Automation Engineering and Control of Complex Systems
Course Overview
The Master’s Degree in Automation Engineering for the Control of Complex Systems is addressed to all students who are willing to go the extra mile as far as improving their technical skills and scientific expertise. A set of core disciplines in Automation Engineering has been established accordingly, without dismissing any further integrative subjects. This particular MSc enables a deeper understanding of how innovation is driven across industries, and in both the private and the public sector, translating quite well into concrete work opportunities too. Automation Engineering for the Control of Complex Systems shall therefore provide a suitable career path in terms of traditional and innovative strategies to cope well in emerging scenarios. Companies involved in the design, manufacture, supply and installation of industrial plants as well as of machinery for the automotive industry and robotics, not those dealing with product and software development, and information technology are very interested in automation engineers searching for them at all times.
One of the primary goals of this degree is to actually provide a highly flexible set of skills and knowledge that fit easily into multiple applications and work sectors where automation is so much needed as a whole in terms of technological betterment. Analysis and design capabilities, based on the use of modern tools and devices, play a crucial role too.
The MSc in Automation Engineering for the Control of Complex Systems encompassed by the Italian LM-25 (automation engineering) degree is run in a single two-year term (4 semesters) enabling direct access for students to be in the register of engineers afterwards.
Educational Goals
The aims and objectives for this MSc, as to what type of education and training students receive, point towards flexibility alongside the re-conversion of multiple applications where automation reigns supreme even in changing work conditions. Through automation engineering for the control of complex systems including converters, mechanic apparatuses, electrical machines and drives, students do learn how to deal with automated systems, modelling, control, mechanics and dynamics in relation to environmental, economic, biologic and industrial processes.
Particular emphasis is also placed on areas of study based on the actual design process of mechatronic systems and industrial robotics. The teaching path is largely lit by a blend of activities enabling the interaction with major core subject such as electronics, measurements and computer science, along with some other relevant but still emerging fields like bioengineering and biorobotics.
Overall, this master’s degree is entirely in English and a great deal of time is devoted to practical training and lab activities in such a way as to ensure effectiveness and consolidation a well of theoretical knowledge.
Job Opportunities
An automation engineer holds a pretty functional role within the information technology sector, as far as the understanding of job-related issues that need to be addressed in order to achieve development. The area of competence and responsibility, alongside analysis and design capabilities, do actually make a significant difference. Processing and methodologies, in fact, concur with complex modelling, design and control along with other engineering tasks involving automated systems themselves. It is here that an automation engineer turns out to be quite useful for companies dealing with product development, robotics, simulation systems, and high-tech contents by integrating computing devices, measurement, and transmission, not least actuation components.
