Program Overview

Bachelor's Degree Programme in Computer Engineering

Overview

The degree programme combines basic engineering competencies with in-depth knowledge on the main features of information processing systems, for both hardware and software components.

Study Program

• In Year 1, students will study basic subjects (math, physics, chemistry, computer science) and complete their training with English language.
  • During the second semester, students will attend their first specialized course in programming aimed at solving real problems.
• In Year 2, students will take Information Engineering subjects such as electrical engineering, electronics, computer architecture, advanced programming, database design and management, complemented by mathematics and physics training.
• During Year 3, students will focus more specifically on Computer Science Engineering, combined with electronics, automation, and telecommunications.
  • The application and in-depth aspects of information processing systems will therefore be highlighted by analyzing the theoretical and practical aspects of operating systems and computer network design.

How You Will Learn

• The degree programme will be Italian-taught and English-taught.
• Students will also be able to choose single courses in English and attend part of them abroad, thanks to the Politong project in China and to SEC project involving American Universities.
• Students will be trained by lectures, guided exercises, simple projects, practice exercises, and laboratory experiments.
  • Additional activities will be independently carried out by each student or by work groups, under professors' guidance.
• Students will also participate in practical computer lab activities, using computer (calculators) or electronic equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.), conducting some first field experiments with the creation of prototypes, projects, and simulations, testing their design and teamwork skills.
• Additional advanced laboratories will teach students how to run the main operating systems (both proprietary and open-source) and widely used application software.
• Students will then complete their studies with a traineeship and other training activities offered by PoliTO or other organizations.
  • Alternatively, students will be able to combine elective courses with training activities.
• Students will attend seminars and meeting days with companies operating in the sector where they will eventually choose to do an internship in their third year.
