Course areas include robotics and automation, managing digital supply chains, advanced product design and life cycle management, decision support for advanced manufacturing, big data analytics for digital manufacturing and leading the digital enterprise.
Listen to the UCD faculty the Associate Dean of UCD College of Engineering, Associate Professor Vincent Hargaden and Associate Professor Nikolaos Papakostas addressing the challenges of the new Digital Manufacturing and the need for upskilling through accredited flexible courses delivered by leading institutions.
".Right now, there is a very large gap in terms of the engineering skills required to address the challenges of the new digital manufacturing era.Engineers and scientists should invest a considerable amount of time on comprehending the new business and manufacturing paradigm, on using advanced digital technologies, smart automation, big data processing and AI tools, as well as computer aided platforms."
