The course in brief

Presentation

The course trains professionals to contribute to technological innovation in the many fields of electronics applications. Solid basic skills, versatility and multidisciplinarity are the main components of the training course, which is organised according to two orientations:

  • Electronic Systems, focusing on the design of electronic circuits and systems
  • Pervasive Intelligence, focusing on hardware/software integration in electronic systems

Learning by doing

In order to develop innovative and efficient technological solutions, the electrical engineer is constantly called upon to exploit his skills in concrete applications, devising problem-solving strategies. For this reason, in both orientations, a significant proportion of hours are dedicated to practical and laboratory experience, so that students can test the theoretical knowledge acquired in the field.

Professional outlets

Contents

Electronic systems represent the core element of all innovative applications. An excellent example is autonomous or semi-autonomous machines such as drones, robots, cars. These machines are able to perceive, explore and manipulate the world around them. Here, the electronic system performs two fundamental tasks: processing data to solve complex problems and interacting with the outside world through sensors, actuators and communication systems. In this and many other scenarios, the role of the electronics engineer is crucial in designing and developing new generations of electronic systems and related hardware/software technologies to support increasingly advanced applications (IoT, wearables, cyber-physical systems, cybersecurity, ...).

The degree course is therefore structured to provide not only solid theoretical foundations, but also the ability to move in interdisciplinary contexts and the ability to develop original solutions for constantly evolving application areas. The contents are geared towards training graduates who can develop skills for the analysis, design and implementation of:

  • digital and analogue circuits
  • integrated electronic sensor systems
  • intelligent algorithms based on machine learning
  • radiofrequency and microwave devices, sensors and systems
  • software modules for computationally efficient devices
  • methods and technologies for data transmission and protection

The presence of two orientations provides the student with the opportunity to customise the curriculum to accrue more oriented skills:

  • to the design of electronic devices - Electronic Systems
  • to the development of algorithms and software models for electronic systems - Pervasive Intelligence
