Master u Naprednom Pogonskom Sistemu (AAE)

The Curriculum in Advanced Powertrain (AP) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Advanced Automotive Engineering (AAE) and is designed for students pursuing careers as design and manufacturing engineers , experts in the development of high-performance powertrain systems .

This curriculum offers two different specializations , both targeted at students who aspire to a career as design and manufacturing engineers , experts in the development of high performance propulsion systems with a focus on internal combustion engines and hybrid propulsion systems.

• The first specialization , held at the Bologna campus , focuses on internal combustion engine and hybrid powertrain modeling and control, powertrain testing, calibration and homologation . The first semester of the first academic year is common to the other curricula of the Master in Advanced Automotive Engineering and is held 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).
• The second specialization , held at the Modena campus , focuses on the design and modeling of high-performance combustion systems, with particular emphasis on FEM and CFD calculations . it is held entirely at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus).

The Curriculum in Advanced Powertrain lasts two academic years and it provides the core competencies related to high-performance vehicle powertrain systems.

The number of places is limited to a maximum of 20 students for the Advanced Powertrain - Modena Campus and 20 students for the Advanced Powertrain - Bologna Campus, for a total of 40 places . 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.
