Education objectives
The Electrical and Computer Engineering course curriculum associates a fast technological evolution and a high degree of interdisciplinary subjects (Electronics, Telecommunications, Energy, Industrial Control, Digital Systems, Integrated Manufacturing, and Information Technologies). The Integrated Master course in Electrical and Computer Engineering has the aim of producing professionals with competences on the design, analysis, project creation and usage of products and services in the above areas.
These skills are built on a solid base of basic scientific areas such as Mathematics, Physics and Computation, as well as scientific areas related to the Electrical and Computer Engineering where students are exposed to advanced technology. The graduate leaves the school confident on his/her knowledge of the relevant aspects about the technologies and computational tools applied to the area of Electrical and Computer Engineering.
The curriculum addresses both theory and practical subjects based on laboratory work, developing the ability of the graduate to face new situations, to continue the learning process throughout his/her life, enforcing his/her abilities in innovation and slef-learning skills.

Evaluation rules
The following modes of evaluation are used with regard to academic qualifications:
- Evaluation based solely on an examination or completion of a final project.
- Evaluation based on work done throughout the semester excluding examination or final project. In these courses students can expect to carry out, for example, laboratory activities, mini-tests, tests, individual or group projects, seminar-related activities, any combination of which will be used to determine the final grade.
- Evaluation based obligatorily on an examination or a final project. In these courses there extists a form of evaluation similar to one of the aformentioned activities in paragraph 2 as well as a form of evaluation based on a final exam.
- Evaluation based on work done throughout the semester with the possibility of foregoing an examination or a final project.
The final Dissertation (or Project) involves a public discussion with a Jury.
