Master in Mechanical Engineering for Design and Manufacturing.

Mechanical Engineering for Design and Manufacturing is offered as a two-year master's degree, taught in English, at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in Napoli, Italy. This area of mechanical engineering centers on how mechanical components and systems are designed, produced, and brought to market, connecting engineering theory with the practical processes of manufacturing. Students typically study mechanical design, materials science, manufacturing processes, and machine tools, along with computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing methods used throughout industry. Coursework often addresses topics such as production planning, quality control, automation, and the mechanical properties of materials used in manufactured products. Project work is a common feature of this field, giving students experience designing components or systems and considering how those designs would be manufactured at scale. Because design and manufacturing sit close to industrial practice, students in this area often build skills that are directly applicable to product development and production engineering roles. Graduates commonly find work in manufacturing firms, automotive and industrial equipment companies, design and engineering consultancies, and research and development departments. Some pursue further graduate study or doctoral research in mechanical or manufacturing engineering. The programme is based in Napoli, a city with a long-standing industrial and academic tradition, and is part of Federico II's broader mechanical engineering offering. Taught fully in English, the degree is intended for both Italian and international students seeking graduate training that connects mechanical design principles with the realities of manufacturing, preparing them for roles that require both engineering judgment and production know-how.
