Industrial mechatronics (priemyselná mechatronika)

Characteristics

A graduate of the Industrial Mechatronics study program has knowledge of mechanical, electronic and control systems, which he can synergistically integrate into a functional unit using the available technologies of sensors, transducers and actuators and control systems. He can dimension and verify the proposed structures using simulation and experimental methods. He applies the methodology of the design of automated and robotic workplaces with the use of suitable control algorithms.

Aims of education

A graduate of the second degree of university studies in industrial mechatronics will acquire knowledge in the field of mechatronics enabling him to manage teams of workers in this field, independently lead even large projects and take responsibility for complex solutions. He will also acquire the skills to apply the integration of mechanics, electronics and control into one functional unit and to apply theoretical knowledge and procedures for solving detailed project problems and tasks associated with business activities.
The graduate acquires the knowledge and skills to analyze and apply design strategies for product solution concepts, has experience with hypothesis formulation, experimental design, hypothesis verification and data analysis. He will also acquire the skills to analyze and apply work procedures in an engineering experiment. He will acquire knowledge necessary for modeling, simulation and optimization of mechatronic systems.
The graduate will acquire knowledge and skills to apply design methodology, procedures and tools and apply advanced skills in using CAx systems and numerical methods of mechanics and mechatronics in product design.
He will also acquire knowledge and skills to understand and apply electronic circuits and verify them with the support of computer systems and create an analysis of the logical behavior of the product and possibly a synthesis of the logical system and apply it in the form of a control algorithm to the structure of the embedded control system.
The graduate will acquire the knowledge and skills to design advanced systems with industrial and collaborative robots and the support of machine vision and artificial intelligence and neural networks.

Learning Outcomes

A graduate of the second degree of university studies in the Industrial Mechatronics study program is able to orientate himself in various areas and creatively apply the acquired knowledge in the complex design of a mechatronic system. He can understand theoretical knowledge, analyze a problem task and apply practical skills to solve a problem, and can also analyze, design, construct and maintain large-scale technical solutions involving mechatronic systems, conduct research with a high degree of creativity and independence.
The graduate has the ability to have a creative and systematic approach to the analysis and synthesis of mechatronic objects, on the other hand, the approach to analysis and synthesis is derived from the mathematical-physical description of individual functional blocks of these systems, subsequently verified by simulations and experiments on real objects.
The graduate has the knowledge and skills to design parts and assemblies using CAD programs and to apply unified procedures in the creation of technical documentation with the support of CA methods and to apply the principles of dimensioning and calculations of parts with the support of the FEM method. He correctly applies the methodology of choosing the shape and choosing the technical material of the designed component.
The graduate has the ability to analyze and design more complex electronic systems and apply methodological procedures for the design of measurement chains with sensors, transducers, actuators and other supporting electronic systems.
The graduate has knowledge and is able to analyze the mechanical properties of the system from the point of view of the principles of controlling its movements up to the system creation of hardware and software of the control system. He algorithms tasks and creates programs in a programming language and has the ability to apply control systems based on single-chip microcontrollers and PLC systems, which he subsequently integrates into the proposed solutions of mechatronic systems.
The graduate has the skills to design workplaces with industrial and collaborative robots with the support of visual systems for controlling these robots and their navigation in the work environment.
The graduate also has the ability to work in a team and cooperate and is ready to participate actively and responsibly in the work even in international teams.
