Information and communications technology, which is ubiquitous in today's world, plays a fundamental role in economic development. Electronic systems for the acquisitiona nd processing of data and signals, the Internet, wireless mobile phone systems, electronic energy generation systems and sensor networks to monitor the environment are present in many modern applications.
The aim of this degree programme is to produce graduates ready and able to work in any of these environments, equipping them with a sound methodological knowledge supplemented with technological skills acquired through practical workshop activities. Graduates will be able to design, implement and manage systems, processes and services related to information engineering, with a particular focus on electronic systems, communication networks and their application in relation to energy and the environment.
The programme is divided into three areas of learning: methodological, technological and interdisciplinary.
With regard to methodology, students are guided in their study of the reference models and methods used, as well as the problems that may arise in the design of modern electronic and telecommunications systems, electronic communications networks, information and signal systems and processing algorithms, the standards related to the same, and ICT applications for energy and environmental monitoring.
With regard to the technological aspects, lectures and numerical exercises are supplemented with laboratory work which enables students to gain a more in-depth understanding of applicative and technological aspects through"learning-by-doing". Students may undertake internships through the collaboration agreements in place with national public and private organisations. Thanks to the sound methodological knowledge provided by the First Cycle Degree Programme in Electronics Engineering and the technical and scientific flexibility gained during the programme, students may successfully enter the world of work or further develop their knowledge and skills by enrolling on the Second Cycle/two year master programmes in disciplines related to Electronics Engineering and Telecommunications and, more generally, to Information Engineering.
Finally, a particular feature of this degree programme is its interdisciplinary approach. Particular emphasis is placed on the scientific framework of the fundamental principles, the use of examples in the illustration of methodological approaches, and the presentation of environments and tools which together support the design of systems and architectures specific to the field.The specific skills acquired are supplemented by the acquisition of a soundknowledge of physics, mathematics and modelling techniques, aspects of corporate culture and knowledge of foreign languages.
