2. General presentation of the study programme

    The Study Programme in Electronics (ELN) Engineering is divided into a first-level three-years Laurea (L) degree (equivalent to the Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering, B.S.E.E.) and a following second-level two-years Laurea Magistrale (LM) degree (equivalent to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering, M.S.E.E.), of increasing complexity.

    Electronics Engineering prepares students to design, exploit and innovate electronic devices, circuits and systems and to integrate them into smart products for multidisciplinary application fields. Goal of the B.S.E.E. (L ELN) and of the M.S.E.E. (LM ELN) Study Programmes is to train professionals with rich and solid scientific, technological and engineering background, which combine the physical-chemical-mathematical aspects of the most advanced sciences, with the technological skills of electronic disciplines and engineering capabilities. The Electronics engineer will extend and promote the dissemination of smart, wearable, and autonomous systems even in fields and human activities that are still unexplored, so to enable performance improvements, competitive outcomes, and innovative breakthroughs, thus enabling all other sectors of science, technology and engineering.

     Electronic products, from the simplest consumer devices to advanced electronic systems for control and automation, communications, information systems, artificial intelligence, biomedical instrumentation, power generation and storage equipment, avionics, mechatronic systems and satellites, and so on, have become the backbone to any aspect of life, at such an extent that by now we take for granted their existence and performance. Electronics keep fostering the fundamental building blocks in all areas of modern life, for all "smart-" (smart cyber-physical systems, smart industries, smart manufacturing, smart living, smart mobility, smart lighting, smart cities, smart communities, smart aging, etc.) and" autonomous-" (vehicles, driving, fleet, manufacturing, etc.) systems.

    More information is available on the website of the Study Programme in Electronics Engineering: https://www.elettronica.polimi.it/?lang=en.

    Eventually, detailed information on every aspect of the “Student Experience” at the L ELN of POLIMI can be found in this document: https://polimi365-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/10175249_polimi_it/EcFUmT6x1iNCkfry9UMQZM0B5QdwUFa__b7KbkDmAsWFAg?e=TlMeLh.

3. Learning objectives

    The highly interdisciplinary nature of Electronics (ELN) requires a widespread and solid scientific and technical preparation. Its fundamentals are provided through the three-years Bachelor's Degree (L, Laurea), which allows students to learn the most relevant basic concepts in Electronics and to acquire skills for a rapid employment in the industry. Then, more advanced concepts and refined skills are provided through the two-year M.S.E.E. (LM, Laurea Magistrale), which allow students to master every aspect of design, development and deployment of electron devices, circuits and systems. Finally, further higher-level skills can be acquired through a three-year Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) programme, focused on high-level research and development (R&D) international activities.

    The “basic” disciplines of engineering (mathematics, geometry, physics, chemistry, programming) are taught in the first three semesters of the L ELN, during which students acquire the fundamentals of the scientific disciplines that constitute the essential and mandatory basement of any engineering programme. In the following semesters, students attend the “core” courses related to Electronics (i.e., analog electronics, digital electronic systems, electron devices, solid state electronics, optoelectronics, sensors and electronic instrumentation, microcontrollers). Along with them, also “side” courses are provided, aiming at expanding the background into other fields related to Information and Communication Technologies, such as Automation, Telecommunications and Computer Science. In the last semester, students who do not wish to continue their studies to the LM ELN may undertake an internship in one of the many companies active in the field of Electronics, so to acquire specific professional skills for a soft transition toward the job market.

4. Organization of the study programme and further studies

4.1 Structure of the study programme and Qualifications

    The Electronics Engineering (ELN) study programme is organized on three levels:

• first-level Laurea (L) in “Ingegneria Elettronica” (equivalent to Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering, B.S.E.E.), lasting three years;
• second-level Laurea magistrale (LM) in “Electronics Engineering” (equivalent to Master of Science in Electronics Engineering, B.S.E.E.), lasting two years;
• third-level Dottorato di Ricerca (Ph.D., Doctor of Philosophy programme), lasting three years.

    These three levels can be attended and passed only sequentially. The completion of each level allows either to entry the labour market or to continue the studies into the next level. 

    The Laurea in “Ingegneria Elettronica” (L ELN), lasting three years, provides solid engineering basics and a more specific know-how on electronic devices, circuits and systems, to allow students to access the labour market with an adequate methodological knowledge to employ and analyse electronic systems with professional competence. Students who do not intend to continue their studies can opt for an internship within one of the many Companies in Electronics and ICT, with the aim of acquiring specific professional skills in view of the transition to the labour market. Those who want to continue through the Master of Science, second level Laurea Magistrale, instead of the internship will attend courses during the L ELN aimed at boosting the competences in analytical modelling, calculus, and simulation methodologies. The teachings in the L ELN are delivered exclusively in Italian language. At the end of the L ELN, the student will graduate in “Ingegneria Elettronica”, corresponding to the Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering (B.S.E.E.).

    The teaching load is computed in university credits (CFU): 1 CFU is equivalent to 25 hours of student work and corresponds to 1 ECTS (European Credit Transfer System). In the Bachelor’s Degree (L ELN) most courses are 5 or 10 CFU, i.e. 5 or 10 ECTS; students must follow and pass 30 ECTS per semester (for example three courses of 10 ECTS each) and 60 ECTS per year. As an example, a 10 ECTS course consists of about 80-100 hours of class lectures (8 hours per week in a classroom, among theoretical lessons, exercise classes and lab activities), followed by individual or group study at home to prepare the exam, for a total of about 250 hours commitment per student (between classroom and home study). Therefore, each academic year consists of a workload for the student of approximately 1500 hours in total, equal to 60 ECTS.

4.2 Further Studies

    The qualification grants access to the "Laurea Magistrale" (2nd degree, equivalent to the Master’s of Science), to the "Corso di Specializzazione di primo livello" (1st level Specialization Course) and to the "Master Universitario di primo livello" (1st level University Master)

    The Laurea Magistrale in Electronics Engineering (LM ELN), lasting two years, which provides thorough and cutting-edge competences on the most advanced aspects of modern electronics design and system integration. As a matter of fact, the LM ELN provides the student with tools and skills required for integrated microelectronic circuit design, of digital, analog, mixed-signal, and radio frequency circuitry and instrumentation, for the development of micro- and nano-electronic semiconductor devices, for the design of micro-electro-mechanical systems, photonic sensors, optoelectronics, radiation detectors, and for the deployment of innovative electronic instrumentation for telecommunications, medicine, nanotechnology, biology, and for the creation of sophisticated ICT hybrid systems for automation, intelligent vehicles, robotics, avionics. The multi-disciplinary thematic of the LM ELN give the Electronics Engineer the maturity necessary to assume not only technical but also management positions of responsibility across the entire production chain. This second level degree is finalized with an experimental thesis activity, in which the student participates personally in the research and development activity on-going by POLIMI teachers and researchers in their research labs, or in collaboration with Industries or Research Centres in Italy and all over the world. All courses at the LM ELN are delivered in English, with a few eligibles in Italian. At the conclusion of the LM ELN, the student will graduate in Electronics Engineering, corresponding to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering (M.S.E.E.).

    The Dottorato di Ricerca (Ph.D. programme) in Electronics Engineering (more specifically in ICT, Information and Communication Technologies) further provides high-level training and expertise in Electronics Engineering researches and developments. The Ph.D. programme takes place over three years and aims at the advanced training of few selected professionals, able to carry out and lead direct innovation, research and development activities in the most advanced sectors of R&D in Electronics and in all other interdisciplinary fields. The main objective of the Research Doctorate is to further boost and foster the theoretical, experimental and methodological skills necessary for leading roles in the innovation and the management of engineering technologies through all its technical, economic, and human aspects. Information on the Ph.D. Research Doctorate is available at http://dottoratoit.deib.polimi.it/.

4.2.1 Access to the Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI

    The  “Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica” (L ELN, i.e. the Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering) allows admission to the “Laurea Magistrale in Electronics Engineering” (LM ELN, i.e. the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering), according to the access modalities described in the Regulations available on the University website: www.polimi.it/en/programmes/laurea-magistrale-equivalent-to-master-of-science/.

   Note that, according to the current rules, the admission to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI is not allowed if the student obtained the Bachelor of Science's Degree in Electronics at POLIMI with an average* less than 22/30. Similarly, the admission to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI is not permitted if the student obtained a Bachelor's Degree in other study programmes at POLIMI or in other universities, but with an average* lower than 23/30. Instead, graduates from any study programme of the School of Industrial and Information Engineering of POLIMI (see https://www.polimi.it/en/programmes/laurea-equivalent-to-bachelor-of-science) are admitted to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering with no curricular supplements provided they achieved an average* higher than or equal to 28/30. (* means the average provided by the Offices, weighted according to the number of credits and only on actual courses, i.e. excluding those supernumerary).

    Finally, the student who decides to carry out an Internship (“Tirocinio”) in a company, at the third year of the L ELN, instead of attending 15 ECTS of courses (see the following Paragraph 7.3) and then wants to access the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI must first complete her/his training by acquiring, through single courses, the curricular supplements specified by the Admission Commission to the LM ELN, for a maximum of up to 15 ECTS, before being enrolled to the LM ELN.

 

4.2.2 Access to a Master’s Degree other than M.S.E.E. at POLIMI

    Graduates in “Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica” can also move towards different “Lauree Magistrali” (M.S. degrees) other than Electronics or first-level Masters, always after passing the admission evaluation based on their curriculum of studies by the Admission Commission of that destination Study Program. It is highly recommended that the student consults the Regulations of the desired destination Master's Degree Programme. For POLIMI, these Regulations are listed on the University website: https://www.polimi.it/en/programmes/laurea-magistrale-equivalent-to-master-of-science.

    To facilitate admission to the desired destination Master's Degree, other than that in Electronics Engineering, the student can decide to include in her/his Study Plan some teachings (up to a maximum of 15 ECTS) that are preparatory to the destination Master’s Degree. In this case, the Study Plan will not be automatically approved (since it will differ from the Regulations of the Laurea in Electronics Engineering) and will become “autonomous”; therefore, the Study Plans Committee will evaluate it and then approve it or contact the student for any adjustment.

    Please note that the acceptance of an autonomous Study Plan, agreed to facilitate the transition to a Master's Degree other than that in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI, no longer guarantees admission to the latter without supplementary teachings.

6.2 Requested knowledge

    To optimize the use of available POLIMI resources, the total number of places for first-year enrollment in each Degree Programme at POLIMI is set by the Academic Senate, based on the indications provided by the School. Enrollment in the first year is conditional upon passing an admission test aimed at verifying knowledge and aptitude to study. The common test for all Engineering Study Programmes at POLIMI is called TOL (Test Online).

    The TOL can be taken by students in the penultimate and final year of high school, and by already graduated students. The Engineering test has a minimum threshold. Even with available places, students who do not achieve a score of 30.00/100 or higher cannot enroll. The ranking position of the candidates is established based on the score, on the available places for each TOL session, and on the order of preferences expressed.

    There are two phases of enrollment. The first phase of early enrollment is reserved to students who have passed the TOL in their penultimate year of high school with a score of 75.00/100 or higher.

    The second phase of standard enrollment is reserved to students who passed the TOL in their penultimate year of high school with a score lower than 75.00/100, students who passed the TOL in their last year of high school with a score equal or higher than 30.00/100, graduated students who passed the TOL with a score equal or higher than 30.00/100, or students who passed the TOL in the penultimate year of high school but did not enroll in the first enrollment window.

    Those who have achieved the minimum score set annually by POLIMI in one of the internationally recognized tests SAT, GRE, GMAT, or TOLC-I (CISIA Test), may be exempted from the TOL admission test.

    The test is conducted remotely, using the candidate's personal computer and smartphone/tablet, with a connection in a Zoom Room supervised by a responsible person.

    The attribution of Additional Educational Obligations (OFA TENG) occurs when, considering only the English section, the number of correct answers is less than 24. For the fulfillment of the OFA TENG, it is possible to present a certification of English language knowledge accepted by POLIMI or, alternatively, take specific tests at external entities.

    All details about the admission procedures, including the updated dates of the sessions scheduled for the TOL, are available on: https://www.polimi.it/en/futuri-studenti/admission-to-laurea-programmes/engineering

 

    Students intended to transfer to the “Laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica” who are already enrolled in any other “Laurea” at POLIMI, or who come from other Universities may request an evaluation for the recognition of the university credits (ECTS, also known as CFUs in Italian) already attained in the other study programme. The commission will accept any transfer requests only after evaluating the student's educational curriculum and considering the number of available seats.

7. Contents of the study Program

7.1 Programme requirements

    For the individual courses contributing to the acquisition of 180 ECTS, please refer to the following rules:

• the student is required to pass at least 50 ECTS in courses on "basics" (code "A" in the following tables), such as math, physics, chemistry, etc.;
• the student is required to pass at least 55 ECTS in “core” teachings specifically addressing Electronics (code “B” in the following tables), such as electronics and fundamentals of computer science, automation, communication, etc.;
• the student is required to pass at least 18 ECTS in "side” teachings (code "C" in the following tables); this constraint is automatically satisfied thanks to the courses in "Economia e Organizzazione Aziendale " and "Elettrotecnica", each worth 10 ECTS.
• the student can carry out an internship of 15 ECTS, replacing other teachings. This choice is advisable for students who do not intend to continue their studies in the Master's Degree course; vice versa, it is not recommended for those wishing to continue to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI. In fact, the internship is placed as an alternative to one of the two teachings either “Campi Elettromagnetici” or “Elettronica dello stato solido” and to one of the two teachings either “Elementi di analisi funzionale e trasformate” or "Fondamenti di Calcolo Numerico", for a total of 15 ECTS. Students who opted for the internship and then intend to continue to the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI must first complete their training by acquiring, through single courses, the curricular supplements specified by the Admission Commission, for a maximum of 15 ECTS, before enrolling to the M.S.E.E..
• the final exam is valued at 3 ECTS.

According to Law No. 33 of April 12, 2022, simultaneous enrollment in two programs is allowed. Enrollment in two programs is possible only if they are of different degree classes (classi di laurea) and differ in at least two-thirds of their educational activities regarding academic credits. 

Consistent with what is defined by Law No. 33, at the student's instance, the maximum number of CFUs already taken in the other program and validatable is 60 CFUs for BSc programmes.

Please note that courses belonging to programs of a different level or type from the program you are enrolled in cannot be validated.

Full details on when to apply for validation and the administrative fees to be paid are available on the Polimi website: https://www.polimi.it/contemporanea-iscrizione

7.2 Mode of study

    The LM ELN course requires full time attendance and includes, besides personal study, classroom and laboratory activities.

     All teachings are given in Italian.

    Some teachings on “basics” of the first year of Electronics Engineering Laurea are provided in common with students of other “Laurea” degree programmes in Automation and Control Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science Engineering.

7.3 Detailed learning objectives

    The “Laurea di primo livello in Ingegneria Elettronica” (i.e. the Bachelor of Science in Electronics Engineering, B.S.E.E.) degree has one Pre-Approved Study Plan (PSPA), which allows the student to choose between a wide range of more specialized courses at the third year.

    The organization of the studies is semi-annual: some courses are offered in the first semester (approximately between mid-September and December holidays), others in the second semester (approximately between the end of February and the beginning of June). During the semester there may be intermediate exam tests (mid-terms), on the part of the topics covered by the teaching up to that moment (the so-called "prove in itinere").

    The exam sessions are planned across a period of about 6-7 weeks after the end of each semester: in the winter session between January and February and in the summer session between June and July. A third time window dedicated to the exams, lasting about 3 weeks, is scheduled between the end of August and the beginning of September.

    The table below shows the general structure of the Study Programme. In the first three semesters, teachings on “basics” (code “A”) are focused on the development of both the mathematical-formal skills of the student and the understanding of physic-chemical phenomenology. On the other hand, in the last three semesters, when these skills have been sufficiently assimilated, specific “core” teachings about Electronics (code “B”) and other lessons on “side” courses (code “C”) are provided, to complete and integrate the student's engineering knowledge.

    Information on teachings’ timetables, the exams periods, and the specific exam dates can be found in the Academic Calendar. Relevant and more specific information regarding the organization of each individual teaching along with the syllabus of the course is provided in the webpage of each teaching, available in https://www.ingindinf.polimi.it/en/. The Academic Calendar and the detailed programs of all courses can be found on the POLIMI website.

    In order to let teaching be more effective and, therefore, to assist the student to comprehend, assimilate and master the subjects, various Innovative Education (D.I., “Didattica Innovativa”) activities have been activated in various subjects of the L ELN and the LM ELN. These innovative D.I. modalities may consist of:

• innovative teaching and learning methodologies such as BLENDED-LEARNING (flexible teaching, with a portion carried out in classroom and another portion online, to give immediate feedback to teacher and student) and FLIPPED-CLASS (lesson turned upside-down, in which the teacher indicates some topic to the student, who studies them at home, and then returns to the classroom for further discussions in small groups, to deepen understanding) to make the student more responsible, to facilitate collaboration between peers and to improve the relationship with the teacher;
• MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses, www.pok.polimi.it) multimedia contents that students study autonomously, to then go to the classroom and put into practice what they have learned.

    In the tables, teachings offering Innovative Education are highlighted with the symbol "d.i." and the number of corresponding ECTS within the total ECTS assigned to the teaching (e.g. the "3 d.i." of the subject "Microcontrollers" at the third year, out of the 5 ECTS total).

Notes

*    The student who plans to complete her/his university curriculum with the “Laurea di primo livello in Ingegneria Elettronica”, can carry out an internship in a Company as an alternative to the teaching of “Elementi di analisi funzionale e trasformate” ("Elements of functional analysis and transforms") or "Fondamenti di Calcolo Numerico" ("Foundations of Numerical Calculation") and “Campi Elettromagnetici” ("Electromagnetic Fields") or “Elementi di analisi funzionale e trasformate” ("Elements of functional analysis and transforms") or "Fondamenti di Calcolo Numerico" ("Foundations of Numerical Calculation") and “Elettronica dello stato solido” ("Solid State Electronics"), for a total of 15 CFUs (ECTS credits). The student who has opted for the internship and then wishes to apply for admission to the “Laurea Magistrale in Electronics Engineering”, i.e. the Master of Science in Electronics Engineering at POLIMI, must first complete her/his training by acquiring (as individual courses), the curricular supplements specified by the Admission Committee of the LM ELN at POLIMI, for a maximum of 15 ECTSs.

**    Regarding the 15 ECTSs of “electives”, which the student can freely choose among any course available at POLIMI, they will be evaluated by the Study Program Committee, to verify their consistency with the training programme in Electronics Engineering. For example, the teaching listed in the last box of the table above are definitely coherent with the Study Programme and then are automatically approved by the on-line system, when selected in the Study Plan by the student. Students wishing to choose other teachings than those proposed are therefore invited to contact in advance the delegate of the Study Program Committee.

7.4 Foreign language

    Students must have a certificate attesting their English language skills to at least level B1 of the CEF – Common European Framework.

7.5 Degree examination

    The final Degree examination is not a stand-alone exam, but consists of a verification of the competences acquired in the three courses of “Fondamenti di Elettronica”, “Elettronica Analogica”, and “Sistemi Elettronici Digitali”, and tested in those exams, worth 1 CFU each (out of the whole number of credits assigned to each one of those courses), for a total of 3 ECTS. More specifically, in the Study Plan these three partial exams are referred to as "Final Exam - Fundamentals of Electronics" (1 ECTS), "Final Exam - Design Workshop with SPICE" (1 ECTS) and "Final Exam - Circuital implementations in Field- Programmable Gate-Array”(1 ECTS), for a cumulative 3 ECTS Final Exam.
