The Department of Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences (DIISM) was established in July 2011 following the merger of the former Departments of Mechanics, Energetics, and Mathematical Sciences.
As of late 2025, DIISM consists of 60 faculty members, approximately 150 researchers (PhD students and research fellows), and 27 technical and administrative staff members.
The Department coordinates the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programs in Mechanical Engineering, as well as the inter-university programs (in collaboration with the University of Urbino): the Bachelor’s in Engineering for Industrial Sustainability and the Master’s in Green Industrial Engineering (taught in English). Furthermore, the Department participates in the coordination of the Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree programs in Management Engineering. DIISM also hosts the PhD program in Industrial Engineering, featuring three curricula: Energy Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Materials Engineering.
DIISM promotes and conducts research, education, and third mission activities across most sectors of interest to Industrial Engineering and Mathematical Sciences.
