Quality Assurance

The Quality Assurance (QA) system of the Master’s Degree Programme in Mechatronics Engineering is implemented in accordance with the European Standards and Guidelines (ESG 2015) and the AVA3 framework defined by ANVUR.

The QA system ensures the continuous improvement of the programme through systematic monitoring, evaluation, and review of educational processes and outcomes.

Objectives

  • Ensure consistency between learning outcomes and teaching activities
  • Monitor student progression, performance, and satisfaction
  • Promote continuous improvement of teaching quality
  • Ensure transparency and accountability

QA Governance and Responsibilities

The QA system is managed through the following bodies:

  • Programme Coordinator – overall responsibility for QA processes
  • Quality Assurance Committee (AQ Group) – monitoring and coordination
  • Joint Student-Teacher Committee (CPDS) – evaluation of teaching quality
  • Review Group (Gruppo di Riesame) – preparation of monitoring reports
  • Course of Study Council (CCS) – approval of QA actions

QA Cycle (PDCA Model)

  • Plan: definition of objectives and learning outcomes
  • Do: implementation of teaching activities
  • Check: monitoring through indicators and student feedback
  • Act: definition of improvement actions

Monitoring and Indicators

  • Student enrolment trends
  • Dropout and completion rates
  • Graduate employment data
  • Student satisfaction surveys
  • Teaching evaluation results

Key QA Documents

All documents are publicly available to ensure transparency.

Student Involvement

  • Participation in the Joint Student-Teacher Committee (CPDS)
  • Completion of course evaluation questionnaires

Special Event: Meet the Artist – Ultimo at Tor Vergata at the end of May

Ahead of his concert on July 4th, 2026, the acclaimed singer Ultimo has expressed a special wish to meet the students of our University for an open discussion and debate.

The meeting will take place at the Auditorium Ennio Morricone towards the end of May. The discussion will focus on the future of the new generations and the role of musical culture in supporting young people’s growth, with a particular focus on urban peripheries.

How to Participate

Participation is limited to 50 students per Macroarea. To ensure a fair representation:

  • Selection: Each Degree Course Coordinator will select 3 to 4 students to represent their specific program.

  • Criteria: Selection will be based on interest in the topic and a mandatory gender equality requirement.

  • Deadline: Coordinators must submit the names of the selected students by the end of next week.

Streaming for All

Given the Auditorium’s limited capacity, we want to ensure everyone can be part of this conversation. Students who are not selected for in-person attendance will be able to follow the entire event via live streaming.

Further details regarding the exact date and streaming links will be provided soon.

DEADLINE: Send an email by 26 April to ranieri@ing.uniroma2.it
