27.04.03 System Analysis and Control

The educational program trains strong specialists who are able to create and manage smart systems. It combines deep theory and real practical skills. You will learn how to work with modern computer and intelligent technologies to develop software for managing cyber-physical systems for various purposes.

• The educational process will be based on the principle of combining adherence to academic traditions of training highly qualified engineering personnel and the use of innovative scientific approaches in the field of analysis and synthesis of cyberphysical systems.
• The success of the implementation of this principle is associated with the mobilization of human resources and scientific potential of the ICTIB, with the modernization of the educational and laboratory base and with the involvement of students in the work of the student laboratory "Cybernetics".
• The inclusion of author's courses and creative projects in the curricula, the orientation of training towards obtaining practical skills in the research and design of cyberphysical systems, and the widespread use of modern computer technologies in the educational process will contribute to achieving the declared goal.
• Undergraduates will have the opportunity to complete industrial and postgraduate internships in the following partner organizations: JSC Taganrog Aviation Scientific and Technical Complex named after G.M. Beriev; JSC Scientific Design Bureau of Computing Systems; Special Astronomical Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences (SAO RAS), etc.
• Undergraduates will be given the opportunity to complete internships at specialized enterprises and participate in scientific and educational schools according to the program profile.

Graduates are in demand at enterprises of the military-industrial complex, mechanical engineering, instrument engineering, energy and transport, in scientific organizations, data processing centers, design bureaus and IT companies.

It is already impossible to imagine the life of a modern person without "smart" devices and machines, which are the result of a software and hardware symbiosis of computing modules, communications, sensors and actuators. Recently, a term has appeared that distinguishes "smart" devices, productions and technologies into a separate class of cyberphysical systems (CFS). The scope of application of the CFS extends to almost all types of human activity, including a wide variety of industrial systems, unmanned vehicles, energy and military systems, all types of life support systems from medicine to smart homes and cities. The purpose of the master's program is to train highly qualified researchers who combine deep theoretical knowledge and practical skills, possess modern computer and cognitive technologies and are able to solve a wide range of tasks related to the development of software and algorithmic support for managing CFS of various applications. The educational process will be based on the principle of combining adherence to the academic traditions of training highly qualified engineering personnel and the use of innovative scientific approaches in the field of analysis and synthesis of cyberphysical systems. The success of the implementation of this principle is associated with the mobilization of human resources and scientific potential of the ICTIB, with the modernization of the educational and laboratory base and with the involvement of students in the work of the student laboratory "Cybernetics".
