The Vocational Program in (formerly named as "Design and Development of Vehicle Dynamics") is aimed at training highly qualified professionals, providing students with a solid preparation in the field of vehicle dynamics design so that they are able to work in all phases of vehicle setup and development, from dynamic simulation to the testing of prototypes right up until the realization of the pre-series vehicle. Specific competence will be acquired by the students in different techniques of vehicle testing, both virtually, by means of CAE systems, in particular using driving simulators and experimentally by working directly on a vehicle (on the test circuit and on the road). An absolutely innovative element of the training course, alongside the lectures, are testing sessions on the circuit of ASC (Automotive Safety Centre) – Quattroruote, during which the participants will be personally involved in learning the techniques and methodologies that are used in the testing, control and fine tuning of the dynamic behaviour of vehicles. For all participants, a specially designed advanced driving course is planned and specifically oriented to the design and evaluation of vehicle behaviour, which will be the focus of the teaching modules on testing at track and with the simulator.

The Vocational Program is supplemented by targeted training to the use of a specific software like CarRealTime (VI-Grade compact static simulator), MSC Adams, CFD simulator, a special module of training on static simulator and a working session on dynamic simulator at the VI-Grade centre of Tavagnacco (UD) or at the Danisi Engineering company of Nichelino (TO), partner companies of the program.

Qualified postgraduates of the Vocational Program can find employment with all those industrial groups, which, in various capacities, operate in the field of design, development and the production of vehicles and more generally in the automotive sector. In particular, the skills acquired during the course are of fundamental importance in the design, testing and development phases of the dynamic behaviour of new vehicles.

This role of the professional design test engineer, urgently required by the market, is not available on the current panorama of academic training and is sought after both by mature markets like that of Italy and by markets that are just emerging from the point of view of the automotive industry. In addition, the Vocational Program, in what is a world first, contributes towards the training of a completely new professional position, which can be defined as a "Certified" CAE Driving Simulator Engineer, reserved for those students involved in internship activities who are specifically oriented towards in-depth training and the development of projects using the simulator.

Affiliated with the programme are firms such as ASC, VI-grade, CSI, McLaren, Pirelli, CD Adapco/Siemens, Seat, Thyssen Presta, AudiSport, ZF-TRW, Ycom, Brembo, Lamborghini, Continental, Prema, Trident, ADM Motorsport, Team Lazarus, JAS Motorsport, Tatuus, Autotecnica Motori, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, Magneti Marelli, FCA, Abarth, Michigan Scientific, Michelin, Oreste Berta, PCB, Kistler, Danisi Engineering, Skydrive, Harp Racing, Corbetta Racing, PetriCorse, Imperiale Racing, Leomax, Porsche NTC, Leane.

The current context of deep evolution in the Automotive and Motorsport sector can find a way to relaunch also thanks to the acquisition of highly trained human resources from not only a theoretical and methodological point of view but also on the most innovative design techniques and experimentation currently available and which constitute the main area of specialization of the Vocational Program.
