Computer engineering of transport systems

Goals of the Educational Programme

The goal of learning through the program is to obtain knowledge, skills for engineering, creating and maintaining computer systems, networks and their components, servicing computer systems and networks, creating system and application programs as part of a functional, procedural and object-oriented approach for desktops, mobile, portable, embedded and cloud systems, engineering transport circuit devices.

Students study algorithms and data structures, hardware and software components of computer systems and networks, system software (operating systems, utilities, tools for creating and researching programs), tooling methods, transmission, conversion and data storage; circuitry of modern computer systems for the transport complex needs.

Recipients of the Educational Programme

The program is addressed to applicants interested in acquiring of knowledge in computer engineering of transport systems.

The program will be useful for those who are primarily interested in transport information technologies, computer systems, who plan to engage in modern computer technologies in the transport industry. A feature of the program is commitment to the introduction of new systems and computer-integrated technologies at the enterprises of the transport complex.
