About Brunel UniversityBrunel University runs in cooperation with the TAE
in Ostfildern a Master of Science programme in
Advanced Manufacturing Systems. Eight taught
modules are offered over 20 weekends with accom -
panying hands-on laboratory assignments. Together
these constitute the taught part of the one-year
MSc degree, but individual modules may be atten-
ded, for which the fee is 590,- € per weekend. For
those students who wish to complete the Brunel
master degree (20 events altogether), the fee is
10.800,- €
The Advanced Manufacturing Systems CourseAMS is run by one of the strongest research groups
in Brunel University and within the UK and this is
underpinned by substantial links with industry.
We have a long tradition of excellence in both
teaching and research in manufacturing systems
and engine ering management. The latest indepen-
dent teaching assessment awarded us 22/24 for
teaching quality. In the current Research Assess-
ment Exercise, 95% of academics in the School
achieved international standard, it was ranked 5th
in General Engineering amongst UK Universities.
Course Aim and ObjectivesIn the past two decades, manufacturing industry
worldwide has experienced the most radical changes
since the industrial revolution. These changes in clude
globalization, mass customization, enterprise agility/
supply chain management, continuous innovation,
and increasing application of collaborative design
and manufacture.
The challenges of a multidisciplinary work environ-
ment require a new generation of engineers that
are highly specialised but at the same time need to
understand product life cycle from inception (design)
to the end (recycling & reusability).
For the engineering and academic community, the-
refore, it is essential to train and educate the next
generation of engineers who will be able to work
in the challenging environment where a systems
approach to problem solving is crucial. For example,
appreciation of critical decision-making under
uncertainty, application of a combination hardware
software technology to address Enterprise Resource
Planning issues, development of manufacturing
techniques, usage and creation of advanced mate r -
ial such as alloys, manufacturing processes, and
dealing with shopfloor automation.
The programme is designed to enable its students
to learn, understand and implement the principles
and techniques and to become high quality innova-
tive manufacturing and systems engineers who can
meet the knowledge and information needs of the
modern enterprise in the international/national/
regional context.
The AMS graduates will be equipped with the
latest techniques in manufacturing and systems
engineering in:
a) Design and development of highly flexible and
economical global manufacturing systems and
supply chains.
b) Managing and providing solutions for advanced
automated and semi-automated industries.
c) Application of advanced computer and mathe -
matical modelling for improved performance,
design and management of industrial systems.
d) Deploy the latest advanced measurement
techniques and technologies for calibration
(Applied Metrology).
e) Management and implementation of Projects and
Operations under time and resource constraints.
f) Design and development of Sustainable and
Environmentally responsible products.
ModulesModule1: Systems Modelling and Simulation (Dr Alireza Mousavi)The aim of this module is to encourage systematic
thinking and acquiring knowledge and skills to model
and analyse modern complex systems. Critically
evaluate and implement principles of systems appro-
ach and analysis. Describe, evaluate and appropri-
ately apply systems concepts to real world industrial
problems and to design, plan and solve arising prob-
lems that day-to-day management of such systems
encounter. Gain the required skills for modelling,
simulating and critically analysing performance of
deterministic and stochastic systems. The candidate
will deploy the latest techniques and tools in Discrete
Event Simulation to capture the interactions and
negotiations between components of enterprise
systems. We use the simulation and modelling soft-
ware tools such as Arena as a tool for this purpose.

Master Thesis Following the taught part of the programme and
reflecting individual interests, the Master Thesis is an
in-depth study of a manufacturing problem or situation,
requiring a high standard of investigation and presen-
tation. The analysis of a ‘real’ problem is expected,
frequently involving a company or workplace. Close
liaison between the University, the student and,
where appropriate, the company is essential when
selecting a topic which has a suitable academic con-
tent and an appropriate scope, relevance and time-
scale. Some students may wish their Master Thesis
to be considered by the Chartered Engineering
Institutions to satisfy requirements for corporate
membership. In this case, a further set of criteria
will have to be satisfied and you should contact the
appropriate institute on the best way to proceed.
Module 2: Computer Aided Engineering (Dr Xiang Wang)The main aims of this module are to give the stu-
dents the knowledge to model the entities, points,
edges, surfaces and solids for CAE and the skill to
create the computer models of a part or assembly
using a contemporary CAE software (Pro/E,CATIA,
Solidworks etc.)
Educate the students in the theory and application
of Mechanism Synthesis and Analysis and to equip
the students with the skills of modelling mechanisms
using the MATLAB and Simulink software packages.
Module 3: Sustainable Design and Manufacture (Dr Atanas Ivanov)The purpose of this module is to provide post -
graduate students with methods for analysing
sustainability in design, quantifying the quality
parameters, calculating and assigning appropriate
tolerances, analysing the manufacturing operations
for achieving the required quality targets.
The emphasis will be on the link between design
information and manufacturing operations to
produce products and propose operations that
reduce the environmental impact of manufacturing.
Module 4: Robotics and Manufacturing Automation (Dr Harris Makatsoris)The module aims at providing an understanding
and critical awareness to designing and controlling
modern automated manufacturing systems, and
employs a systems approach in doing so. The
module provides an exposure to a variety of indus-
trial and factory automation practices and also an
understanding in selecting appropriate automation
and control methods for the equipment or process
at hand.
