The specific course of the Post BA Vocational Program aims to train highly qualified professionals with a solid background in the on-track managment of racing cars. Course's students will gain specific expertise in vehicle tuning techniques, both virtually using CAE and experimentally through training on the track with Formula 4 and GT cars driven by professional drivers. The training course includes a absolutely innovative elements: alongside lectures, there will be test sessions on the Quattroruote ASC track and Skydrive simulation sessions at the Monza Circuit. During these hands-on sessions, participants will learn the techniques and methodologies that define all Race Engineering activities (from car management and radio communications to the psychological aspects of the relationship with the driver and the team). All participants will undertake a specifically designed advanced driving course to prepare them for subsequent on-track activities. Interaction with professional Race Engineers throughout the Race Engineering course will be crucial.
The course will also include targeted training on the following software: VI-Grade CarRealTime, MSC Adams, Cradle CFD, AIM Race Studio 3, Atlas, as well as specific training on the SkyDrive dynamic simulator at the Monza Autodrome.
Professionals trained through the Vocational Program's course can find employment in all racing departments and teams involved in motorsport championships in Europe and around the world. Notably, the expertise gained during the specific Race Engineering course is crucial for quickly and successfully fitting into a team. This professional engineering profile is in high demand on the job market, but it is not available through current academic education.
The following companies are involved in the Vocational Program, related to one or both courses, in various capacities: ASC, VI-grade, 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. Aviorace and Koni.
The current changing context of the Automotive/Motorsport sector requires companies/teams to rely on highly trained human resources, not only in terms of theory and methodology, but also in the most innovative design and experimentation techniques currently available. These techniques are the main area of specialisation of the Vocational Program courses.
