Master's degree in Industrial Engineering

Basic Information

Admission and enrollment

Admission:

The requirements for access to the proposed title are according to article 18, of Royal Decree 822/2021, of September 28:

1. Possession of an official Spanish Graduate or Graduate university degree or equivalent is a condition for accessing a Master's Degree, or, where appropriate, having another University Master's degree, or titles of the same level as the Spanish Bachelor's or Master's degree issued by universities and higher education institutions in an EHEA country that in that country allow access to Master's degrees.
2. In the same way, people in possession of titles from educational systems that are not part of the EHEA, which are equivalent to a Bachelor's degree, will be able to access a Master's Degree in the Spanish university system, without the need for homologation of the title, but verification by of the university of the level of training that they imply, as long as in the country where said title was issued it allows access to university postgraduate level studies. In no case will access through this route imply the homologation of the previous degree held by the person concerned or its recognition for other purposes than that of carrying out the Master's degree.

Candidate selection:

Applications will be assessed by the Master's Academic Committee (CAM), which will take into account the suitability of each applicant's access degree (50%) and their academic record (50%) to assign an access scale.

Offer of places: 60 seats. If the minimum number of students envisaged is not reached in a course, the University may choose not to open the teaching group.

Module IV: Extension and Levelling, AN (maximum of 30 ECTS)

This block must be compulsorily completed by the students of itinerary 2. It is designed to cover the training deficiencies that the student has corresponding to common subjects of the industrial branch previously studied in the Degree or in the previous training complements, taking the degree as a reference. GITI of the URJC, and in no case will it exceed 30 ECTS. It will be defined by the Master's Academic Committee based on the training for access to the master's degree. However, for the ESCET degrees, 9 subjects have been defined with which both the previous training supplements and the subjects of expansion and leveling of the specific itinerary for each degree of the School can be configured (GIOI, Engineering in Industrial Organization ; GIA, Environmental Engineering; GIEne, Energy Engineering; GIMat, Materials Engineering; GIQ, Chemical Engineering):

For access from other degrees in the field of engineering, the Master's Academic Committee will be in charge of preparing the appropriate itinerary (considering the appropriate Training Complements) based on the student's previous training.

Module V: Specialty (maximum of 30 ECTS)

In the specialty module, a set of subjects are offered among which the student must take a maximum of 30 ECTS, and which will reinforce the acquisition of the skills worked on in the compulsory modules. The offer will be grouped into nine Industrial Engineering specialty blocks: Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Energy Sustainability, Environmental Management in Industry, Materials and Manufacturing, Transport Engineering, Advanced Production and Electromechanical Systems.

This module will be taken by students but to a different extent. Itinerary 1 students will take the maximum (30 ECTS), and for Itinerary 2 the number of credits will be equal to the difference between 30 and the number of credits of the Expansion Module that they have to take.

In the event that the student takes 18 ECTS within one of the specialty blocks and develops his Master's Thesis of 12 ECTS in a subject from that same block, said specialty will be reflected in his university degree. If a student takes the necessary credits to cover more than one specialty, she can only have the mention of one of them in her title, as defined by the theme of the Master's Thesis that she carries out.

Table 5.2 shows the specialty subjects offered, grouped into the corresponding nine Specialty Blocks considered. 6 pure Specialties are considered, which offer 3 subjects of 6 ECTS each. They are the following:

• Specialty A: Mechanical Engineering
• Specialty B: Electronic Engineering
• Specialty C: Chemical Engineering
• Specialty D: Energy Sustainability
• Specialty E: Environmental Management in Industry
• Specialty F: Materials and Manufacturing

In addition, 3 Specialties are offered consisting of a combination of subjects from the above:

• Specialty G: Transportation Engineering
• Specialty H: Advanced Production

• Specialty I: Electromechanical Systems

Finally, it is necessary to take into account the close collaboration established between the Rey Juan Carlos University and the University of Alcalá with the “Intelligent Energy” Campus of International Excellence. Among the objectives of this collaboration is to integrate the capacities of both university communities in a training, scientific and professional development offer around Clean Energies and "Smart Cities", which opens a framework for academic collaboration that allows expanding the offer for students of both universities.

In this context, in addition to the specialties offered at the ESCET of the Rey Juan Carlos University, the students of the Master in Industrial Engineering of the URJC will be able to access the optional subjects that the University of Alcalá offers to the students of its Master in Industrial Engineering . These subjects are grouped into two specialties:

• Robotics and perception

• Smart power generation and distribution

In the same way, the students of the Master in Industrial Engineering of the University of Alcalá will be able to access the optional subjects of the Master in Industrial Engineering of the Rey Juan Carlos University.

To facilitate the teaching of these elective subjects, and that students from both Universities can attend without traveling, you can make use of the twin tele-teaching classrooms existing in both Universities and that have been installed with the help of infrastructures from the Campus of International Excellence "Energy Intelligent". Both classrooms have compatible technologies equipped with "streaming" systems to be able to record and retransmit classes in real time. The adaptation and recognition of the credits taken by the students between the two universities will be carried out in accordance with the agreements and regulations in force at both universities.

External Internships

The External Practices subject is a curricular subject whose main objective is to promote a comprehensive training of the student through the practical application of the knowledge acquired during the master's degree, which facilitates direct contact with the professional activity and the opportunity to join the professional world with a minimum of experience. All practices are designed so that the students who participate in them acquire professional experience in real situations and conditions, applying the knowledge, skills and attitudes that are acquired in the training processes throughout the degree. The internships represent a decisive opportunity for the personal development and professional future of the students.

Internships are activities carried out by the student in companies, institutions and organizations; that is, in centers outside the university premises, which aim to enrich and complement your university education, while providing you with a deeper knowledge about the skills you will need once you have graduated.

The External Practices subject will consist of two phases:

• Completion of the internship period that offers professional experience related to any of the graduate profiles that are expressed in the Verification Report of the degree.
• Elaboration of the memory

Mobility programs

University Master's degrees, due to their duration and characteristics, in general do not specifically contemplate the mobility of their students. However, the Rey Juan Carlos University has different mobility programs for both students and University workers (PDI and PAS) and has procedures for collecting and analyzing information on these mobility programs.
