Location of Politecnico Di Torino
Everyone is aware that the explosion of information technologies has now permeated every aspect of our lives. The BSc course in Computer Engineering aims to form technicians who can utilise and innovate tools of information and communication technologies (ICT) using a typical engineering approach to address issues common to a very broad spectrum of applications. This engineering approach, combining theoretical and applicative aspects, characterises and differentiates this course of study from other degree programmes offered by the University in the computer field. It focuses on the approach to problem solving demanded by a rapidly evolving society and a market that is turning increasingly global.
The themes that characterise the computer engineer¿s training range from the development of computer systems for businesses, to automation in industry and services, multimedia applications, robotics, intelligent systems and the development of telematics systems.
The training enables graduates to interact with specialists in all engineering fields, in particular with other information professionals, but also specialists in the economic-management area and all those who increasingly use these technologies, such as doctors and lawyers.
The information skills taught during the programme include the basic principles of the architecture of computers and computing systems, problems related to the design and integration of hardware and software systems in modern information processing systems, and extensive knowledge of operating systems, programming languages, techniques and methods of software engineering, principles and technologies for modeling, designing and managing databases.
Contents
Computer engineering students receive a solid grounding in basic sciences (mathematics, physics, chemistry) as well as engineering sciences, providing the tools and scientific methods to ensure a rigorous approach to engineering problems.
The analysis, design and maintenance of IT systems requires wide-ranging scientific knowledge in key areas of information engineering (electronics, automation, telecommunications), accompanied by thorough technological and methodological expertise in the main areas specific to computing.
The BSc degree programme has a single core curriculum that provides students with basic engineering concepts and thorough knowledge of the main characteristics of information processing systems, for both hardware and software components. In particular, the courses cover the basic principles of computers and computer systems, problems encountered in the design and integration of hardware and software, and advanced aspects of operating systems, programming languages, techniques and methods of software engineering, and principles and technologies for modeling, designing and managing databases.
The first year, shared among all engineering courses, covers basic topics in mathematics, physics, chemistry and IT, supplemented by English. The second year provides a common knowledge base in the field of information engineering regarding electrical engineering, electronics, advanced architecture and programming of computer systems, along with completion of basic training in mathematics and physics.
The third year focuses on the specific contents of IT engineering, integrated with topics of electronics, telecommunications and automation. Focus is placed on application problems and in-depth studies specific to information processing systems, with study of the theoretical and practical aspects of operating systems, design and management of databases, and design of software and computer networks. During the third year students can choose to do an internship in a company. The final exam consists in preparing a written dissertation.
