Graduates in Information Engineering can conceive, design and manage complex systems that involve several challenges ranging from the acquisition, processing, and extraction of information, as well as all the aspects related to data transmission, archiving and protection; to this end, during the development of their academic career, they will acquire a broad set of skills in interdisciplinary application contexts.

They develop solid technical and scientific knowledge in the area of information engineering, which in particular declines into:

• knowledge of the most advanced methodologies and tools for the design of acquisition, transmission and processing systems for heterogeneous signals and data
• ability to design, engineer and manage intelligent systems
• solid command of engineering methodologies to understand the limits and criticalities of a system
• capability to understand how to implement technology transfer and business management. 

The knowledge acquired can be widely used in a large number of application and industrial contexts, which include not only the sphere of systems related to telecommunications but also range over a vast pool of related domains and application sectors, with a broad vision.

The course provides substantial laboratory experiences, projects, and seminars - from both academia and industry - as well as internship opportunities with our research partners, to further develop and strengthen the scientific and communication skills necessary for a rapid entry into a fruitful professional career.

Teaching activities include 

• traditional lectures
• laboratory activities
• thematic seminars and internship. 

The educational method is also devoted to challenge-based learning, as well as to a renewed focus on soft-skills, an essential feature for a successful professional figure.

Career Opportunities

The skills acquired guarantee employability in a wide range of areas, which include both the corporate or industry sector, as well as prominent research-oriented positions in institutes or academia.

A non-exhaustive list includes the following fields:

• companies in the areas of research and development, engineering, production and marketing of products and services in the fields of telecommunications, networks, signal processing, electronics, multimedia, information technology and biomedical engineering
• companies operating in domains that need skills for the development and use of communication systems and infrastructures and data and signal processing to support internal organisation, production and marketing
• companies dealing with design, supply and maintenance of services provided via telematic networks, sensor networks, distributed architectures and the Internet
• companies supplying structures and services for IT systems and networks
• research and development centres, both public and private.
