Why Automation?

The specialty “Automation, computer-integrated technologies and robotics” (“Automation and computer-integrated technologies”) is a modern Hi-Tech specialty, being a symbiosis of classical engineering education in the field of automation with in-depth study of computer information technologies and special software.

The training of specialists simultaneously combines different directions: automation of technological processes, designing programming of microcontrollers, including industrial ones, and robotics.

Modern world demands specialists in automation and control immensely, as only our graduates can solve complex tasks of automation, namely, create computer-integrated control systems, combining a technological process with a computer control system, which work without human intervention.

Compared to traditional IT specialties, the advantage of the specialty is the combination of software and hardware parts, writing software for real production processes. This enables graduates to successfully work as software and hardware developers for robotics, integrated and built-in systems, cars, smart houses, as well as to hold leading positions in automation and metrology departments, and fulfill themselves in the IT field as project managers, software QA engineers, system administrators, etc.

Students study profoundly the following:

• automated management in technical and technological systems;
• modern information technologies;
• the latest programming and microprocessor technologies;
• management theory methods;
• computer systems and networks;
• system analysis and design;
• technical means of automation;
• software tools of control systems;
• computer modeling of processes and management systems;
• information processing and protection methods.

The graduate of the specialty “Automation, computer-integrated technologies and robotics” (“Automation and computer-integrated technologies”) acquires such skills:

• creation and support of the functioning of automated production process
  management systems based on modern microprocessors;
• design and development of software, technical and information support for automated
  control systems;
• management and design of modern technological computer systems and networks;
• development of software and software-hardware complexes;
• planning, optimization and intellectualization of production processes.
