and technological content of products. The presence of different technologies in typical automation engineering products and applications explains the highly interdisciplinary nature of the programme.
LANGUAGE: Italian
Ground, sea, air, and space vehicles; robotic systems; energy production, transmission, and management systems; automated systems in agriculture; systems for managing complex industrial processes; automated biomedical systems and devices; single machines and entire automated production systems are just a few examples of technologies in which automation engineering plays a key role. Automation engineers find employment in all these areas: not only in industries that produce automation devices and systems, but also in all companies and sectors where automation play significant technological and economic roles. The automation market now concerns all areas of the primary, secondary and tertiary sectors: automatic machines, robots and mechatronic systems; process industry; transport and work machinery sectors; consumer goods production; public utility networks; plants and systems for the production and distribution of energy from renewable sources; home automation. Graduates in Automation Engineering, upon passing the State Examination, can register with the Order of Engineers, with the title of Junior Engineer

Admission Requirements
proficiency in the Italian language, prior to enrolment.
You can fulfil the language requirement, if you:
are a citizen of either Italy or the Republic of San Marino or the Swiss Canton of Ticino; the information will be verified through the document of identification you uploaded to Online Services; or have a qualification, at least upper secondary school level, obtained in Italian; the Politecnico will verify the information with the school that awarded you the degree; or have an appropriate B2 level certification of proficiency in the Italian language issued by the CLIQ (Certificazione Lingua Italiana di Qualità). In this case, please upload the certification you have in the test registration and enrolment application. Proficiency in English is not an entry requirement, but it is necessary to continue and complete your Laurea (equivalent to Bachelor of Science) programme. If you do not provide evidence of proficiency in English, you will be assigned the OFA ENG (additional educational obligations for English), which entails certain career limitations.
Engineering students: they sit the TENG at the same sitting as the Test on Line (TOL) admission test.
