Areas of the PhD Programme: The course deals with subjects on Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering and Materials Engineering. 
In the present Cycle, the Course is structured around three curricula: the first one is named "Industry 4.0", another is named “Vehicle Engineering”, and the third one is named “Civil and Environmental Engineering”. 
These are the educational objectives, common to all PhD students: advanced training in the various areas of industrial and environmental engineering; education to the scientific and technological research; development of the attitude to international scientific cooperation; ability to interact with the industrial and economic district. More specifically, the issues considered fall within the specific areas listed below. The particular “Industry 4.0” curriculum characterizes the transversal nature of the issues that distinguish the E4E Doctoral School (Engineering for Economics – Economics for Engineering), of which this Course is part.
The Teaching Committee may propose to one or more students enrolled, considerated suitable, a programme of study and research in collaboration with the Chinese University of Fuzhou that will result in the achievement also of the title of Chinese PhD in "Doctor in Engineering" as well as with the Federal University of Technology del Paranà (Brazil) that will result in the achievement also of the Brazilian PhD title in "Doctor in Mechanical Engineering and Materials ".
Official course language: English. However, all the PhD students are encouraged to learn the Italian language during the course of study.

Both curricula investigate the following research areas: 
- Transformation of work, innovation and business models; 
- Autonomy, discretion and performance appraisal in the digital enterprise;
- Engineering economics, sustainable finance and financial innovation;
- Corporate sustainability;
- Health, safety, disability, work and care;
- Gender equality: theories, measurement, policies and reporting tools;
