- Description/content
- IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Students interested in the “Systems Engineering and Automation” major have to apply for the Master's degree programme in “Electrical Engineering and Information Technology”. Once accepted and enrolled, they can choose any of the five majors (Systems and Automation, Communications Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Biomedical Systems Engineering). Graduates with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology with a specialisation in Systems Engineering and Automation will understand systems by combining their in-depth knowledge in systems and control with their knowledge of other disciplines.
Graduates from this Master's programme will be able to apply control theory to design systems with a desired behaviour. They will have insight and enhanced appreciation of analysis, modelling, and control of dynamic systems. They will be familiar with calculus, physics, and programming skills. They will have the ability to interpret the physical significance of mathematical results in system analysis. The graduates will be able to apply theoretical concepts of system identification, modelling, and optimisation. For many industrial branches, automation technology is the key to economic performance.
The graduates will be able:
• to take technical-scientific questions from practice, to understand the problems, to formulate them, and then communicate them to others
• to analyse engineering and technology questions and formulate solutions
• to understand the impact of design activities on the life cycle of products
• to adequately report results both in writing and verbally using current technical language and terminology
• to communicate adequately in their native language and in English
