Automatic, precise, controlled, documented, companies are increasingly embarking on the path of automating their processes. Machines that work in an automated way in an industry, projects that seek to convert a manual production line to a modern one, controlled and operated through software and online controls, this is the type of work that those who choose to become Control Engineers can do. and Automation, UTEC's new engineering career. "Control and Automation engineering covers new areas, deepens in basic sciences, electronics, control, automation, as well as makes an introduction to current issues that are already inserted in the industrial environment such as artificial intelligence” commented UTEC professor Cristiano Schuster, interim coordinator of the career. To become an engineer in Control and Automation it is necessary to take five years. After finishing the first three, the students will obtain the title of Technologist in Industrial Mechatronics that is given in Rivera jointly by UTEC, UTU and the Federal Institute of Education, Science and (IFSUL) of Brazil. At the end of this section, two more years follow until culminating with the title of engineer. This possibility is new, it is an engineering that UTEC inaugurates in 2022. According to Schuster, this change represents a great achievement for the institution and is of the utmost importance within the strategic plan of the career "through educational continuity, our students they will have new tools and knowledge to position themselves in the labor market. In addition, with engineering we will have an increase in human resources, which will allow us to expand the range of research, teaching and extension projects, as well as development”, he indicated. Another of the differentials of the new engineering, compared to the Technologist in Industrial Mechatronics, is the expansion of the field of action. "It encompasses the control and automation of processes in general, whether of a mechanical, electrical, thermal or other nature, while the technologist focuses more on electromechanical systems," explained the teacher.
WHAT DOES A PROFESSIONAL IN CONTROL AND AUTOMATION LEARN? Control and Automation Engineering integrates three areas: mechanics, electronics and computing. Those who graduate from this engineering will have the knowledge to install and put into operation automated machinery in industries and services, as well as training in communication project management and design and execution. of automation and control projects.

HOW TO BEGIN TO STUDY THE NEW ENGINEERING To study Control and Automation Engineering at UTEC it is necessary to have a high school education completed in Secondary or DGETP-UTU in areas of science, technology or economics. If you do not have a complete upper secondary education or have completed an option that is not contemplated, but have relevant work experience in the area of the career, there is the possibility of entering by accreditation of knowledge.

THE EXPECTED NEWS Like other students, Fernando Rocha, who in 2021 graduated as a Technologist in Industrial Mechatronics at ITR Norte, anxiously awaited this news to continue his studies towards engineering at UTEC. “For me it is a great motivation. It is a new challenge and a great opportunity to complete my undergraduate studies without leaving Rivera” he commented. Source: UTEC
