Automation and Control Engineering Graduates are experts who can actively participate and take the lead in the executive design and development of products and systems, in a vast spectrum of application fields. She/he may take on full responsibility for designing, installing, testing and maintaining complex machines and systems, characterized by many interacting subsystems and involving different scientific and technical domains. The Degree program provides the graduates with a strong background in systems’ theory: the discipline of studying, modeling, designing, optimizing, and controlling complex dynamical systems. Automation and Control Engineers know how to solve complex design and decision problems by applying and merging fundamental disciplines, such as mathematics and physics, industrial engineering ones, such as thermodynamics, mechanics, electric drives, automatic control, and information and telecommunication ones, like computer science, electronics, communication networks. Thanks to the interdisciplinary nature of her/his background, the graduate has all the necessary skills to design and manage systems resulting from the integration of highly diverse components and technologies. This flexibility both in the attitude and in the competences is a significant asset of the Automation and Control Engineer, in view of the large variety of possible applications, of the continuous and rapid evolution of the technologies, as well as of the dynamics of the job market.
MSc Graduates in Automation and Control Engineering start exciting and fulfilling careers in design, research and development, technical management in all fields where automation and control are relevant, such as: (a) industry producing manufacturing systems, automatic machines, robotic systems, mechatronic systems; (b) process industry (pulp and paper, energy production and conversion, chemical and petrochemical industry, etc.); (c) transportation systems (ground, marine and aerospace), concerning both the development of vehicles (cars, boats, helicopters, aircrafts, satellites), and the design, management and control of infrastructures; (d) transportation and distribution networks; (e) food industry; (f) electrical appliances and home automation; (g) environmental resources, (e) health systems (automatic medical devices, medical robots, production processes for medicines and medical appliances). Typical companies where the automation and control engineers may operate include those producing and selling automation systems (both hardware and software); companies that use automated production plants or that manage highly complex services; engineering and consulting firms that design and project complex, economically challenging and technologically advanced plants and systems.
