It's useful to know
The Bachelor's Degree in Automatic and Industrial Electronic Engineering provides a qualification that offers great opportunities for immediate work, whether in industry, services or civil service or self-employment. Accordingly, it provides students with the knowledge and skills to work in one of today’s most important sectors for economic development.
The degree is based on fundamental subjects like algebra, calculus and physics. These subjects, together with electronics, provide the necessary foundations for understanding more industrial-based subjects. Over the course of the degree, subjects will expand into more practical and typical course subjects, which relate to automation, electricity, electronics and control.
It cannot be emphasised enough that the best driver in these studies is motivation. The Automation and Industrial Electronics Engineering degree is best suited to those people who want to be involved in the development of society - and particularly of a modern, competitive industry - who are interested in the methods and systems of manipulating and transforming materials and energy and are curious about modern technology and advances.
Competences
The aim of this degree is to provide students with the tools to acquire the necessary skills to practise the profession:
- Drafting, signing, developing and directing projects in the area of industrial engineering.
- Understanding the basic subjects and technologies that provide them with the skills for learning new methods and theories as well as the versatility for adapting to new situations.
- Ability to take the initiative in problem-solving, decision making, creativity and critical reasoning, and the ability to communicate and transfer knowledge, as well as skills and aptitudes in the field of industrial engineering.
- Knowledge on taking measurements, making calculations, appraisals, valuations, studies, reports, work plans and similar activities.
- Ability to handle specifications, regulations and rules.
