The objectives of education in the Innovative Technologies and Advanced Materials programme include acquiring knowledge in fundamental disciplines such as mathematics, physics and chemistry; engineering education in areas including engineering graphics, mechatronics, fundamentals of machine design, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer simulations in engineering applications; as well as practical knowledge related to the implementation of material innovations in industry.

The programme is intended for individuals interested in innovative technologies and materials, as well as in technical and technological progress, and for those who wish to understand the operation of modern devices and systems and, in the future, contribute to their development. Graduates are also prepared to continue their education in second-cycle studies. The Innovative Technologies and Advanced Materials programme offers two specialisations:

1. Virtual Prototyping
2. Sustainable Energy Technologies

The objective of education in the Virtual Prototyping specialisation is to familiarise students with techniques that enhance the product development and implementation process. These techniques involve the application of reverse engineering, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided engineering (CAE), understood as the use of software tools to verify and validate a design prior to its physical manufacture.

This is achieved through the development of a virtual 3D model and the simulation of its behaviour under real operating conditions. Engineers are thus able to rapidly evaluate the quality and efficiency of multiple alternative designs without the time and financial investment required to produce physical prototypes. The final stage of the product implementation process involves manufacturing using numerically controlled (CNC) machine tools or producing the product in the form of a 3D print.

The objective of education in the Sustainable Energy Technologies specialisation is to acquire knowledge and skills related to the design, analysis and implementation of energy technologies that support sustainable development. The specialisation covers issues related to energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and modern methods of energy management.

Students learn to conduct energy audits, analyse materials in terms of their sustainability, and design hybrid energy systems that integrate various energy sources. An important element of the educational process is also familiarisation with nuclear energy technologies, as well as the design of photovoltaic and solar thermal systems.

Graduates of the Virtual Prototyping specialisation possess the knowledge and skills required to work in companies and departments involved in product design and implementation, as well as in the preparation of machining processes using advanced numerically controlled machines.

Graduates of the Sustainable Energy Technologies specialisation may find employment as renewable energy engineers and renewable energy specialists, energy auditors, specialists in hybrid energy systems and energy storage, energy efficiency consultants, as well as experts in the field of the circular economy.
