Overview

The Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing previous “People and Robots for Sustainable Work” is a Master of Science level programme within the EIT Manufacturing (EITM) Master School. The EITM Master School is a highly prestigious Manufacturing Engineering and Science education provider on 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 EIT Manufacturing 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 double degree and the EIT Manufacturing Certificate.

Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing previous “People and Robots for Sustainable Work” is a combination of studying manufacturing science including physics of robotic systems, control system automation including exploiting the design freedoms enabled for more customized manufacturing processes, and production management. During the programme students will gain new skills in these areas.

In manufacturing science, relevant fields include robot and manufacturing process modelling, control and automation.
In design engineering, relevant fields are robot kinematics and dynamics, trajectory optimization, process physics simulation, people interaction in manufacturing and sustainable design engineering.
In production management, relevant fields include digitalization and quality.

Students learn the latest theoretical knowledge and know how to apply their skills in practical real-life problems. Typical application areas of PRSW include heavy duty manufacturing, rapid prototyping, digital twins and autonomous systems.

A student who graduates from the Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing shall:

  • have broad knowledge of theories and concepts in urban planning, transport and sustainability, and its disciplinary foundations, proven experience in working with methodological knowledge in the area of manufacturing challenges, and a considerable degree of specialised knowledge of multidisciplinary decision support systems for manufacturing.
  • 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 in PR 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;
  • be able to turn innovations in the area into feasible and successful business solutions;
  • be able to profitably work in small size teams and contexts by taking into account all relevant elements and showing effective decision-making and leadership abilities.

Programme structure

The first year is spent at one university (entry) and second year at another (exit) university in two different European countries. There is a choice of 2 entry points and 1 exit point.

The following universities provide an entry year (first year):

  • Mondragon Unibertsitatea (MU), Spain
  • University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI), Switzerland

The following parties provide an exit year (second year):

  • Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien), Austria
  • University Tartu (TARTU), Estonia

Possible educational paths to choose from (combinations):

Combination number ENTRY University (YEAR 1) EXIT University (YEAR 2)
Combination 1 MU (Spain) TU Wien (Austria)
Combination 2 MU (Spain) (UTARTU), Estonia
Combination 3 SUPSI (Switzerland) TU Wien (Austria)

EIT Manufacturing reserve the right to change the entry and exit university of this programme

The two years programme (120 ECTS) includes an Innovation and Entrepreneurship (I&E) Module (30 ECTS) and a Technical Major Module (90 ECTS) structured as follows:

  • 45 ECTS for Host Programme technical courses
  • 15 ECTS for Host Programme AM specialization courses
  • 30 ECTS for the I&E Module courses
  • 30 ECTS for the Master thesis

Students are committed to collect a total of 40-50 ECTS related to the Technical Major and of 10-20 ECTS related to the I&E Module in the first year (60 ECTS total) whereas in the second year they are committed to collect 10-20 ECTS for the Technical Major, 10-20 ECTS for the I&E Module and 30 ECTS for the Master Thesis Project (60 ECTS total). The total of technical courses and specialization courses must be 60 ECTS, within the boundaries above. All Master School education will be held in English and all partner universities are assumed to use ECTS units.

NOTE: Each university can have, in addition to the general programme above, compulsory requirements for the student study plan, such us mandatory local language courses. You you will be informed by your university about this.

DEGREES and EIT Label Certificate

At the end of the EIT Manufacturing Human-Robot Interaction for Sustainable Manufacturing programme of 120 ECTS, students will get two degrees from each entry and exit university, according to the following list:

  • TARTU: Master of Science in Engineering (Robotics and Computer Engineering) => 120 ECTS degree
  • MU: Máster Universitario en Robótica y Sistemas de Control. Master of Science. Official State Gazette (BOE-A-2019-18019) => 90 ECTS degree
  • SUPSI: Master of Science (MS) in Engineering, University of Applied Sciences and Arts of southern Switzerland (SUPSI) => 90 ECTS degree
  • TU Wien: Diplomingenieur/Master of Science (presently the involvement on TU Wien is based on the existing program in Manufacturing and Robotics – Master programme UE 066517 – 120 ECTS degree

In addition to the National Accredited degrees, the students receive the EIT Label Certificate, documenting the EIT accreditation and high quality of the programme.

Career opportunities

The EIT Manufacturing Master School will prepare you for high level technical positions, Innovation roles and business profiles, including the capability to create your own start-up. It will allow you to create a professional network at national and international level through the several initiatives and the EIT alumni communities.

The degrees also grant you the eligibility (120 ECTS degrees only) for post graduate doctoral studies, eventually to be done at EIT Manufacturing Doctoral School.
