Doctoral Program in Design and Manufacturing Engineering 2020–2021




Introduction

Interest of the Program:

In the Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering of the UZ, both teaching and research activities have been promoted from its origins, fundamentally applied and related in many cases with the development and innovation of complex production technologies. In this line, the present Doctoral Program integrates the non-oriented research activity with the development, technology transfer and innovation drive.

These activities are developed through the implementation of technological development projects through which close contact is maintained with the productive sector and the necessary financing is available for the acquisition and maintenance of equipment and infrastructures.

All this research activity applied and committed to the productive sector is what confirms the importance of this Doctoral Program in which researchers can continue to be trained in this field to develop their professional activity in research organizations or companies in sectors such as metal-mechanical, machine-tool, consumer goods, automotive, aeronautics, rail, naval, energy ...

Main lines of research of the Program:

1. Design, development and management of products, services and projects, including the following sublines: 

  • Industrial ergonomics and safety: tasks analysis, production tools and methods related with the work environment to avoid accidents and occupational diseases.
  • Design and development of new products and services: optimization of the whole process of creation and launching of a new product or service on the market. Product engineering. Product Lifecycle Management.
  • Project Management: Project planning and control. Risk management. Supplier management. Project management office. Project based learning.
  • Industry 4.0 supply chain management.

2. Manufacturing, quality and precision metrology, including the following sublines:

Background:

The background of the doctoral program in Design and Manufacturing Engineering is found in the previous doctoral programs in this field of research: the doctoral program, with the same name, in Design and Manufacturing Engineering and the interuniversity doctorate program in Management of Projects that from now on is integrated with the previous one given the strong synergy existing between the works of the researchers of the two previous doctorates.

In this way all the professors of the Department of Design and Manufacturing Engineering collaborate in a single Doctoral Program that aims to integrate the capacities of the professors and research groups of the three areas of knowledge existing in this department at the UZ:

  • Engineering of Manufacturing Processes
  • Graphic Expression in Engineering
  • Engineering projects

After some time it can be concluded that the integrating task of research activities carried out in this program provides positive results, since during more than twenty years of work several research groups recognized by the Government of Aragón and by the UZ have been formed. a state-of-the-art equipment for the realization of multiple public and private research projects, both national and European, has been achieved and, finally, it has also allowed to publish in specialty magazines of the current listings collected in the JCR.

A good part of this work has been integrated in recent years in the strategic lines of the Aragón Institute of Engineering Research I3A in which multidisciplinary and synergistic projects are strengthened with other research groups.


Program Objectives

The main goal of this Doctoral Program is the training of PhD graduates who lead the transfer of knowledge in innovation and research to society, in the filed of the two lines of research previously described, by developing "original research" during the beginning of their research career with high levels of quality, internationalization, innovation, recognition and mobility.


Outgoing Student Profile

The outgoing student profile has been adapted based on the verification of the following needs of PhD graduates in companies and research centers related to the lines of research, development, innovation and technology transfer of this Doctoral Program, which can be classified into three areas :

· Important productive sectors: automotive, aeronautics, railways, machine tools, metal-mechanical sector, mold makers and toolmakers, etc. Related to the optimization of their production processes and systems towards flexible manufacturing, total quality and productivity improvement.

· Companies in the instrumentation sector, precision mechanics, mechatronics, laboratories, metrological services companies, etc. Related to the development of procedures and equipment in manufacturing metrology accepted by certification and accreditation bodies.

· Emerging product companies or sectors. It is about supporting the generation of new companies and products or transferring the results of research to manufacturers of new machines or instruments for series production. This will also allow the generation of new companies and laboratories with high R&D capacity in the aforementioned sectors.

The Academic Committee will take into consideration the line of research in which the student will be integrated when choosing these courses.

Should complementary courses be necessary, they must be studied and passed during the first year (full-time students) or the first two years (part-time students). The students will enroll for academic tutelage for the doctorate at the same time.



Enrolment Dates, Deadlines and Procedure

Doctoral students, as researchers in training and students of the University of Zaragoza, must register annually with the corresponding fees for the academic supervision of the doctoral programme while they continue their doctoral training. The enrolment period will be the one established for this purpose in the calendar of the corresponding academic year.

As a general rule, enrolment will be done online through the Virtual Secretariat of the University of Zaragoza, having previously obtained a personal identification number (PIN) and password from the identity management service of the University of Zaragoza. Those who are unable to enrol online will be allowed to do so in person by going to the Doctoral School Section during opening hours. For the first, second and subsequent enrolments, doctoral students will have to present various documents about their previous studies, depending on whether they have been studied in countries within or outside the European Education Area.

The website of the Doctoral School provides complete and updated information about the enrolment procedure including key points, prices, discounts and insurancelegalisation and translation of documents and various practical details.


Thesis Supervision

The procedures for the supervision of students on the programme are set out in article 11 of Royal Decree 99/2011 regulating doctoral studies. Thesis supervision is also covered by Title I of the Regulations on Doctoral Theses of the University of Zaragoza.

Doctoral students admitted to the programme will register annually for academic supervision at the University of Zaragoza. The academic committee of the programme will assign a thesis supervisor and a tutor, who may or may not coincide. The thesis supervisor will be responsible for the overall management of the student's research tasks, for the coherence and suitability of the training activities, for the impact and novelty of the subject matter of the doctoral thesis in his/her field, and for guiding the planning and, where appropriate, its adaptation to that of other projects and activities in which the student is enrolled. The tutor is responsible for ensuring that the training and research activity is in line with the principles of the programme and the Doctoral School and will ensure the interaction of the PhD student with the programme's Academic Committee, the body responsible for supervising the progress of the research and training and for authorising the presentation of the thesis of each PhD student on the programme.

The supervision of doctoral students will be set out in the Doctoral Charter which, once enrolment has been completed, will be signed by the doctoral student, his/her tutor and supervisor, the programme coordinator and the director of the School for Doctoral Studies. For further information on thesis supervision, please contact the programme's administrative office (see contact details in the programme's general information) or the programme coordinator.


Student's Follow-up and Evaluation

The mechanisms for monitoring doctoral students are in accordance with the provisions of Article 11. Doctoral supervision and monitoring of RD 99/2011, of 28 January, which regulates official doctoral studies.

Before the end of the first year of enrolment, the PhD student must present a document that includes the research plan and the personal training plan. This may be improved and detailed throughout their stay on the programme and must be endorsed by the supervisor and tutor.

The research plan shall include, at least, the methodology to be used and the objectives to be achieved, as well as the means and timetable for achieving them.

The personal training plan will contain a forecast of the different training activities to be carried out during the doctoral thesis (courses, seminars, mobility actions, etc.).

The activities document is the record of all the activities - stays, courses, attendance at conferences, etc. - that the PhD student carries out from enrolment in the doctoral programme until the submission of the doctoral thesis.

These documents, as well as the director's and tutor's reports, are managed through the doctoral management application, SIGMA.

The academic committee of the programme will annually evaluate the progress of the doctoral student in terms of his/her research plan and the activities document together with the reports that the director and tutor must issue for this purpose. A positive evaluation will be a prerequisite for continuing on the programme. In the event of a negative evaluation, the PhD student must be evaluated again within a maximum period of six months. In the event that significant shortcomings continue to occur, the Academic Committee must issue a reasoned report, after hearing the interested party, and the doctoral student will be definitively withdrawn from the programme.

Once the thesis has been completed, the PhD student must proceed to its deposit and defence in accordance with the provisions set out in the thesis regulations of the University of Zaragoza and in the procedure that develops it, available on the EDUZ regulations website


Other Specific Program Procedures

In addition to the previous point,  in order to guarantee the quality of the doctoral theses of the program, the Academic Committee will check at the time of admission for processing whether the doctoral student has managed to publish at least one article in a relelevant journal in his field of research (and indexed in the JCR). That article must be accepted although it may be pending publication: in that case, a copy of the article will be presented together with the digital identifier of the article (doi), or if it does not yet exist, a certificate or email sent by the journal editor, in which the article acceptance for publication is indicated. 


Transversal Training Activities

The Doctoral School of the University of Zaragoza offers its doctoral students various transversal training activities focused on facilitating the acquisition of the necessary skills to actively participate in the knowledge society and to successfully manage in a complex and changing labour market. The activities in module 1, Communication skills, help PhD students to effectively disseminate research and its results and to share knowledge in an attractive way, both in writing and orally. Module 2, Scientific Information Management, provides training in searching, processing and managing bibliographic information. Module 3 includes activities that improve the doctoral student's readiness to manage in a professional environment. The activities in module 4, Research and Society, provide doctoral students with a space for reflection on issues of interest to participate fully and responsibly in today's diverse, digital and global society. Module 5 contains activities on instrumental or technical aspects necessary to apply cutting-edge research methodologies.

The training offer is completed with online activities for all G9 doctoral students, teaching and research training activities organised by the Institute of Education Sciences of the University of Zaragoza and with those carried out within the framework of inter-university and international Doctoral Conferences.

The complete offer for each academic year is published here.


Specific Training Activities

It will be necessary to carry out activities with a duration of at least 6 hours a year among the activities: Courses, Seminars for the presentation of equipment and advanced techniques, Introductory seminars to the available software resources, and Internal follow-up seminars.

In the case of part-time students, 3 hours per year will be required. 


1. Courses, Seminars to present equipment and advanced techniques, introductory seminars to available software resources and internal follow-up seminars.
These activities will be planned according to the availability of the students enrolled, so that, as far as possible, they will be developed at times compatible with the activity of part-time students.
The internal follow-up seminars will be periodic and all doctoral students in the doctoral thesis and professors can be voluntarily assisted by research lines. In them, the sharing of the work in progress and the research plans of the doctoral students must be carried out in order to receive feedback and brainstorming by the group of professors of the research lines.
Duration: Students are expected to participate in at least 6 hours/year (3 hours/year in the case of part-time students).
Control procedures: Registration in the DAD (through the SIGMA application) of the activities carried out and monitoring by the Academic Committee.

2. Presentation of the results of the research in congresses and workshops.
Duration:
Participation and presentation of papers is recommended at least two times before the defense of the doctoral thesis.
Control procedures: Registration in the DAD (through the SIGMA application) of the activities carried out and monitoring by the Academic Committee.

3. Publishing of research articles.

A significant part in the development of any research today is the dissemination of the results achieved. Therefore, students must learn to recognize when their research results are relevant enough for their publication and dissemination. Likewise, students must be able to properly select a journal that suits their research, prepare the text of the article according to the journal's standards and with the appropriate structure. And finally, they know how to correctly manage the criticisms of the reviewers until the article acceptance is achieved. Therefore, all students must publish at least one article in an international journal of reference in their field (included in the Journal Citation Reports).

Duration: To report on its duration, up to 180 hours will be counted depending on the quality of the publication.
Control procedures: Registration in the DAD (through the SIGMA application) of the activities carried out and monitoring by the Academic Committee.

4. Mobility.

It is recommended to carry out a research stay in a foreign center or in other national public research organizations, with a duration of at least 3 months. For part-time students, several shorter stays may be made, adapting the periods to the student's availability so that the corresponding competencies are achieved.
Duration: To report on its duration in hours, it will be counted at 40 h / week. .
Control procedures: Registration in the DAD (through the SIGMA application) of the activities carried out and monitoring by the Academic Committee.


Mobility

Doctoral students enrolled on doctoral programmes benefit from the mobility grants established in various national and international calls for applications. The calls of the Erasmus+ programme stand out. In the Modality Erasmus+ Studies, doctoral students can choose from a wide range of destinations as most of the agreements signed by the University of Zaragoza with other universities include places for doctoral students from all branches.

This mobility is carried out in accordance with the procedure Q-312_1. Procedure for the Management of the International Mobility of Undergraduate, Master and PhD Students.

With regard to the Erasmus+ Internships mode, doctoral students have access to two calls: the University of Zaragoza's own call and the one carried out by the Campus Iberus of International Excellence for the universities that are part of it, including Zaragoza.

Other interesting mobility calls are the Erasmus+ Short Mobility, the UNITA mobility, the external internships, those specifically aimed at Ibero-American students and those that finance international stays for pre-doctoral students, among others.

The mobility of doctoral students at the University of Zaragoza is also encouraged through the signing of co-supervision agreements with several foreign universities.
