Research activities at the DIEF are divided
into 5 main areas of science and engineering: Civil
and Environmental Engineering, Electronic
Engineering, Computer Engineering, Materials
Engineering, Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering.
All of them have been steadily growing over the past 30
years in terms of number of research topics, number
of researchers and research projects, number of

publications, local, national and international impact.

At present, Research at the DIEF involves about
100 permanent staff members and additional 180

non-staff, early stage contract researchers. About 45
research labs with highly specialised and state of the
art equipment are hosted in the department premises
to support the activity, as illustrated in detail in the
following.

Every year, the Department elaborates a plan
for enhancing specific research activities or transversal
actions in support of the research, which receives
funding from the University. Remarkable funding
opportunities are continuously generated by the staff
members, which provide access to regional, national
and international support for institutional projects

and industry-oriented applied research activities. The
competences and skills of the staff members and early
stage researchers are instrumental to the success in
this field.
