Aim:
The course is structured in two parts. After completing the first part the students should be able to:
�?� describe the main concepts and working methods of scientific work;
�?� have knowledge of qualitative and quantitative methods;
�?� criticize scientific works;
�?� search for and critically evaluate information sources;
�?� and evaluate the context in which their own project will be developed.
The course specific objectives are:
�?� to develop a broader knowledge concerning the current automation technology;
�?� to develop the ability of making use of that technology in the planning, design and implementation of automation solutions;
�?� to develop programming skills concerning the use of automation languages (not limited to but including IEC 61131 and IEC 61499);
�?� and understand the emerging technological trends concerning automation technology.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Production Engineering, Industrial automation
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is given during one study period. Theory is addressed during the introductory lectures. Experimental work is performed in the project work under supervision. An Industrial project task is the main subject. The results shall be presented to the involved companies.
The first part of the course will be evaluated through a written reflection document to be produced by the students. The second part will be evaluated through a written technical report where the students detail the technical solution and contextualize it the current state-of-the-art and practice in automation.

Course contents:
The content of the course is to engage the students in the development of industrial automation projects.
In this context, the students will be exposed to the cross technological work that is fundamental in the automation of industrial systems of different scales.
After finishing the course the students should have acquired enough experience to actively contribute to the projection, design and implementation of automated manufacturing/production systems using a sound scientific methodology.
Automation has been traditionally a practitioner-oriented domain. In this context, some of the technical solutions have resulted from expert knowledge rather from a sound methodological approach. The students are therefore expected to apply the proper scientific methodology when developing their projects.
