Summary of the Profile

General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme:

To provide the skills to apply integrated knowledge of industrial engineering, economics, management and business, and to develop research competencies while solving scientific-engineering business problems and making sustainable, research-based decisions. Learning outcomes:

Knowledge and its Application: A1 Is able to creatively apply integrated knowledge of engineering, innovation and modern/innovative production technologies and economics in solving atypical industrial engineering problems; A2 Is able to combine research-based achievements in industrial production and forecasting their impact on future performance; A3 Is able to discuss the impact of engineering changes, financial decisions and production management on the performance of an industrial enterprise.

Special (engineering analysis and design) Skills: B1 Is able to solve loosely defined or difficult-to-predict production planning and management problems; B2 Is able to solve various problems in the area of production engineering using innovative problem-solving methods and strategies; B3 Is able to propose sustainable innovative solutions combining engineering, economics and management competencies of the field. B4 Is able to apply integrated knowledge to solving interdisciplinary scientific and subject-specific problems of industrial engineering.

Research Skills and Practical Activities: C1 Is able to conduct analytical, mathematical modelling, scientific and experimental research based on the problems of the study field, providing reasoned conclusions and recommendations; C2 Is able to apply theoretical, research and modelling methods to solving practical industrial production problems; C3 Is able to develop new ideas and methods for the improvement of sustainable production processes; C4 Is able to argue for the selected solutions in complex and technically uncertain industrial production situations. C5 Is able to conduct analytical, mathematical modelling, scientific and experimental research based on the problems of the study field, providing reasoned conclusions and recommendations.

Personal (decision-making, lifelong learning, cooperation and teamwork) Skills: D1 Is able to work effectively independently and as a member and leader of a multidisciplinary team; D2 Is able to maintain communication with professionals of various fields and the public at national and international levels; D3 Is able to describe the summarised impact of engineering activities and taking responsibility for own decisions; D4 Is able to assess the business impact of engineering project management and technological changes.

Additional Knowledge and Skills: E1 Is able to find information relevant to research work in databases and information sources; E2 Is able to reveal the significance of material and energy conservation, environmental protection and occupational safety; E3 Is able to assess the limits of the application of new production technologies and effective management methods.

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: Computer Integrated Manufacturing, Engineering Projects Management, Industrial Maintenance, Industrial Marketing, Industrial Production, International Industry and Business, Managerial Finance, Manufacturing Planning and Control, Master’s Degree Final Project, Methods of Research and Quality Control, Product Development, Quality Management, Research Project 1, Research Project 2. Specialisations: - Optional courses: Electives: Computer-Aided Analysis of Structures, Productivity Management, Modern Management of Organisation, Innovative Production Technologies. Distinctive features of a study programme: A graduate has comprehensive knowledge of industrial engineering, economics and management, control of engineering operations, understands the multidisciplinary context of the engineering practice and international production, is able to critically evaluate, analyse, design and manage production technologies and processes, can form, conceptualise and solve unknown or incompletely specified industrial problems apply methods of mathematical modelling, systematic analysis and design, and can lead the activities of the team composed of the members of various areas and levels. Access to professional activity or further study: Access to professional activity:

The graduate can carry out research, designing, manufacturing and maintenance planning, management as well as other engineering work in various companies and organisations of research, engineering services and technical support. Access to further study: S/he has access to the third cycle studies.
