Program Overview

Introduction to the Electrical Engineering Program

The Electrical Engineering program is offered by the School of Industrial and Information Engineering. The program is divided into two levels: a three-year undergraduate degree and a two-year master's degree. The master's degree is a prerequisite for those who intend to pursue a doctoral degree.

Program Structure

The undergraduate degree consists of 180 credits distributed over three years, leading to the title of Doctor in Electrical Engineering. The courses are taught in Italian. The program aims to train professionals who can tackle basic design problems in the field of electrical engineering.

Curriculum

The first two years focus on acquiring a broad and in-depth knowledge of mathematical, physical, and electrical engineering disciplines. These subjects form the essential basis for specialized competencies. Multidisciplinary knowledge in areas such as computer science, automation, electronics, mechanics, and business economics is also explored. In the third year, students delve into the characteristic disciplines of electrical engineering, including power electrical machines and systems.

Educational Objectives

The study path is primarily preparatory for the subsequent master's degree. Many courses have a strong methodological content, aimed at acquiring solid theoretical knowledge in the field of electrical engineering, generating models of phenomena, and verifying them through experimental measurements. However, applied skills in the field of electrical systems and/or electrical machines and drives are not neglected, especially for those who wish to enter the workforce immediately after completing their undergraduate degree.

Practical Information

• Internship: An obligatory internship is part of the undergraduate program, which can be completed in companies or professional studios.
• Language Requirement: Knowledge of a European Union language (English is assumed as the language that must be known in addition to Italian) is a prerequisite for accessing the master's degree.
• Regulations: The program is governed by the didactic regulations of the School of Industrial and Information Engineering.

Quotes and Inspirations

The program is inspired by quotes from notable figures such as James Clerk Maxwell, emphasizing the importance of a good theory in practice.
