Key Summary
The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Computer, Communications and Electronic Engineering (ICE) combines three major disciplines in the Information Engineering area: Computer Engineering, Information and Communications Engineering and Electronic Engineering. The programme shares an interdisciplinary core of subjects and provides two curricula, one in Italian and one taught entirely in English. Both last 3 years and require 180 credits to graduate. Alongside the first sequence of common courses, the curriculum in English offers cross-disciplinary training by integrating courses that pertain to each of the three areas.
The Bachelor's degree in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering provides students with general skills in the Information Engineering area and, depending on the chosen specialization, specific skills in the field of Information technology, telecommunications and electronics. The main academic areas are:
- mathematics and physics
- economics and business organization
- computer engineering
- technologies and systems for telecommunications
- electronic devices and circuits
In addition to the basic courses, specialization courses are added for the acquisition of supplementary methodological or professional skills. The program is strongly project-based with a major focus on the use of laboratories and promotes activities for the design of devices and software.
The Bachelor’s degree in Computer, Communications, and Electronic Engineering aims to train students with specific skills requested in the fields of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). ICT is an engine of economic growth and in this sector added value and employment grow at a much higher rate than in the global industry. The professional figure to be trained corresponds to an engineer working in a team to address and solve problems using innovative methods, techniques and tools.
