Summary of the Profile

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: To provide the integrated knowledge of production and mechanical engineering, electronics and control required for the development of modern smart electro-mechanical products, and to develop the skills to design and operate sustainable robotic systems used in industry. Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and its Application: A1 Is able to relate the fundamentals of natural sciences and mathematics required to learn the concepts of the core subjects of the study field and engineering; A2 Is able to describe the essential concepts of digitisation of production, fundamentals of mechatronics, materials science, systems design and control and quality assurance; A3 Is able to define the basic principles of production engineering by linking the fundamentals of mechanics, electronics and computer science; A4 Is able to interpret the multidisciplinary context of engineering by applying methods and processes from other disciplines to mechatronics.

Special (engineering analysis and design) Skills: B1 Is able to apply their knowledge and understanding while formulating and solving interdisciplinary problems in mechatronics; B2 Is able to apply knowledge from various disciplines to select appropriate experimental methods, equipment and components to solve engineering problems; B3 Is able to adjust modelling and computer analysis methods to the design and cleaning of mechatronic and robotic systems. B4 Is able to apply interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding in the implementation of design and automation projects according to the defined requirements and compliant with sustainable development principles; B5 Is able to creatively apply design methodologies for mechatronic components and robotic systems in the development of advanced production systems.

Research Skills and Practical Activities: C1 Is able to conduct experiments related to the studies in the field, including processing and evaluating the results and providing reasoned conclusions; C2 Is able to use laboratory equipment to conduct experiments in the interdisciplinary field of mechatronics; C3 Is able to apply engineering methods, tools and equipment while solving multidisciplinary production engineering problems; C4 Is able to assess the organisational principles in the production of mechatronic systems considering fire safety requirements and specifying the significance of the interaction between the individual segments.

Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills:

D1 Is able to work independently and in a team; D2 Is able to maintain business communication with like-minded individuals and the public in their native language and at least one foreign language; D3 Is able to explain the impact of engineering solutions on the surrounding environment, taking responsibility for activities performed according to the principles of professional ethics and sustainable production; D4 Is able to explain the management and business aspects of projects in the field of mechatronics while assessing the interdisciplinary links between engineering solutions and their economic implications.

Additional Knowledge and Skills: E1 Is able to finding relevant scientific and professional information through various information search sources and scientific databases; E2 Is able to explain the impact of engineering solutions on the surrounding environment, taking responsibility for activities performed according to the principles of professional ethics and sustainable production; E3 Is able to combine theoretical and applied knowledge and skills from different disciplines while solving the issues of the effective development of sustainable robotic systems. 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: Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, Applied Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Automatic Control Fundamentals, Bachelor’s Degree Final Project, Computer-Aided Design, Computer-Aided Machinery Control Systems, Digitalization in Design and Manufacturing, Electric Drives,
