Course info
The 2nd cycle degree course in Electronic and Photonic Engineering aims at educating students with advanced knowledge in the fields of electron transmission as well as of circuits propagating electromagnetic waves in frequency ranges from radiofrequency to microwaves, and finally in the transmission of information through photons. To achieve this objective, the educational programme is characterised by some educational lines, the crossing of which may help students to trigger their insight into different problems in order to identifying the most advantageous plans. The first educational line entails the study of physics of materials, and of the structure of solid materials for electronics and photonics, followed by the study of solid state devices exploiting both classical and quantum attributes of materials. This knowledge is the basis for further educational lines in the fields of concentrated and distributed parameters electronics for high frequencies and microwaves on one side, and for the study of photonic devices and systems, on the other. Finally, particular attention is paid to communications. In particular the course will study in depth optical communications and electronics for telecommunications, as well as the aspects related to the implementation of telecommunication systems also based on high speed processors and electronic interfaces.
The professional ambits for graduates of this course are: the innovation and development of production, advanced design, planning and programming, management of complex systems, both in private practice and in manufacturing or service companies and public administrations. Graduates of this course may find professional opportunities in companies designing and producing electronic and optoelectronic components, apparatus, systems and infrastructures, including sensorial systems; in manufacturing companies and in all business using electronic infrastructures and technologies for processing signals in the civil, industrial and information fields; in regulatory and controlling agencies; in private and public research institutions and agencies, with responsibility of design, research and development. It is worth mentioning, among possible employers, the providers of telecommunication systems, electronic and optoelectronic systems, service companies, technical-commercial professionals, national and international agencies and institutions, producers of remote measurements, control and survey systems, manufacturing companies using electronic technologies and infrastructures for the automation and control of their production.
The final examination of the 2nd cycle degree course in Electronic Engineering consists of the discussion of a written dissertation, prepared by the student under the guidance of a supervisor; the dissertation topic, which should be approved by the Board of the Degree Course, should investigate issues with high scientific content; it should be related to innovative aspects of the typical research area of Electronics.
