Description

The appeal of this degree lies in the characteristics of the two basic subjects that make it up: Automation and Industrial Electronics. These subjects have driven a major change in economic activity owing to the greater presence of automation and intelligence in increasingly complex processes and products, supported by computing and communications. Today a production line is inconceivable without a high degree of automation and management through computerised methods integrated at several levels.

Today's products and systems tend towards greater functionality and precision, based on the integration of computing components, sensors and microelectronics. This is the field of action of the Bachelor's Degree in Industrial Electronics and Automation Engineering.
