Master's in Engineering, Automation and Control Systems specialization

The objective of the program is to prepare masters in engineering, who will be oriented either to continue study on the PhD level or to conduct the practical or scientific activity as in Georgia as abroad – to gain theoretical and practical knowledge in engineering disciplines and modern technologies in order to work as in private as well in the public sector and conduct complex tasks. Equipped with factual knowledge and modern skills, the graduates will quickly orient in a dynamic and changing environment and adapt to this environment; they will acknowledge the role of elaborating and implementing new ideas. Based on graduates’ desire, they can continue studies on the next level (PhD) on the same or related specialization program following the Law on Higher Education of Georgia and university normative acts.

The objective of Automation and Control Systems specialization is to prepare masters who will know of:

fields of fundamental theories;

factual circumstances and ongoing changes;

methods of synthesis and analysis of electrical and electronic circuits, their internationally accepted calculations and modeling applied for programs, designing, constructing, and testing of uninterrupted power supply of modern factories, offices, and buildings;

planning and conducting research independently using new methods and techniques.

Learning Outcomes:

Upon completion graduate will develop the following competencies:
