Base Knowledge

  1. Digital and analog electronics
  2. C programming language

Teaching Methodologies

  • Theoretical Component (T) – The expository method is adopted, with a preference for using practical case examples in real-world contexts whenever possible, to achieve a deeper and more effective understanding of the topics covered.
  • Theoretical-Practical Component (TP) – Students are challenged to find solutions to theoretical-practical challenges and to validate the solutions found using simulation tools, allowing them to deepen theoretical concepts and improve their preparation for the practical component; occasionally, the peer-learning approach is used to encourage sharing and debate among students.
  • Practical Component (P) – The project-based learning approach is adopted. Students work in groups and are challenged to program real applications and validate their solutions on real platforms available in the laboratory.
