The course trains electronic engineers capable of designing and managing highly innovative solutions in a wide variety of application areas. The training program is based on solid fundamental knowledge and emphasizes versatility and multidisciplinarity, key elements for successfully tackling contemporary technological challenges.

In Italy and around the world, electronics is a strategic and constantly growing sector. The demand for electronic engineers in industry is currently about double the number of graduates, offering our students ample opportunities for professional placement and excellent career prospects.

To develop innovative and efficient technological solutions, electronic engineers are required to apply their knowledge and skills in practical contexts, developing effective problem-solving strategies. For this reason, all courses integrate theory and practice in a balanced way, dedicating a significant portion of teaching hours to practical and laboratory activities.

In this way, students are constantly encouraged to experiment with the theoretical knowledge they have acquired in the field, consolidating it through direct experience.

Graduates in Electronic Engineering are highly sought after by companies and industrial organizations, including large ones, operating in both the private and public sectors. These organizations are active in the following areas:

•    industrial electronics, automation, and robotics

•    microelectronics and semiconductors

•    artificial intelligence and data analysis

•    biomedical technologies and medical devices

•    transportation and smart mobility

•    energy and energy systems

•    information technology, software systems

•    defense, space, and security

•    naval design and offshore systems

•    research, development, and technology transfer.

Graduates in Electronic Engineering from the University of Genoa typically take on roles related to the development and integration of electronic systems, embedded hardware and software design, the testing and validation of complex equipment, and engineering support for critical and safety-related systems.  

Electronic systems are at the heart of many of the most innovative technological applications. A prime example is autonomous and semi-autonomous machines, such as drones, robots, and smart vehicles, which are capable of perceiving, exploring, and interacting with their surroundings.

In these contexts, the electronic system performs two fundamental functions: the data processing necessary to solve complex problems and interaction with the outside world through sensors, actuators, and communication systems. In this and many other scenarios, the role of the electronic engineer is central to the design and development of new generations of electronic systems and hardware and software technologies that enable increasingly advanced applications, such as the Internet of Things, wearable devices, cyber-physical systems, and cybersecurity solutions.

The degree program is structured to provide not only a solid theoretical foundation, but also the ability to operate in interdisciplinary contexts and develop original solutions in various fields of application. The course content is geared towards preparing graduates to analyze, design, and manage:

•    digital and analog circuits

•    integrated electronic systems for sensors and data acquisition

•    intelligent systems based on machine learning and artificial intelligence

•    radio frequency and microwave devices, sensors, and systems

•    software modules for devices and systems with high computational efficiency

The second semester of the second year is dedicated to internships and theses.
