The Faculty of Engineering was founded in 1939 and started the teaching activities with the Study Programme in Mining Engineering. The other Study Programmes in Engineering were established in the following years.
In the academic year 2006/2007 the Faculty of Architecture was created due to the specific demand coming from the regional territory and the Mediterranean basin.

The present Faculty of Engineering and Architecture derives from a deep reorganization of the Italian universities following the national university reform. It consists in a structure joining up 3 Departments: Civil-Environmental Engineering and Architecture; Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Mechanical, Chemical and Materials Engineering.
The new Faculty was born with the aim of creating a synergy between a unique technological environment in Sardinia, represented by the former Faculty of Engineering, with its laboratories and rich relations with the regional industrial system, and the historic and quality cultures of the architectural project.
Moreover all the statistical analyses on the employment condition in Italy set the graduates in Engineering and Architecture in the first place.

The Faculty of Engineering and Architecture offers seven undergraduate degree programmes:

• Biomedical Engineering
