Knowledge of underlying sciences, core engineering fundamental knowledge, and advanced engineering knowledge
Students with Bachelors of Science or Engineering entering the program have already studied in-depth courses within a certain engineering discipline, e.g.systems engineering, electrical engineering, software engineering or industrial engineering, including at least 22 ECTS credits in mathematics and applied mathematics. In the master´s program there is a possibility to deepen the general engineering skills in optimization, geographical information systems, mobile telecommunication and computer networks. Consequently, an MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to describe, formulate, and analyse industrial and societal problems by using mathematical tools and technological applications.
In-depth knowledge in one/some applied subject areas
The specialization in the master´s programme focuses on planning and management of both traffic systems and logistics system, and on mathematical modelling of these systems using optimization and simulation techniques. Specialization also includes traffic safety management and project management. An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to:
- analyse complex problems based on relevant theory and practical knowledge
- relate and synthesize different theoretical perspectives and develop their own models of analysis
- apply academic principles, models and methodologies in industrial firms
- critically assess methods, procedures and practices that are applied in technology based firms
Personal and professional skills and attributes
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics has the individual and professional capability and attitude to take a leading role in dynamic industrial environments.
Engineering reasoning and problem solving
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to identify, formulate and examine complex engineering problems in a systematic way.
System thinking
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to identify, analyse and develop complex systems by defining the system’s boundaries and properties, considering the whole system as well as subsystems and describing and examining the interaction between the different parts in the system including its important context variables.
Experimentation and knowledge discovery
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to adopt new knowledge by using relevant literature and performing quantitative studies.
Personal skills and attitudes
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to take initiatives, work independently, creatively and to apply critical thinking. Self-knowledge and a will to develop personally throughout life are important. An MSc is also able to plan her/his time and resources in an efficient and effective way.
Professional skills and attitudes
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics takes responsibility, is reliable and acts professionally. This includes being active in career planning and keeping up-to-date with the profession’s current developments.
Interpersonal skills, teamwork, and communication
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is trained to collaboratively work on complex tasks. Interpersonal skills, teamwork and communication are therefore of utmost importance.
Teamwork
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is trained to work together with other people in projects and groups. This includes contributing to group effectiveness by actively taking part, creating clear roles and responsibilities, actively sharing knowledge and collaboratively achieving goals. An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to start, plan, manage and lead different types of projects and integrate the work of people from different specializations.
Communication and communication in English
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to communicate, orally and in writing, in a correct, inspiring way orientated towards achieving goals. Effective communication is comprised of both task-related and relationship oriented skills. As the program is given in English, an MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is proficient enough in English to take into account the state-of-the art knowledge within the field and, based on this knowledge, understand, analyse, compare, and reflect on complex engineering problems, in written text and orally.
Conceiving, designing, implementing and operating systems in the enterprise and societal context
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics has deep knowledge of systems in an innovation or operations environment, including different external factors in society, the prerequisites of the business context. An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to participate and actively contribute to all phases of the development of these systems, including conceiving, designing, implementing and operating them.
External and societal context
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics understands the importance of technology in society, including economic, social, and sustainable development.
Conceiving and engineering systems
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics has the knowledge and skills needed to determine requirements for systems and products and is able to understand and evaluate systems in an industrial context.
Designing
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics has knowledge about suitable development processes for different kinds of systems.
Implementing
An MSc in Intelligent Transport Systems and Logistics is able to design and manage implementation processes by testing, validating and verifying activities, including an understanding of change processes and the formulation of strategies to overcome resistance to change.
