Summary of the Profile
General Description:
Objective(s) of a study programme:
The aim is to prepare qualified automation and robotics engineering specialists who are able to design, implement and operate automation and robotics systems, able to work in a team and independently, integrating legal, social and economic aspects.
Learning outcomes:
Knowledge and its application
1. Describe the conceptual foundations of engineering and analyze an automated/roboticized object by applying the results and methods of fundamental and applied scientific research.
2. Be familiar with modern information and communication systems and be able to select and adapt them for the analysis of automation and robotics objects.
3. Apply the principles of functioning of programmable control systems when developing control programs.
Ability to conduct research
4. Conduct research on the efficiency of automated and robotic objects by analyzing physical performance characteristics and conceptual systems.
5. Economically and financially substantiate an automation or robotics project, assessing its impact on the well-being of society and sustainable development.
Special abilities
6. Plan and organize the design, installation, commissioning and operation of automation and robotics systems.
7. Prepare automation and robotics systems for operation in accordance with the requirements of technical specifications.
8. Design automation and robotics systems using specialized software.
9. Visualize an automatic control process or system using visualization software.
10. Create databases of operating parameters of automation and robotics systems.
Social skills
11. Works and communicates in a diverse team in accordance with the requirements of professional ethics.
12. Plans and organizes engineering activities in accordance with legal acts and normative documents, making decisions on the implementation of activities and taking responsibility for the quality of personal activities and those of the subordinates.
Personal abilities
13. Independently plans professional development activities in the context of lifelong learning.
Activities of teaching and learning:
Interactive theory lectures – explanation during lectures along with analysis of practical examples, demonstration of method application, discussion, seminar, group-work, brainstorming, and case analysis. Practical in computer classrooms, laboratory and practical works, solving of practical tasks, interactive solving of tasks, analysis of drawings, laboratory works in a virtual laboratory, report of laboratory and practical work, practical test tasks, application of knowledge about the limits of laboratory equipment application. Execution of project – consultation, self-study, work report, presentation and defence. Self-study – report, presentation, demonstration, self-check tests, self-study of scientific literature.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Students’ subject learning outcomes are assessed using criteria ten-point assessment scheme. Respectively, one or several assessment criteria for study achievements are formulated. Assessment criteria are the basis for preparation of knowledge evaluation tasks of various forms, because the execution of the latter allows drawing conclusions about the level of achievement of the learning outcomes. Assessment procedure, assessment system and assessment criteria are based on the principles of consistency, reliability, clarity, usefulness and impartiality. For the assessment of student’s study subject achievement, accumulative (learning outcomes are assessed by means of intermediate knowledge assessments) or collegial (in case of graduation paper, students are examined by a competent commission consisting of scientists, professional practicians, and representatives of social partners) assessment is used.
