  • Thinking about adding further contents in measurement and instrumentation to your curriculum?

    Remember you may always add a course of your liking to your learning agreement (piano di studio) as a free-choice course (corso a scelta libera).

    Here's some ideas:

    • Electromagnetic compatibility - In an ideal world, your electronic design will always work fine since first time... but you might need some help to achieve that in the real world. Electromagnetic fields and stray currents have a mind of their own, and seemingly like to play nasty tricks on your designs. That is, unless you can manage signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility design criteria.

    • Measurement architectures for cyber-physical systems - Put an embedded microcontroller, a few sensors and some network interface into a box, mix and shake, and there you have it... a real mess. You definitely need design criteria to go cyberphysical, and maybe succeed in implementing an IoT node than can produce true measurements, rather than turn out random numbers.

    • Wearable sensing design for healthcare - Systems design means acknowledging that your clever circuit/sensor/processor will operate in concert with so many other things. Understanding the full picture is part of your design tasks, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the healthcare world. Learn to get out of your comfort zone and interact with different engineering fields. 

    • Quality engineering - Engineers are usually hired to turn bright ideas into products. Companies like to think of this as a set of inter-related processes, tasks, goals, etc. Quality means... lots of things actually, but the basics still are "say what you do, and do what you say". With some sound rules that may help you, if you are interested.
