The study programme aims to train experienced professionals in digital automation engineering, capable of mastering, from both a theoretical and a practical point of view, the mathematical, computer and technical tools of the main disciplines governing automation processes in a digital context, enabling graduates to design, implement and manage automated systems and digital infrastructures.
The programme, taught entirely in English, is structured in the first year in a common path and in the second year in three competence profiles: “Digital Infrastructure”, “Digital Design” and “Digital Manufacturing”. The common path provides preparation on the fundamental aspects of digital automation such as statistics and optimisation, artificial intelligence and data science, as well as the implementation and control aspects of robotics. The three competence profiles decline digital automation engineering in specific contexts, such as digital infrastructure management, digital design techniques, and digitalisation of production systems.
