Faculty of Informatics and Control Systems
The Bachelor’s Educational Program in “Control Systems, Automation and Test Engineering” aims to prepare highly qualified and competitive professionals for modern industries operating in Georgia, including energy facilities, food and processing industries, light manufacturing, transportation systems, the defense industry, as well as other modern production facilities and companies where advanced control systems, automation, and quality control technologies are implemented.
The program is designed to be completed in three years. The Bachelor’s Educational Program in “Control Systems, Automation and Test Engineering” incorporates both engineering disciplines and general university courses. The program covers modern sensors, microcontrollers, the operation and working principles of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), robotics technologies, and various programming languages, including Python, C, C++, and C#. Students also study modern control and automation systems, technologies for their design and implementation, and related fields.
Depending on their specialization, graduates of the program may pursue careers in modern manufacturing facilities, as well as in relevant companies and organizations. More broadly, they may work in any industry where the installation, operation, maintenance, development, and implementation of modern technological equipment, programmable production process control systems, process control and automation systems, emerging production technologies, software, and computer systems are carried out.
Third compulsory subject: Mathematics or Physics.
Georgian and foreign language: English, German, French, Russian.
