Study programme aims and objectives
The speciality of computer and systems engineering is a combination of computer hardware, Show more...
computer systems and software engineering. Graduates acquire the education of a computer, system or software engineer, depending on the chosen optional subjects and the topic of master thesis. The speciality teaches and trains specialists of technical systems designing, realization, implementation, management and development based on computer systems. The aforementioned technical systems include systems in the fields of banking, controlling and monitoring aviation and shipping, environmental monitoring, diagnostics, automation and computer control of technological apparatus and processes, cashing, security and alert systems of buildings and technological systems. The acquired knowledge allows the graduates to be employed as computer, system or software engineers by companies and organizations designing, developing, implementing and managing computer networks and computer based systems. Acquired theoretical knowledge is adequate to pursue studies as a doctorate and make a career as a researcher or lecturer.
Study program objectives are as follows:
1) to prepare specialist with master degree who can work as computer, systems, or software engineers if companies and organizations designing and/or using information and communication technologies;
2) to give systematic overview and broad knowledge about terminology, theories, research methods and technologies of computer and systems engineering field;
3) to give deeper engineering knowledge in selected narrower fields;
4) to give skills to independently and creatively identify problems, to formulate tasks and to solve them in the field of computer and systems engineering;
5) to guide civil activity, ethical beliefs and tolerance attitudes of graduates toward exposure with diverse values;
6) to persuade graduates that an engineer in the field of computer and systems engineering can fulfill professional requirements only with the help of life-long learning.
