Sustainable Engineering
Description
If you enjoy strategy games and care about the environment we live in today and tomorrow, Sustainable Engineering is the perfect fit for you. This program provides opportunities to acquire competencies highly sought after in the job market – the ability to implement digital engineering innovations in biological systems (nature) and efficiently employ robots – where a robot does the work and you simply monitor it.
The program combines engineering with computer science, developing skills to design production technologies using engineering tools and digital technology methods, communicate with robots and drones, utilize smart engineering systems and artificial intelligence applications to modernize production, create sustainable tools for agricultural production and organic waste management, and address resource conservation and climate change mitigation.

This is a very promising specialty, preparing future specialists who will need to "find a common language" with robots. The labor market is in dire need of educated specialists in smart technologies who can create value for the company.
Albinas Šulinskas, program partner, general director of the Swedish company UAB "DeLaval".
The agricultural sector is undergoing a revolution: integrated solutions using large amounts of data, their analysis and application for more sustainable and efficient work – this is our present and the only future. The work of a precision farming specialist is an opportunity to create change together with the most advanced companies in the country.
Diana Tatarūnaitė-Zubenienė, director of UAB "DOJUS agro".
There is a significant shortage of agro-engineering specialists in the modernizing agricultural sector, who are capable of achieving more with less. The acquired knowledge and developed skills in making smart sustainable engineering decisions and applying them in production allow for the reduction of ever-increasing production resources, generating higher profits while simultaneously protecting the environment.
Marius Kazlauskas, consultant at UAB "Precision farming" (Agricon).
Partners
The studies are carried out closely with social partners (more than 40 companies). University patrons equip laboratories and create opportunities to use the latest engineering solutions in the study process, while businesses provide scholarships to students.
