Control and Information Systems VSB - Technical University of Ostrava

Overview

The aim of the Control and Information Systems program from VSB - Technical University of Ostrava is to prepare experts in the field of control, information and measurement systems. Graduates are able to independently solve complex technical tasks related to the design, implementation and maintenance of control, measurement and information systems.

The technical areas targeted by the study plan have currently been undergoing rapid development. Concepts such as production digitization, Industry 4.0, automation, robotics are key trends in the industry. Graduates of the study program will be able to meet the requirements of companies in these areas. This is due to the structure of the study plan of the program, which combines both cybernetics, measurement, electronics, signal processing, and application software development.

The program is based on three pillars:

• The theoretical basis of the program is mathematics.
• Basic theoretical subjects of the profiling base are focused on cybernetics, measurement and signal processing.
• The subjects of the profiling base are divided into three blocks, which form a set of appropriately connected objects. Students are obliged to select one block.

The blocks of the profiling base are as follows:

• Industrial Automation - This block is suitable for students whose main priority is the application of industrial automation and robotics.
• Computers and Information Systems in Control - This block is suitable for students whose main priority is embedded control systems, design of their own electronics based on microprocessor techniques, creation of application software for these devices.
• Measurement and Testing Systems - This block is suitable for students who want to take a closer look at measurement technology and virtual instrumentation.

These core areas of the study program are further complemented by a wide range of optional subjects within which the student has the opportunity to set up his / her study plan according to their preferences.

Career

Typical employers of program graduates are as follows:

• Companies engaged in engineering in automation, measurement, development of embedded electronic systems.

• Companies engaged in mechanical production, production of electronic products, companies being active in metallurgy and many others, where automation and digitization of production have to be tackled.
• Due to the fact that the specialization is quite broad and it combines the knowledge of electrical engineering and computer science, graduates are also often employed in companies dealing with information technologies, communication technologies, etc.
