Industrial Engineering (IE)

The study programme Industrial Engineering at the Doctoral level is intended for applicants who will be able to work independently in the field of design, efficiency improvement and optimization of business processes and systems, as well as in the field of their digitization for the needs of Industry 4.0. Students improve the skills acquire at the Bachelors level such as software support design, technical preparation of production, 3D technologies, modelling and simulation of production, logistics processes and systems, as well as in ergonomics. Furthermore, students have the opportunity to work with the latest technologies from the field of reverse engineering, such as 3D scanning and 3D printing, the fields of virtual and mixed reality, as well as digital enterprise and digital twin. As part of their study activities, Doctoral students participate in scientific research activities, publication of scientific research, conferences, workshops, as well as professional training within their scientific profile. They also participate in the education of students at the lower levels of university studies, as well as Bachelor’s and Master’s thesis consultation. As a part of their scientific profile, they have the opportunity to work in specialized laboratories (Testbed 4.0, etc.) and in companies of industrial practice, with which the Institute of Management, Industrial and Digital Engineering cooperates.

The FME gave me a lot of knowledge, which I often use at work, e.g. basics of design, programming of machines, technologies, etc. Industrial Engineering is an excellent study programme which I recommend to other students who want to know more about material flow, economics and business management.

After completing three study levels at the FME in the study programme Industrial Engineering, I gained a lot of valuable knowledge and experience, which I use every day at work. At the same time, I would like to highlight the professional equipment of laboratories, the professional approach of lecturers and the interesting internships abroad.
