The R7008E-Industrial Automation course, with 7.5 HE credits, at Luleå University of Technology and the Department of Computer Science, Space and Electrical Engineering Department, is an obligatory course in the Computer Science Master Program on System Automation and is being provided in LP4 of each year.
The aim of the course is to provide an extended overview and fundamental knowledge in the field of Industrial Automation, while building the necessary knowledge level for further specialization in advanced concepts of Industrial Automation. For achieving this objective, the main focus and teaching model of the course is the learning by constant hands on experimentation and problem solving from real life examples. More specifically a series of lectures will be combined with experimental laboratory assignments (small scale setups), and automation problem solving from real life applications.
The course has been designed for both undergraduate and graduate students, while the expected learning outcome is the ability for an engineer to: a) understand basic concepts in the industrial instrumentation and actuation field, b) design, synthesize and implement classical industrial automation systems (relay based), and c) get familiar with the PLC based industrial automation systems. The provided knowledge and the achievement of the learning objectives will create the fundamental engineering background for dealing with applications in the Industrial Sector.
