The Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering is a programme-based course; in order to be admitted, you must take part in the call for applications.

The study plan must include, in addition to compulsory training activities, training activities of the student's choice (12 CFU) and other activities (3 CFU), pursuant to Article 10, paragraph 5, letter d of DM270, for a total of 15 CFU, choosing them from those envisaged by the Course of Studies as optional.

Students who have not completed their study plan within the prescribed period are assigned a standard-statutory study plan which becomes their compulsory plan and which envisages the following courses for the acquisition of the 15 CFU as electives: Safety of Industrial Plants (6 CFU) and Electrical Machines and Drives (6 CFU), Advanced English (3 CFU).

This statutory plan is valid for both curricula, General and Materials.Useful information for students enrolled in courses according to DM270/04.

CURRICULUM 

The Mechanical Engineering degree course has established the obligation for all students to compile a study plan. The study plan must be submitted during the 3rd year of the course, roughly between October and November (dates to be confirmed each year).  
Compilation must normally be carried out via the Web on Esse3, at the address, 'Career Plan', and only in special cases on paper using the special form distributed at the Engineering Student Secretariat (Via Campi 213/b).

Please note that a student who has not completed his or her study plan within the prescribed period will be assigned a compulsory standard study plan that will become his or her actual plan.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION ON THE ONLINE 
COMPILATION The completion of the online
 plan provides two filling-in alternatives, which can be viewed once you have entered the personal area:

1. an 'outline plan'-APPR- whereby the completed plan is automatically approved: only the courses offered by the Mechanical Engineering degree course are offered in this pathway
2. a "plan outline" -PROP- which remains in a state of evaluation (it must be approved by the Degree Course Council) and which must only be chosen by: 

• students coming from a transfer/transfer from another Degree Course/Academic Institution who have had optional  examinations recognised and already approved by their own Degree Course Council and uploaded onto the electronic booklet. Only in the case in which the cfu of the passing/transfer resolution exceeds 18 cfu (the PROP plan foresees a 183 cfu closure), the compilation of the plan must be carried out by means of the special paper form available at the Student Secretariat in via Campi 213/b before the deadline during reception hours; - 
  students who have taken optional examinations in Erasmus that have already been approved by resolution of their Degree Course Council and uploaded onto the electronic booklet; 
• students who are sure to take part in the Formula Student project, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the teaching activity onto the booklet;
• students who wish to sit extra-xams in Mechanics, after having asked the Student secretariat to upload the teaching activities to their transcripts; it is advisable, if one intends to sit extra-xams, to obtain prior information from the President of the Degree Course, in order to avoid non-approval, which would lead, in the event that the extra-xams have already been taken, to NOT being able to consider them in one's career (since they will be considered supernumerary) and therefore requiring one to sit further exams.

Plans in PROP status will be evaluated by the Course Council following the deadline for plan compilation.

The student will be contacted if the plan is rejected for re-completion.

This document illustrates the final exam for students enrolled in courses under DM270/04 and describes the procedure to be followed in order to be admitted.

BSc in Mechanical Engineering

The final examination is a public oral test aimed at ascertaining the achievement of the specific educational objectives of the degree course. It may consist of:

• a) in the presentation and discussion of a report on the activity carried out during the traineeship - carried out under the supervision of a lecturer/researcher - in industries, companies or external bodies, on the basis of appropriate agreements;
• b) in the presentation and discussion of a report on the activity carried out - under the supervision of a lecturer/researcher - at research laboratories of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia or of other public or private research bodies, on the basis of specific agreements;
• c) in the presentation and discussion of a paper on topics related to subjects in the study plan, assigned by a lecturer/researcher.

Students, after having obtained no less than 140 CFU, agree with a lecturer/researcher on the subject of the Final Examination. This lecturer/researcher (known as the Final Examination Tutor) supervises the preparation of the Final Examination. 

The Examination Board assesses the Final Examination and, in the event of a passing grade, awards a full mark from 0 to 3 hundredths, taking into account the quality of the work carried out and the expository capacity demonstrated. The Examination Board transmits the score of the final test to the President of the SCC.

Tutoring, in compliance with the provisions of Article 13 of Law 341/90, is a service designed to assist students enrolled at university throughout their studies, removing obstacles to successful course attendance and encouraging active participation in university life.

The tutor is a point of reference to whom one can turn for advice, for help in getting into one's studies and for all forms of assistance aimed at making university studies more effective and productive.

The tutor teacher in particular can provide methodological and didactic support, aimed at overcoming learning difficulties (e.g. preparing for an exam, relating the contents of the various disciplines, clarifying doubts on study subjects) or can contact students in difficulty directly to propose support actions arranged by the University.

The reference teachers are:

• Bertolini Massimo, Bassoli Elena, Cantore Giuseppe, Giacopini Matteo, Vernia Cecilia.
