Ph.D.Design Engineering and Mechatronics
The Design Engineering and Mechatronics doctoral study programme aims at educating professionals having specific knowledge and skills and being capable of creating new original outcomes in R&D to turn such into commercial practice. In addition, some of the programme graduates are expected to continue in the basic research and to support its international competitiveness in mechanical engineering.
Graduate profile
Design Engineering and Mechatronics graduates are capable of carrying out research & development to consequently transfer the interdisciplinary insights to the industry, particularly in construction and overall design of transport machinery and equipment of various types, manufacturing machines and equipment, robots, manipulators, instrumentation and other equipment. The graduates become professionals possessing profound and sought-after knowledge and skills in new machine and device design, supported by experience from scientific and research activities. Also, they are able to respond to current market needs with regard to the implementation of Industry 4.0, mechatronics, modern sensors, additive technology, smart transportation or space technology. Relying on the key competences learned, they are able to develop and apply the gained knowledge and skills beyond the framework of the narrower professional focus of their specific doctoral research.
Doctoral graduates possess profound knowledge to complete the most challenging research tasks as well as experience with the latest experimental and diagnostic methods and world-class pilot and operating equipment. This allows them to tackle complex tasks in development of new technology and equipment on a theoretical level as well as to experimentally verify their conclusions by designing and realizing experimental equipment, conducting an evaluation and producing generalized results. Given the complexity of the latest technology that the education focuses on, emphasis is placed on strengthening the links among the particular areas of the doctoral study programme as well as on fostering interdisciplinary connections on the level of related fields. Relying on this knowledge, graduates are able to comprehensively solve, objectively evaluate and formulate the attained original results of scientific research assignments. Also, they are able to present or realize the same on an international scale, taking into account intellectual property issues. Programme graduates are suitable candidates for jobs in the field of industrial research and development, new technology design and implementation, and management of complex industrial systems. Other opportunities can be found in the academic sector and other institutions focused on science, R&D and innovations on the national and international level.
