learning outcomes

The SMACCs Joint Master Programme educates the next generation of engineers and researchers to work in diverse teams, to cross disciplinary and sectorial boundaries and apply advanced technologies related to smart cities and communities across many scales of time and space.

Students will obtain generic competences, such as:

  • Ability and understanding of the needs for life-long learning;
  • Ability of involving in multidisciplinary teams in discussing and solving technical problems;
  • Awareness of importance of administrative requirements, punctuality, and cooperation;
  • Communication abilities;
  • Integration abilities.
  • Foreign language competences
  • Entrepreneurship skills

Students will also obtain the following specific competences:

  • Understanding of the smart cities and communities concept, the inter-relation of parameters and ability to determine key effects from small to large scale;
  • A specialization on a specific filed of the context of ‘smart cities and communities’
  • Ability to develop theoretical and experimental routes to study and solve smart cities and communities problems;
  • Ability to integrate multidisciplinary requirements into a coherent solution combining the knowledge from different fields related to smart cities and communities;
  • Independent thinking, creativity and ability to tackle smart cities and communities problems in teams with individual responsibility;
  • Ability to work as an expert engineer and researcher in multicultural and interdisciplinary teams in the broad filed of energy efficiency on buildings, smart grids, sustainable mobility, energy and urban planning and ICT on smart cities and communities;
  • Acquaintance with the industrial requirements, and specifics of industrial sector and academia;
  • Capability to evaluate, produce and apply scientific information and knowledge about the different specialization problems and solutions to industry;
  • Ability to identify the problem, analyse possible solutions, propose the routes and write clear proposals to achieve the required goals;
  • Ability to communicate with experts from academic and industrial background through written documents, presentations, and discussions;
  • Internships experience at the industrial environment to link the application-related studies with theoretical education backgrounds.
