Why this postgraduate course?
Modelling enables physical objects to be transferred to the digital world, and simulation techniques used to create "Digital Twins," which are used in high-speed experiments with no physical risk, as well as providing educational, training and support environments for operations through augmented reality and automatic learning (Machine Learning). These can be combined with elements of process modelling, creating a digital value chain. Both the physical world and the simulated world are sources for the generation of large volumes of data (Big Data).

Industry 4.0 is the body of knowledge formulated by the Fourth Industrial Revolution - the result of the combination between the physical and digital world. Its inevitability is the result of the constant increase in customised demand from markets, which is forcing companies to rethink their production and logistics systems.

The worlds of IT and OT have existed side by side, sharing limited spheres of interaction, and following parallel lives. The demand for cyberphysical systems means that walls that have been in place for decades must be demolished, leading to "IT/OT convergence", which is one of the major challenges posed by Industry 4.0. The figure of the CDO (Chief Digital Officer), also known as the Head of Digital Transformation, is an emerging hybrid professional profile in today's organisation charts. A cross-sectoral approach is one of the motifs of the contemporary world, and Industry 4.0, and Fortune magazine highlights the unstoppable nature of the demand for hybrid professional profiles (Hybrid Jobs).

The main objective of the programme is to train professionals to be able to understand the difficulties and complexities of the world of Industry 4.0 in a cross-disciplinary manner from the physical world to the digital world, applying simulation as a basic tool in the process. The participants will obtain the knowledge necessary to develop cybernetic system models for Industry 4.0 and Digital Twins.
Aims
  • Understand the problems of Industry 4.0 and digital transformation processes.
  • Practice with cutting-edge simulation tools.
  • Create "Digital Twins" for industrial elements and processes.
  • Use 3D modelling systems.
  • Identify the most appropriate automatic learning models and the statistical and operational Research techniques for a specific problem.
  • Be able to perform pre-processing of data and identify Big Data approaches.
  • Use systems modelling and statistical validation systems and tools and be able to verify and validate the proposed models.
Who is it for?
  • Operations Technology Professionals wishing to enhance their IT knowledge base in the field of data processing, modelling and simulation for Industry 4.0.
  • Information Technologies Professionals wishing to acquire knowledge of the OT world of industrial process modelling.
  • Graduates in engineering (computer, telecommunications, industrial, agricultural, civil engineering, etc.), physics, mathematics and statistics.

Learning methodology

The teaching methodology of the programme facilitates the student's learning and the achievement of the necessary competences.



Learning tools
Participatory lectures
A presentation of the conceptual foundations of the content to be taught, promoting interaction with the students to guide them in their learning of the different contents and the development of the established competences.
Practical classroom sessions
Knowledge is applied to a real or hypothetical environment, where specific aspects are identified and worked on to facilitate understanding, with the support from teaching staff.
Solving exercises
Solutions are worked on by practising routines, applying formulas and algorithms, and procedures are followed for transforming the available information and interpreting the results.
Case studies
Real or hypothetical situations are presented in which the students, in a completely participatory and practical way, examine the situation, consider the various hypotheses and share their own conclusions.
Success stories
Outstanding business knowledge and experiences with high added value acquired during an outstanding professional career are presented and shared.
Problem-based learning (PBL)
An active learning methodology that enables the student to be involved from the beginning, and to acquire knowledge and skills by considering and resolving complex problems and situations.
Flipped classroom
The contents are prepared prior to the face-to-face lessons. Practical sessions take place in the classroom, which enable understanding and application of concepts to real cases and the expansion of knowledge with more technical and specialised details.
Tutorship
Students are given technical support in the preparation of the final project, according to their specialisation and the subject matter of the project.
Workshops
Students are supported when undertaking group work, including theoretical sessions which provide the tools and knowledge needed to achieve a result. Ideas and results are exchanged between all the participating groups.
Assessment criteria
Attendance
At least 80% attendance of teaching hours is required.
Level of participation
The student's active contribution to the various activities offered by the teaching team is assessed.
Solving exercises, questionnaires or exams
Individual tests aimed at assessing the degree of learning and the acquisition of competences.
Work out projects
Studies on a specific topic, by individuals or groups, in which the quality and depth of the work is assessed, among other factors.
Work placements & employment service
Students can access job offers in their field of specialisation on the My_Tech_Space virtual campus. Applications made from this site will be treated confidentially. Hundreds of offers of the UPC School of Professional & Executive Development employment service appear annually. The offers range from formal contracts to work placement agreements.
Virtual campus
The students on this postgraduate course will have access to the My_ Tech_Space virtual campus - an effective platform for work and communication between the course's students, lecturers, directors and coordinators. My_Tech_Space provides the documentation for each training session before it starts, and enables students to work as a team, consult lecturers, check notes, etc.
