Overview

The master’s degree programme Energy Automation Sustainable Engineering (EASE) from Arcada University of Applied Sciences has a unique, Nordic profile within a rapidly changing field. In this programme, we focus on sustainable change in energy systems. You will learn how analytical and modelling tools can be implemented in supervisory systems for the purpose of improved understanding and more efficient operation. We look at how physics and data can be used to create digital twins and how digital models support sustainable change in engineering design and transition towards a circular economy. The programme prepares you for taking on leadership roles within various fields of engineering and provides you with the skills needed for supporting the transition towards more sustainable engineering.

The programme is offered in collaboration with Högskolan på Åland. While most of the studies take place online, students are also expected to physically attend curricular activities both on Arcada’s campus in Helsinki and on Högskolan på Åland’s campus in Mariehamn for a few weeks during spring semester.

What you will learn

skills in designing and implementing analytical tools in supervisory systems

skills needed for adapting supervisory systems to different applications within engineering, especially within renewable energy systems and smart grids

how to support changing business models towards including service and maintenance within engineering applications on a general level

how digital twins can be used for designing and improving automatic systems

how models of engineering systems can be combined with sensor data for system health management and predictive maintenance

how to incorporate your understanding in supervisory systems for, e.g., improving operation, automation and control

different strategies that can be used for controlling generated power in addition to controlling demand in electric grids.

Examples of future positions

After completing this master’s degree, you can take on leadership roles in:

developing measurement and supervisory systems for engineering applications

developing automation and production lines, and improving efficiency through use of models and data
designing model-based engineering solutions

driving sustainable change in engineering systems and support the transition towards a more circular society.
