Program Description – Process Automation Engineering (050634)
The Process Automation Engineering Bachelor Program (050634) is aimed at training professionals who will be able to manage the entire automation project life cycle for industrial processes comprehensively, where the aspects of planning, designing, optimizing, and implementing are incorporated. The program is characterized by the wisdom of many disciplines, like control systems, electronics, programming, measurement technologies, industrial communication networks, microprocessor systems, robotics, and modern SCADA/PLC platforms. The study synchronizes with the national higher education structure of Azerbaijan and corresponds to the current needs of the industry, which are digitalization and Industry 4.0 that push the change of skills and knowledge in the area.
The four-year program is composed of 240 ECTS credits, which consist of theoretical coursework, laboratory practice, interdisciplinary projects, and compulsory industrial internships. Students first gain strong knowledge in math, physics, chemistry, computer science, and engineering basics, and then go on progressively to applied subjects like automatic control theory, digital and analog electronics, microcontrollers, industrial sensors and actuators, process modeling & simulation, mechatronics, data acquisition systems, smart control technologies, and industrial automation software.
The teaching methodology is problem-based learning, laboratory instruction, project work, simulation tools, and research along with industrial case studies, thus ensuring a proper mix of theory and practical application. Students will cultivate skills in teamwork, communication, analytical reasoning, creativity, and innovation, which are all marked as crucial in the modern engineering field.
