Introduction
The Curriculum in Advanced Sportscar Manufacturing (ASM) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE) and is designed for students who want to pursue a career as production engineers, experts in the development and management of automotive production processes and related supply chains, with a specific focus on advanced manufacturing and assembly systems and enabling technologies for digital factories, such as industrial robotics and big data analytics.
The Curriculum lasts two academic years and covers topics such as process engineering, the design of industrial plant and systems, production management and optimization, digital technologies for factory 4.0, and quality assurance process management.
The number of places is limited to a maximum of 17 students. Admissions are based on merit and interviews evaluating motivations and skills. All classes are taught in English.
The first semester of the first academic year is common to the other curricula of the Master in Advanced Automotive Engineering and takes place at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus). Starting from the second semester of the first academic year, all courses will be held at the Department of Industrial Engineering (Bologna Campus).
Muner's international faculty consists of highly experienced lecturers and professionals. The contents of the courses have been defined together with the contribution of the partner companies to ensure that the training is in line with the current requirements of the labor market.
The program requires students to participate in numerous laboratory activities, either on campus or at the premises of industrial partners, in line with a "learning by doing" approach. It also includes mandatory internships in private companies and lab-based thesis preparation activities, which are conducted using a "project work" approach.

Career Opportunities
The curriculum has been designed in close collaboration with companies operating in the automotive sector, in order to allow the seamless insertion of graduates in high-level positions in the research, development and manufacturing environments focused on vehicles and their technologies.
Since companies require highly qualified engineers with specialized skills, the Master's program requires students to complete mandatory internships in private companies, as well as laboratory-based thesis preparation activities that follow a "project work" approach. Students also attend seminars with industry and international speakers, factory visits and alumni talks throughout the year.
The Advanced Automotive Engineer expert in production activities will be responsible for training engineers and teaching them how to plan, develop, control, and manage production systems in the automotive sector.
Through courses such as process engineering, industrial systems design, production management and optimization, automation technologies and solutions, Factory 4.0 digital technologies, and quality control process management, he/she will be able to develop the most advanced sports car production systems.
