The purpose of the educational program 8D071"Control of technical systems" is recreate  the conditions of effective educational process for the formation and development of personal, socio-cultural, professional competencies in the field of management of technical systems and automation of production and technological processes and production. 

Relavance

Modern production and technical systems consist of a number of complex interacting subsystems – a robotic technological and automated power plants, combined into a single technical system, as well as systems for their management, automation, information, digitalization. The high level of technological effectiveness of modern technical systems in terms of a single process or the entire production requires the management of various parameters: technology, safety, reliability, quality, etc.

The development of control systems for complex technical objects concerns not only the new production facilities, but also the introduction of control elements in existing processes and production without compromising the quality, reliability and efficiency of operation. To implement all stages from design to operation, it is important to train scientific personnel capable of large-scale thinking, having a broad outlook on the problems of technology and technologies, having the skills to apply fundamental knowledge to solve scientific and practical problems.

Competitive advantage
