What is the objective of the course? What is it?
What does it train you for?

The Bachelor’s Degree in Automation and Systems Engineering focuses on studying dynamic systems capable of self-regulation and the control mechanisms that enable this capability.

The program trains engineers to design and manage complex automatic systems, conceived as networks of interconnected elements.

It emphasizes the application of modern information technologies in emerging areas of automation, with a focus on mechatronic systems and technologies related to the Internet, Cloud, and global communication.

What can you do with it?

Graduates have numerous career opportunities as freelancers or within companies, public administrations, and private organizations across all sectors of production and services where information technologies and automation principles play a key role.

Examples of systems and application areas where Automation and Systems Engineers can work include:

  • Autonomous vehicles - Sensor networks and the Internet of Things - Distributed monitoring and control systems - Automation of distribution and service delivery systems - Assistive technologies - Robotic systems - Cloud technologies For those interested in continuing their academic path, the natural progression is the Master’s Degree in Automation and Systems Engineering.
Graduates with a Master's Degree in these fields find employment very quickly.

In Italy, 91 out of 100 graduates are employed within one year.

The situation is even better for graduates from the University of Palermo, where 100% of graduates find a job within a year, with entry-level salaries higher than the national average for engineering (source: AlmaLaurea official data).
