The Ph.D. programme in Computer and Control Engineering is offered by the Department of Control and Computer Engineering, and it is part of the third-level offer of the Doctoral School of the Politecnico di Torino. It is a training path that leads to the achievement of the title of Doctor of Research (or Philosophy Doctor, Ph.D., according to Anglo-Saxon terminology), the highest level of education which is an increasingly common requirement for senior roles in industry, research centers and other contexts of society, as well as being necessary to undertake an academic career. Expected Learning Outcomes - Knowledge and understanding skills. The Ph.D. student must show an advanced knowledge of the state of the art in the research domain. This can be achieved by attending hard skill courses and carrying out individual study and research activities under the supervision of the supervisor and other researchers. The Academic Board is in charge of the verification, which is conducted at the end of each year during the annual review, and represents one of the evaluation criteria for the final exam. - Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. The Ph.D. students will learn and acquire a rigorous methodology in carrying out their research activity and the ability to work individually and autonomously in scientific production. In addition, they will develop strong teamwork and management skills. Those skills, which are prerequisites for writing the final thesis and getting ready for the final defense, are acquired through the research activities conducted in collaboration with the supervisors and other researchers, encompassing the supervision of Master’s degree students during the thesis project. The verification is completed at the end of each year based on the report provided by the supervisor. - Critical thinking. The Ph.D. students will develop skills to outline a research project and critically evaluate their and others’ scientific works. During the learning process, the students can take advantage of the soft skills courses and other scientific activities under the tutor’s supervision, such as the peer review of scientific articles or Master’s degree thesis works. The verification of the acquired skills passes through the examination of the courses attended by the student and, at the end of the year, through the annual review. - Ability to learn and trasfer knowledge. The Ph.D. students will be able to share their acquired knowledge and skills with others. This ability is achieved through various forms of active teaching, such as exercises or tutoring during Bachelor’s and Master’s degree courses. The acquired skills are verified at the end of the year during the annual review.
