Presentation of the ECE Department
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of the University of Peloponnese belongs to the School of Engineering based in Patras and was founded in May 2019.
The aim of the Department is to provide education and cultivation of research skills to students with the aim of creating scientists with a high level of knowledge and skills in the science of Electrical and Computer Engineering. In particular, the Department treats the science and technology of Energy Systems, Electrical Installations, Signals, Communications, Networks, Electronics, Computers, Systems and Informatics, in all their areas of application. To achieve these goals, the Department offers three (3) levels of studies.
- In the first cycle of studies (undergraduate studies) Department provides a modern Curriculum lasting ten (10) academic semesters, which leads to the award of Integrated Master in the specialty of the Department, level 7 of the National and European Qualifications Framework.
The curriculum aims to cultivate teaching and research skills in students that will enable them to respond successfully in an internationally competitive work environment. The Curriculum offers basic training lasting six (6) academic semesters and four (4) specializations lasting four (4) academic semesters, which are:
- Energy Systems
- Signals, Telecommunications and Networks
- Electronics, Computers and Systems
- Informatics
The basic education and specializations aim at the high level theoretical and laboratory education of the students in the following subjects of Electrical and Computer Engineering and in particular in:
- Installations for the production, transmission, conversion, protection and distribution of electricity, including machinery, apparatus and components, as well as installations relating to electricity, electric motors, power electronics, lighting and electricity storage and their applications, power stations with conventional fuels or renewable energy sources, methods of financial management of electricity and operation of regulated or non-regulated electricity markets.
- Electromagnetic fields and their applications; antennas and radiowaves , microwaves, microwave and optoelectronic devices and circuits, analogue and digital signals and systems, digital signal processing, analogue and digital telecommunications systems, fixed and mobile communications networks, satellite communications, computer networks, optical networks, broadband networks, sensor networks, internet and internet technologies of things, communication systems management.
- Analog and digital hardware systems, circuits and devices, integrated circuits (programmable and non-programmable), computer systems architecture, electronic circuits, microelectronics and nanoelectronics, components and devices, analog and digital systems, sensors, embedded, integrated systems, automatic control, cyberphysical systems and internet of things.
- Computer programming, operating systems, application and system software, software technology, data and knowledge management and analysis, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality systems, human-machine interaction, web applications, cloud computing, intelligent systems and their applications, parallel and distributed data processing and science and analytics, visualization and graphics, information systems management, management and decision systems, software security, data security.
- In the second level of studies (postgraduate specialization studies), the Department offers the Postgraduate Program entitled “Technologies and Services of Intelligent Information and Communication Systems”, which aims to develop technologies, models and methods for efficient data management and processing. The export of knowledge and the assistance of decision-making in critical national / regional sectors and in particular in modern cyber systems, education and business-organizations. Emphasis is also placed on the familiarity and application of entrepreneurship and open innovation.
- In the third level of studies (doctoral studies), the Department offers a Doctoral Studies program, in areas that fall within the research interests and / or scientific fields that are treated by the Department either exclusively or more broadly according to the concept of interdisciplinarity that governs modern research activity. The cycle of doctoral studies is completed with the preparation of an original dissertation and the award of a Doctoral Diploma.
The faculty of the Department have an intense research activity, implementing research and development projects through research laboratories.
