The PhD Course in Industrial and Information Engineering at the University of Udine offers four intensive technical courses. Each Module lasts three days and is organised in six sessions of approximately three hours each. The sessions are organised as demonstration-sessions, computer-sessions, lab-sessions and case-study-sessions.
Each module has a multidisciplinary layout that covers topics of interest for electric, mechanical, information technology, management and electronic engineering. Also, each module is taught by academics with backgrounds in these disciplines. The objective is to offer a broad spectrum of topics taught from different perspectives, which should widen the scientific background of the participating fellows and promote the so called “lateral thinking”.
All PhD fellows shall attend the courses. First year PhD Fellows shall attend Module 1 and 3 while second year PhD Fellows shall attend Module 2 and 4. Third year PhD fellows shall attend the courses that they had not attended in previous years. PhD Fellows have to gain no less than 20 CFUs in three years. The present Training Courses do provide CFUs. Please use the webpage on the PhD Notebook to register the CFUs associated to your training and teaching activities, and ask your tutor for the number of CFUs to be associated to each activity.
While these Scientific Skills Training Courses are tutorial lectures intended to provide a broad idea of the research topics developed in our Department and in particular by the members of the PhD board, starting from year 2021 our PhD programme also offers more specific courses, whose goal is to convey a more technical knowledge that students may employ for the development of their PhD project
