Summary of the Profile
General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: The aim of the study programme of Automation and Robotics is to train professional electrical engineering specialists competitive in the labour market and able to design, implement and service automated and robotic systems (ARS); develop algorithms and programs for object management; put into operation and coordinate ARS; detect and eliminate ARS faults; evaluate engineering decisions from the ethical, legal, social, economic and safety point of view; knowing the principles, methods and techniques of ARS analysis and design, characteristics of controlled objects and ARS elements, installation methods of ARS elements and work safety requirements; able to apply subject knowledge in solving engineering tasks and problems; ready to work individually and in a team (including a multicultural environment); able to act as group leaders in the implementation of ARS design, installation and operation projects and works. Learning outcomes: Knowledge and its application 1. Able to describe the conceptual foundations of engineering and analyze the control object from automation and robotics point of view, applying appropriate research methods, interpreting data and formulating reasonable conclusions. 2. Able to select and apply modern information and communication systems for the automatic and robotic object management. 3. Able to apply principle knowledge of functioning to programmable control systems when creating program codes for logical controllers. Ability to conduct research 4. Able to independently select the appropriate elements of ARS, coordinate them with each other and prepare automation and robotic schemes. 5. Able to economically - financially substantiate the ARS project, assessing the impact of its activities and impact on the well-being of society and sustainable development. Special abilities 6. Able to plan and organize the installation of the ARS and their elements, making decisions on the adjustment of activities, taking into account the results of the activity analysis and specialists’ recommendations. 7. Able to assess the condition of the ARS by identifying faults and their disposal methods and recommending fault prevention measures.
8. Able to put in operation and coordinate the ARS in accordance with the requirements set out in the technical specifications. 9. Able to visualize a managed process, device or system using data visualization programs. 10. Able to create databases using data management and object-oriented programming technologies. 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.
