Obiettivi Formativi

The Bachelor's Degree in Computer, Electronic, and Telecommunications Engineering aims to train professionals with broad and interdisciplinary skills in the design and application of systems and techniques for acquiring, converting, transmitting, processing, and managing information in the form of electrical quantities, both analog and digital.

To this end, theoretical knowledge and the ability to apply techniques for the analysis and synthesis of analog and digital electronic circuits, microwave frequency devices, telecommunication systems, information processing systems and codes, control systems, and tools for measuring electrical parameters of all these systems are considered essential.

This professional profile effectively meets the demands of the job market in the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector, which increasingly requires flexibility and the ability to professionally handle interdisciplinary problems.

Educational Objectives
The program achieves its educational objectives through a carefully structured curriculum over three years, allowing students to acquire:

A fundamental knowledge base, covering essential subjects such as mathematical analysis, geometry, chemistry, and physics. Although these subjects are common across all engineering disciplines, they are structured to link theoretical aspects to applications relevant to information technologies whenever possible. This phase is primarily concentrated in the first year.

A broad-spectrum education in information engineering, covering the fundamental topics and methodologies of this field. These courses are mainly concentrated in the second year.

A specialized education in electronics, computer science, and telecommunications, focusing on developing methodological skills for analyzing and designing hardware and software components for acquiring, converting, transmitting, processing, and managing information in electrical form. These subjects are mainly covered in the third year.

Each of these areas is complemented by further specialized training through elective courses that allow students to deepen their knowledge in specific application contexts.

Program Structure and Curricula

The interdisciplinary education in electronics, computer science, and telecommunications engineering is structured into four curricula, which primarily diverge in the third year:

General Curriculum – Offers a broad and multidisciplinary foundation in electronics, computer science, and telecommunications engineering. A wide selection of elective courses enables students to develop competencies in analog/digital system design, software and information system development, and network design and management, with a focus on the Internet.

Electronics-Oriented Curriculum – Focuses on electronic applications in industrial and biomedical contexts. Students gain in-depth knowledge of analog and digital electronic systems, particularly for biomedical signal processing or industrial equipment control.

Data Networks and CyberSecurity Curriculum – Specializes in IT and electromagnetic technologies for communication systems and networks, emphasizing cybersecurity. This track is highly relevant for the Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, and embedded systems, where telecommunications and IT disciplines converge.

Homeland Security and Safety Curriculum – Focuses on ICT applications for security, particularly in risk assessment and mitigation for urban transport systems. This track includes ICT-based emergency management, hazardous material transportation monitoring, and infrastructure integrity assessment using sensor-based techniques.
