Special (engineering analysis and design) Skills: B1 Is able to find the latest information in the relevant field of automation and control systems and is able to select it; B2 Is able to choose and apply mathematical methods, software and hardware to model, analyze and implement automation and control systems; B3 Is able to apply creative and innovative problem-solving skills to the development of industrial automation and control; B4 Is able to critically evaluate and interpret the current situation in the chosen field of research and prepare new proposals for solving the problem. B5 Is able to apply standard research methods and work with technical equipment; B6 Is able to organize safe work in the implementation activities of technical systems and processes; B7 Is able to program and configure PLC‘s and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems. Research Skills and Practical Activities: C1 Is able to analyse various technological and mechanical processes and technical systems; C2 Is able to evaluate modern control and automation devices; C3 Is able to evaluate the economical efficiency of projects and solutions; C4 is able to implement automatic and computerized control systems of electromechanical devices. C5 is able to implement technological processes control and automation systems. C6 s able to implement automatic and computerized control of technical systems. Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills: D1 Is able to use legal and normative documents regulating the design, implementation and economic principles of technical systems;

D2 Is able to work effectively individually and in a team, presenting their ideas and solutions to different audiences; D3 Is able to integrate information technologies in their working environment, in compliance with ethical standards; D4 Is able to comply with professional ethics and norms of engineering activity, understanding the impact of decisions made on society and the environment; D5 Is able to independently continuously learn and improve, formulate and achieve set goals. Activities of teaching and learning: The studies include classroom work (lectures, practical work, laboratory work, consultation seminars, outgoing visits to enterprises, etc.) and individual work for mastering theoretical material, preparation for classroom work, intermediate and final assessments and performing other activities. The studies of each study module are completed by the assessment of the student’s knowledge and skills – an examination or another final assessment; the study programme is completed by the final degree project and its defence. The study methods of active learning, such as design (programming), design thinking, challenge-based learning, creative workshops, group work, experiential learning, discussion, problem-based learning, reflective learning, idea (mind) mapping, etc. are applied to encourage the active participation and creativity of students in the study process. The achievements are assessed using the traditional assessment methods, such as laboratory examination, assignments, laboratory or project report, as well as other methods: work or competency file (portfolio), problem-solving task, engineering project, reflection on action, self-assessment, etc. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: The applied cumulative assessment system of the learning outcomes ensures constant and involving work of students during the entire semester of studies; the final evaluation of the study module consists of the sum of the grades of intermediate assessments and the final assessment multiplied by the weighting coefficients (percentages of components). The number of intermediate assessments and their expression in percentage are chosen by the study module’s coordinating lecturer. Besides the usual forms of assessment (for example, examination, oral presentation, project report, laboratory examination), an additional form of assessment “Assessment of student activity (level)” may be applied (up to 10% of the final grade) for the assessment of the student’s preparation for case analysis, an active discussion, participation in debates, etc. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: Analysis and Reliability of Technical Systems, Analysis of Electric Circuits 1, Analysis of Electric Circuits 2, Applied Electronics, Automatic Control Theory, Bachelor’s Degree Final Project, Classical Physics, Computer Controlled Systems, Computer Drawing, Electric Drives, Electrical Materials and Measurements, Electrical Power Engineering, Electromechanics, Engineering Economics, Engineering Graphics, Engineering Materials, Engineering Mechanics, Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, Instrumentation of Automation Systems, Introduction to Control Technologies, Introduction to Programming for Engineers, Logical Automatics, Mathematics 1, Mathematics 2, Modelling of Processes and Systems, Physics 2, Professional Internship, Programmable Logical Controllers, Real-Time Process Control, Software for Engineering Calculations, Theory of Probability and Statistics, Work Safety.
