Engineering of Complex Systems
The Doctoral Degree in Engineering of Complex Systems at the Department of Engineering for Innovation at the University of Salento, aims to prepare talented students for scientific and technological research in a multi-disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspective. The Ph.D. course aims to develop the necessary capabilities for a deep interaction among diverse technical backgrounds, ranging from chemical engineering, computer engineering, mechanical engineering, energy engineering, management engineering, and so on. The Doctoral Program offers a stimulating and modern Ph.D. program for a comprehensive education in the different fields of Industrial and Information Engineering, both about foundational and applied courses. The Doctoral Program extends and complements the one offered by the Ph.D. School of the University of Salento, which is focused on improving foreign language skills, intellectual property, and fund raising, thanks to specific seminars and workshops. Ph.D. students can also access the transversal training offered by the University of Salento about soft skills, like public speaking, problem-solving, leadership, and time management. Ph.D. students attending the course of Engineering of Complex Systems can also access more than 30 research labs available at the Department of Engineering for Innovation, a rich virtual and physical library, and a wide national and international network of enterprises, universities, and research centers. Therefore, our Ph.D. students are challenged in different technical frameworks (basic research, design, and production) and several application domains. Graduated students in Engineering of Complex Systems have the chance to find working positions both in University and public and private research centers. The acquired skills in fundraising can also stimulate the start-up of university spin-offs. The experience gained in the three years course facing interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary topics, related to the design, analysis, development simulation, and management of complex systems allows them to be appreciated at national and international levels. For 4 Ph.D. cycles, the course of Engineering of Complex Systems has graduated about 40 students: 50% of them have been employed in SMEs, most of them in spin-offs and start-up, founded by themselves. The others have been employed in research centers both in Italy and abroad. In 2021 six of our graduated students have been employed as junior researchers and one as a senior researcher at the University of Salento.
