Automation and Electrical Engineering
Initially, the words programmable logic controllers, frequency converters, servo motor control equipment, sensors may sound like spells to you, but soon you can become an automation professional – to be able to design energy supply and automation systems, install, maintain and repair them yourself.
The programme is interdisciplinary, so you will have really interesting studies in the subjects of electrical and electronic engineering. You should be into science, love technology and be determined to become a qualified professional. Modern Siemens, Festo, Schneider Electric electrical and electronic devices and systems are used in studies.
Employment opportunities for the graduates of the Automatics and Electrical Engineering Study Programme are so abundant that it is difficult to pick one – thats what our graduates say.
Studies at Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija can be combined with work – both in full-time and part-time mode. Individual needs are acommodated on a case-by-case basis.
Why in Šiaulių valstybinė kolegija?
Students learn to automate production processes and work with modern electronic devices and their systems. Practical classess are held in an updated Technological Processes Automation laboratory. The employment prospects of graduates, i.e. specialists in the automation of technological lines, are particularly good.
