Advanced course on Engineering for Intelligent Manufacturing

General Objectives of the Course

Engineering for Intelligent Manufacturing is one of the most transversal, integrative and collaborative areas, since it encompasses all actors of the production process, from manufacturing, to computational models and life cycle. In PhD in the area is essential the presence of various knowledge, from a Science and Technology (Mechanical Engineering, Electronic and Computational Physics) to Economics and Management, for be sustained and sustainable. The course will create a bridge between scientific knowledge and industrial technologies, in order to create as appropriate interfaces for disruptive transformations that will occur in the short term in the manufacturing of components, in particular in the metal-mechanical industry. The objective is to provide professionals the resources to assume the role of R & D catalysts in an industrial environment, imbued with the new concepts / practices associated with the so-called 4th industrial revolution.
