Bachelor's Degree Programme Smart automation
The relevance of automation technology in everyday life is well-known. The bachelor’s degree programme in Smart Automation is focused on these topics known as “Industry 4.0”. Industry 4.0 encompasses the digitalisation of internal and external company value chains as well as product and service offerings and entire business models, all of which are thus revolutionised by it. Furthermore, individual customer requirements are to be realised with serially produced products, optimised decisions are to be made in flexible business and engineering processes, and resource productivity and efficiency are to be increased.
Focus bachelor's programme in Smart Automation
The bachelor’s degree programme in Smart Automation helps you to shape the future by implementing technical solutions. You will study physics, statistics and data analysis, human-machine interaction and much more. Furthermore, you will choose an elective module during the 5th semester. You will gain specialist knowledge in the fields of IT, electronics and automation technologies.
CORE AREAS
- Electrical Engineering and Circuit Design, Electrical Measurement and Sensors, Electrical Machines
- Computer science, Software development, PLC and Network Technology, Mobile and Database Solutions
- Embedded and Cyber Physical Systems, Control Engineering, Robotics, Security and Safety
Work PLacement
The work placement allows students to deepen and consolidate the content learned during their studies, to critically reflect the theory with the company’s reality, and to expand their skills to apply knowledge. The work placement is assigned to the 6th semester of the curriculum and is scheduled for at least 15 weeks. A work placement seminar supports and accompanies students during their work placement.
The collectivity of all experiences from the relevant professional activity and the specific discourse as well as the production of cross-connections between studies and the profession are characterised by an internship. The identification and evaluation of interrelationships as well as reports on experiences from the internship are an obligation for the students.
Elective modules
During the 5th semester you have the opportunity to choose one of three elective modules: product, production or process. You will handle this topic for the rest of the semester. This individual selection promotes an individualised qualification with respect to the personal interests and occupational requirements of the students.
- Product: The students gain knowledge on the product development process. By using a guiding example product through the whole lifecycle, students are able to explain, evaluate and conduct requirements analysis, product development, manufacturing and programming, testing and gaining approval.
- Production: The students gain knowledge on standard and advanced manufacturing technologies and machines according to DIN 8580 for industrial use. Furthermore, the students are able to discuss metrology, parts quality and use the knowledge for production-oriented design. The students also gain knowledge in the field of additive manufacturing and the virtual factory.
- Process: The course unit deals with all kinds of material handling, from gases, liquids and solids to parts and products, ranging from simple pipes to complex supply chains. The students are able to conduct process engineering and design logistic systems.
