Key Learning Outcomes
Key Lerning Outcomes are Expressed in following Structure: Knowledge, Skills, General competencies
Knowledge:
- methods of design and operation of measuring, diagnostic and control systems of industrial equipment - theory and application of automation and informatics - practical use of computers and their networks to support the management of production processes and technical-economic tasks
Skills:
- practical problems in implementing computerized support for production system management - use of industrial automation visualization software tools - design and build web information systems applications - Configure the operating system from the administrator's perspective - Create computer networks and administer them - find, organize and interpret relevant information to solve practical problems - design and implement logic control applications, adjust PID controller parameters
General competencies:
- teamwork experience - learn to coordinate team activities - processing projects related to the bachelor thesis - elaboration of high-quality, sufficiently extensive and critical research of solved problems - ability to use modern computational methods and efficiently evaluate outputs of technical measurements
Occupational Profiles of Graduates with Examples
Graduates have a wide range of jobs because the introduction of information technology and automation takes place in all industries, services or government. Graduates can work as: - programmers of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) - Software developers - designers of measuring, diagnostic and control systems of industrial equipment - specialists providing operation, adjustment, programming, diagnostics, maintenance and repairs of complex production-technological units. Graduates are equipped with the skills and knowledge to enable them to grow professionally through creative involvement in the production process or by continuing their master's degree program (Automatic Control and Engineering Informatics, Mechanical Engineering Program).
Examination Regulations, Assessment and Grading
