Overview
The Platforms for digitalized value Networks (PD) programme is a Master of Science level programme within the EIT Manufacturing Master School. The EITM Master School is a highly prestigious Manufacturing Engineering and Science education provider on an advanced level with a focus on Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E). The education at EIT Manufacturing Master School combines technical competence with skills in Innovation and Entrepreneurship. EIT Manufacturing Master School students will be an elite group of forthcoming engineers, operators, innovators, and other relevant professionals. The EITM Master School students will:
- improve their knowledge on up to date manufacturing innovation and learn
how to turn this knowledge into successful business; - take part in events such as Summer Schools and Kick-offs;
- exchange ideas with business partners and researchers at Co-Locations Centres (CLC) and during internships;
- have access to renowned European research facilities;
- earn a double degree and the EIT Manufacturing Certificate.
Platforms for digitalized value Networks programme is a combination of studying manufacturing science including the usage and adoption of advanced digital solutions and platforms. During the programme, students will gain new skills in these areas.
In Platforms for digitalized value Networks, relevant fields include modelling and simulation, virtual prototyping, system engineering, industrial processes and operations.
Students learn the latest theoretical knowledge and know how to apply their skills in practical real-life problems. Typical application areas of Platforms for digitalized values networks: Cyber-physical systems (CPS), Information system management, digital monitoring
A student who graduates from the Platforms for digitalized value Networks Master shall:
- have broad knowledge of theories and concepts in Cyber-physical systems (CPS), Information system management, digital monitoring
- be able to critically, independently and creatively participate in strategic work to meet manufacturing-related problems and to be able to relate these measures to sustainable social development,
- be able to implement the gained engineering expertise to create new or improved methods, techniques, products, and services in the field;
- be able to think beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries to find innovative solutions to real-world problems and to come up with new ideas;
- be able to draw up plans and to make decisions foreseeing future consequences from a scientific, ethical, and societal perspective;
