European master in Computer Science for the Human-Centric and Sustainable Industry

DIPLOMAS

Upon successful completion of the degree program outlined in this document and meeting the requirements of applicable national legislations, students will receive a master's degree. The degree is jointly awarded by UBU, UVT and IPC, featuring signatures from their legal representatives and displaying the names and official logos of all Consortium Partners.

Additionally, if a student has completed 60 ECTS at HAW or Turku UAS, they will receive a separate diploma, issued physically or electronically by each Partner. This diploma will be accompanied by a certificate confirming the completion of the Erasmus Mundus Master Degree in Computer Science for the Human-Centric and Sustainable Industry (EMaCS).

The diploma specifies the specialty accredited by each Partner, determined by the institution where the student completes 60 ECTS (30 ECTS of the course and 30 ECTS of the Final Master's Project). The specialties include:

• Operational and Business Intelligence taught by UBU.
• Autonomous and Intelligent Systems taught by HAW.
• Cybersecure Systems taught by Turku UAS.
• Cloud and Edge Computing taught by UVT.
• Big Data Analytics taught by IPC.

Each master's degree is complemented by a European Diploma Supplement containing detailed information about the student's academic track.

COMPETENCES

The list of competences that all students enrolled in EMaCs must develop to get the degree will be the following:

• C1. AQUIRING DATA, INFORMATION AND DIGITAL CONTENT: To know and manage sets of devices that command and manage the performance and behaviour of other equipment and systems, including Industrial control systems (ICS) which are used for industrial production and manufacturing.
• C2. BROWSING, SEARCHING AND FILTERING DATA, INFORMATION AND DIGITAL CONTENT: To articulate information needs, to search for data, information and content in digital environments, to access them and to navigate between them. To create and update personal search strategies.
• C3. MANAGING AND EVALUATING DATA, INFORMATION AND DIGITAL CONTENT: To organise, store and retrieve data or information. To process them in a structured environment. To analyse, compare and critically evaluate the credibility and reliability of sources of data, information and digital content. To analyse, interpret and critically evaluate the data, information and digital content.
• C4. INTEGRATING AND RE-ELABORATING INFORMATION and DIGITAL CONTENT: To modify, refine and integrate new information and content into an existing body of knowledge and resources to create new, original and relevant content and knowledge.
• C5. PROGRAMMING: To plan and develop a sequence of understandable instructions for a computing system to solve a given problem or to perform a specific task.
• C6. USING MACHINE LEARNING AND A.I. TECHNIQUES: To use techniques and algorithms that are able to extract mastery out of data, learn from it and make predictions, to be used for program optimisation, application adaptation, pattern recognition, filtering, search engines, computer vision, etc. Acquisition of theoretical and practical skills for the analysis and design of business solutions including storage and processing of large volumes of heterogeneous information.
• C7. PROTECTING PERSONAL DATA AND PRIVACY: To protect personal data and privacy in digital environments. To understand how to use and share personally identifiable information while being able to protect oneself and others from damages. To understand that digital services use a “Privacy policy” to inform how personal data is used.
• C8. PROTECTING HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: To be able to avoid health-risks and threats to physical and psychological well-being while using digital technologies. To be able to protect oneself and others from possible dangers in digital environments. To be aware of digital technologies for social well-being and social inclusion. Assess the consequences and impact of ideas, opportunities and actions.
• C9. REFLECTING ON ETHICAL OUTCOMES: Capacity to monitor the practices of organisations and companies with regard to ethics and impact on the larger community.
• C10. EXPLORATORY AND CRITICAL THINKING: To adopt a relational way of thinking by exploring and linking different disciplines, using creativity and experimentation with novel ideas or methods and reflect on how personal, social and cultural backgrounds influence thinking and conclusions and eventually shape the final form of the technologies/services created.
• C11. PROBLEM FRAMING: To formulate current or potential challenges as technical and sustainability problems in terms of difficulty, people involved, time and geographical scope, in order to identify suitable approaches to anticipating and preventing problems, and to mitigating and adapting to already existing problems.
• C12. IDENTIFYING NEEDS AND TECHNOLOGICAL RESPONSES: To assess needs and to identify, evaluate, select and use digital tools and possible technological responses and to solve them. To adjust and customise digital environments to personal needs (e.g. accessibility).
• C13. CREATIVELY USING DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: To use digital tools and technologies to create knowledge and to innovate processes and products. To engage individually and collectively in cognitive processing to understand and resolve conceptual problems and problem situations in digital environments.
• C14. SOLVING TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: To identify technical problems when operating devices and using digital environments, and to solve them (from trouble-shooting to solving more complex problems).
• C15. MANAGING SYSTEMS and/or PROJECTS: To prepare, strategically plan, direct, coordinate and manage projects technically and economically projects in interdisciplinary areas that intersect with computer engineering and industrial management following quality and environmental criteria.
• C16. WORKING WITH OTHERS: Team up, collaborate and network. Work smoothly and operate fluently in a multicultural environment.
• C17. COMMUNICATING EFFECTIVELY: Ability to communicate through reading, writing, speaking and listening in the mother tongue and/or in a foreign language.
• C18. COLLABORATING THROUGH DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES: To use digital tools and technologies for collaborative processes, and for co-construction and co-creation of data, resources and knowledge.

The learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and attitudes/values) develop by the enrolled students have been described on the teaching guide of each subject.
