Latest years witnessed a rapid growth in terms of technical and scientific evolution. This paved the way for a radical transformation of the activities of engineers and promoted the creation of new professional roles within manufacturing companies.

Within this global trend, it is to be highlighted the intimate and rapid change in precision manufacturing, where traditional technologies are more and more supported by research and innovation latest findings.

Simultaneously, machine and process evolution couples with a significant enrichment and refinement of design methodologies.

The efficient management of continuous innovation and R&D activities themselves is a key success factor.

SUPSI (University of Applied Science of Southern Switzerland), supported by the Swiss Federal Office for Professional Education and Technology and the Dongguan Science&Technology Bureau (People’s Republic of China), offers a Master of Science course in Precision Manufacturing, that is seen as a concrete answer to the growing need of professional figures meant to foster precision manufacturing evolution and growth, thanks to the capability to manage traditional and recent technologies from the design phase to production phase.
