This specific pathway of the Post BA Vocational Program aims to train highly qualified professionals with a solid background in vehicle dynamics design. These professionals will be capable of operating in all phases of vehicle set-up and development, from dynamic simulation to prototype testing and pre-series vehicle production. The students will gain special expertise in vehicle testing techniques, both virtually using CAE systems and through training on driving simulators, as well as experimentally on vehicles (on the track and on the road). As a completely new feature, the training course includes test sessions on Quattroruote's ASC (Automotive Safety Centre) track, in addition to lectures. During these sessions, participants will learn about the techniques and methods used in testing, checking and fine-tuning the vehicle's dynamic behaviour. All participants will undertake an advanced driving course specifically designed to prepare them for subsequent on-track testing. The Vocational Program comprises targeted training on the VI-Grade CarRealTime simulation software, the MSC Adams software and the CFD software, as well as a special training module on a static simulator and a work session on a dynamic simulator at the VI-Grade centre in Tavagnacco (Udine) or at Danisi Engineering in Nichelino (Turin), which are partner companies in the programme.

A vehicle test engineer who has completed the specific Vocational Program can find employment in all industrial groups that operate in the design, development and production of vehicles, and more generally in the Automotive sector. Notably, the expertise gained during the course is of fundamental importance in the design, testing and development phases of the dynamic behaviour of new vehicles.

Training for design and test engineers is not available in the current academic education landscape, despite them being in high demand on the market. This training would be desirable in both mature markets, such as Italy, and emerging markets from the perspective of the Automotive industry. In addition, this Vocational Program's course is the world's first to contribute to the training of a new professional profile: the "Certified" CAE Driving Simulator Engineer. This role is reserved for students involved in apprenticeship activities specifically designed for further training and project development using the simulator.

The following companies are involved in the Vocational Program, related to one or both courses, in various capacities: 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. Aviorace and Koni.

The current changing context of the Automotive/Motorsport sector requires companies/teams to rely on highly trained human resources, not only in terms of theory and methodology, but also in the most innovative design and experimentation techniques currently available. These techniques are the main area of specialisation of the Vocational Program courses.
