The Post BA Vocational Program aims to train highly qualified professionals with a solid preparation in managing racing cars. Specific competence will be gained by the students in the techniques for car set up in a virtual environment through CAE, as well as through dedicated experimental testing sessions on the track, during the entire duration of the program, with a Formula 4 car driven by professional drivers. The learning environment is highly innovative and includes classroom lessons along with test sessions on the ASC’s proving ground of Quattroruote and the Skydrive simulation sessions at the Monza Circuit, during which students will have hands-on learning of the techniques and methodologies of Race Engineering activities (from race car management to radio communications to the psychological aspects involving the relationship between the driver and the team). All participants will follow an introductory course in advanced driving techniques specifically designed for the program. Another unique and fundamental feature of the Race Engineering Vocational Program is the long lasting interaction with professional Race Engineers for the entire length of the program.

The training program ends with targeted training on specific software like CarRealTime (VI-Grade compact static simulator), MSC Adams, Cradle CFD software, AIM Race Studio 3, Atlas and with a specific training module on the SkyDrive dynamic simulator at the Monza Circuit.

Career opportunities for graduates involve racing teams and engineering companies active in motorsport competitions in Europe and the world. More specifically, the competencies acquired from the Vocational Program represent a key factor in permitting students to become part of a racing team quickly and successfully. At present, this type of engineering professional, strongly requested by the market, is not associated with any specific academic program.

Affiliated with the programme are firms such as 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, 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.
