applied (as in applied science)
Usage Note
Applicato has two distinct senses: as a personality descriptor it means hardworking or diligent (uno studente applicato = 'a diligent student'), and in academic/scientific contexts it means 'applied' as opposed to theoretical (matematica applicata = 'applied mathematics'). As a past participle of applicare it also means 'attached' or 'applied' in a physical sense.
Examples
"È uno studente molto applicato e attento."
Natural Translation
He is a very diligent and attentive student.
