Master in Autonomes Fahren (EEIV)

The curriculum in Autonomous Driving Engineering (ADE) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles (EEIV) .

The specific goal of the ADE curriculum is to provide future engineers with a solid knowledge of the methods and tools used in the development of intelligent transportation systems . In particular, this includes knowledge of software and electronic systems widely used in intelligent vehicles for : sensing the environment , processing sensor data , planning driving actions and manoeuvres , and driving a vehicle .

The ADE curriculum has a duration of two academic years . During the first year courses are offered to strengthen students’ background knowledge on topics such as “embedded” and “real-time” electronic systems, automotive sensors, automatic control, vehicular radio communications, machine vision and deep learning.

The second year complements and specializes the first year, introducing students to electronic technologies and devices for automotive systems and offering various electives on advanced driver assistance systems, vehicle path planning and control, sensors for perception, simulation environments and HMI, and machine learning for autonomous driving.

The first academic year is located at the Department of Electrical, Electronic, and Information Engineering Guglielmo Marconi (Bologna Campus) , while the second academic year is located at the Department of Engineering and Architecture (Parma Campus) .

The number of places is limited to a maximum of 25 students . Admission is based on merit and interviews to assess motivation and skills. All classes are taught in English .

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.

MUNER is a university specializing in the automotive sector. It offers a variety of master's degree programs in mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering. Its educational approach is characterized by learning by doing. MUNER is not a traditional university, but the result of the synergy between four historic universities and the world's 18 leading automotive companies, including the most prestigious in Motor Valley, where MUNER is rooted.

What is MUNER?

MUNER – Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna – is a campus as big as a region, that has its roots in the Motor Valley: the land of legends and cutting-edge technology, where the history of the two and four wheels was written.

MUNER is now delivering 3 high-level Master’s Degrees (Advanced Automotive Engineering, Electric Vehicle Engineering, and Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles), serving over 700 students since its foundation in 2017 . More than 90% of MUNER graduates find employment right after earning their degree - about half of which are within our partner companies.

Here is where the most famous automotive Companies in the world put their know-how and the most innovative technologies at the service of students who want to become the new professionals in the automotive field and are willing to design road and racing vehicles, more sustainable propulsion systems and the subsystems for intelligent functions and production facilities in the pursuit of Industry 4.0.

ART – Advanced Solution, AVL, Bosch, CNH, Automobili Lamborghini, Danisi Engineering, Dallara, Ducati, Ferrari, HaasF1Team, HPE COXA, Marelli, Maserati, Pagani, Pirelli, Scuderia AlphaTauri, STMicroelectronics – and the main Universities of Emilia Romagna – Bologna, Modena e Reggio Emilia, Ferrara, Parma – merged together to design the 8 Automotive Engineering Careers of the future.

The Automotive Engineering Careers that drive you into the Future.

MUNER – The Motorvehicle University of Emilia Romagna benefits from the Emilia-Romagna Regional Operational Programme FESR 2014/2020, the planning document that defines the strategy and operations of use of Community funds allocated to the Region by the European Regional Development Fund, in the framework of the cohesion policy, in furtherance of the economic growth and attractiveness of the regional territory.

The Emilia-Romagna Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) focus also on mechanics and engine engineering among other productive areas of the Region. The Muner, as part of this specific environment, collaborates with the Region in the definition of the plans of activities for the achievement of S3 objectives. Thanks to the funds for the development of the Smart Specialization Strategy, MUNER aims at reinforcing the regional research and innovation system and facilitates the interaction between laboratories and enterprises.
