Program Overview

Program Overview

The program in question is "TECNICHE NUMERICHE E DI OTTIMIZZAZIONE PER L'INGEGNERIA ELETTRICA" which translates to "Numerical Techniques and Optimization for Electrical Engineering". This program is offered by the University of Genoa.

Program Details

• Academic Year: 2025/2026
• CFU (University Credits): 8 CFU in the second year of the Electrical Engineering program (LM-28) - Genova
• Location: Genova

Modules

The program is composed of two modules:

• Metodi Numerici di base e tecniche di Ottimizzazione per Sistemi Elettromagnetici (Basic Numerical Methods and Optimization Techniques for Electromagnetic Systems)
• Tecniche di Ottimizzazione per i Sistemi Elettrici (Optimization Techniques for Electrical Systems)

Educational Objectives

The program aims to provide knowledge on basic numerical methods, optimization, and their application to design and management problems in electrical systems. It is divided into two modules, with the goal of introducing students to the main algorithms used in the numerical modeling of industrial devices and to the techniques for the optimization of these devices.
