The Master of Science in Digital Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (DAME) is offered by NOVA School of Science and Technology | FCT NOVA in close partnership with the industry community.
DAME master's degree will train engineering professionals with a multidisciplinary vision of the industry of the future. It is built around the concepts of smart and intelligent manufacturing (I4.0), supported by new digital technologies, manufacturing and logistics processes.
Objectives
DAME master's degree aims to:
- Prepare engineering professionals to work in the next generation of industrial environments, supported by new digital technologies, manufacturing and logistical processes.
- Train graduates in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Physics Engineering, and Materials Engineering, with the competencies to meet the challenges of the digital transformation of the industry.
- Give the skills to investigate, conceive, design, optimize, design, implement, operate, maintain, evaluate and manage advanced manufacturing systems supported by digital technology and high added value, in multidisciplinary collaboration environments in a volatile, uncertain environment and complex.
To whom it is intended
The Master in Advanced Digital Fabrication Engineering is intended for holders of a bachelor's degree or legal equivalent in areas of Engineering or Engineering Sciences in general, who want to leverage skills for the new challenges of the Digital Age in industry and research and development (R&D).
Career Opportunities
At the end of the master's degree, students will be able to:
· Design complex work processes and methods, based on digital technology, that allow industrial companies to be more effective and efficient, and to produce goods in the defined quantity, quality, time and place and in safe conditions.
· Manage and control processes and projects for industrial technologies, automation and robotics in manufacturing, in interdisciplinary environments.
· Propose solutions for industrial technologies and automation, technically and economically competitive.
· Design, coordinate and execute projects for industrial technologies and automation.
· Develop R&D projects.
· Have an entrepreneurial spirit, be able to identify ideas and opportunities and understand the challenges of undertaking new technological projects.
· Have the capacity for critical analysis and leadership.
· Know how to work in a team and communicate effectively in a professional and academic environment.
Curriculum
The duration of the master's degree is 2 academic years (4 semesters) with a total of 120 ECTS.
