The module aims to provide the necessary knowledge and skills for the design and testing of innovative telecommunication systems in order to create dynamic and skilled professional figures, with respect to the current market requests. In the program, the addressed topics are selected on the basis of two criteria: a topic which represents a fundamental knowledge in the current technology landscape and/or a topic characterized by many real applications. Due to the highly innovative nature of the course, the contents presented will be strongly influenced by market trends. To this end, the Internet of Things paradigm and the various technologies connected to it will be deeply studied. More in detail, Wireless Sensor Networks, RFID, NFC, nanotechnologies will be investigated and their performance will be assessed by means of simulation tools. Finally, the security and privacy requirements will be analysed.
The aim is to provide an in-depth knowledge of the functionality of the latest generation of telecommunication systems, developing, at the same time, the ability to identify a problem and solve it by means of a professional approach. The course also includes the acquisition of transversal skills, such as language skills, written communication skills, and judgment autonomy. In fact, the module will try to motivate the student's critical attitude in evaluating the various solutions. The student will be able to make a judgment on the eligibility of the obtained results, motivating it on the basis of the acquired knowledge by means of a systematic and scientific approach. Moreover, the student will take care towards the constant technological innovations and will be able to develop innovative solutions that meet the requirements based both on the knowledge gained through the lessons and experience in the laboratory. Finally, the module will train the student by taking part in the open and debated issues within the scientific community and by identifying possible future developments.
