Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The course will introduce students to the issues of information and communication technologies used in engineering practice.
Learning outcomes
A graduate of the course can define and explain the goals and purpose of information systems, knows their classification and has an overview of the operation and architecture of production management systems (MES). The graduate is familiar with new trends in information technology (Big data, IoT...) and has basic knowledge of data collection, processing and visualization from technological processes. It also includes an introduction to the security of information systems, their design and projecting.
