Automation engineering
Automation engineering is a field of science combining engineering and the management of information, so that different systems can work effectively in every aspect such as cost of production, quality of products, safety of work, environment and ability to adjust production rates to respond to the demands of the market, as well as the administration and management in the industry.
Automation engineer
Automation engineers are experts who have the knowledge and ability to design, create, develop and manage systems, for example, factory automation, process automation as well as building and home automation to make the systems work by themselves or require a minimum number of personnel.
Learning about
Automation engineering is the integration between standard engineering fields and management Information technology. engine and management information technology means information technology, communication, networking management and information management.
Work and career after graduation
Graduates can work for both government and private sector entities such as industrial production, companies that create and use automation systems, for example paper industry, automotive industry or food and agricultural industry. Graduates can work on other systems that are not industries such as building and home automation ( which use computer controlled energy and security through a communication system called building and home automation)
