ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
Graduates:
1. will be able to apply their knowledge and understanding skills in order to demonstrate a professional approach to work;
2. will possess appropriate skills to develop and support reasoning and solve sector-specific problems;
3. will be able to identify and focus on more general problems of Information Engineering.
The achievement of the ability to apply the above knowledge and understanding will be accomplished through the critical study of texts proposed for self-study, stimulated by classroom activities, the research of case studies and applications presented by the professors, practical laboratory work, bibliographic research and field work, the execution of projects required as part of the course units in the core and supplementary subjects, as well as through the preparation of the final examination. The tests, written and oral exams, reports, practical work and problem solving activities imply the execution of specific tasks which aim to demonstrate the student's command of tools, methods and critical autonomy.
JUDGEMENT SKILLS:
Graduates:
1. will be able to identify, formulate and solve problems in the design, management, adaptation of system functionalities and applications for information acquisition, transmission and processing;
2. will be able to carry out commissioning, experimental testing, assess the performance of ICT system hardware/software, and establish the level of conformity to the design specifications, interpreting the obtained results;
3. will be able to focus the essential elements of technical reports presented or produced by interlocutors, and to extrapolate their qualifying and innovative features;
4. will be able to understand articles published in technical/scientific literature and proceed with the formulation of an autonomous opinion on their importance and implications;
5. will be able to retrieve and consult the main bibliographical sources, new standards emerging nationally and internationally, regulations concerning industrial product and system certification, also on the Internet.
The aforementioned results will be achieved in particular through:
• for points 1 and 2, all core and supplementary course units in sectors ING-INF/01, ING-INF/02, ING-INF/03 and ING-INF/05 which involve the execution of design and laboratory activities;
• for point 3, the core and supplementary learning activities which require the presentation of teaching materials in eLearning, seminars and, within further learning activities, work placements;
• for points 4 and 5, the activities involved in the preparation of the final examination.
COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
Graduates:
1. will be able to communicate problems, ideas, solutions, technical information effectively and efficiently also in the English language (B1 level), in writing and orally, to both specialist and non specialist interlocutors;
2. will be able to produce technical reports on the activities carried out and present summaries of the key results in group discussions;
3 will be able to work proficiently in a team to manage, design, test and verify the performance of ICT systems, processes and applications.
The aforementioned results will be achieved in particular through:
• for point 1, through foreign language learning activities;
• for point 2, the preparation of the final examination, and all learning activities which involve the presentation of a written report by the students for assessment;
• for point 3, all core, specific and supplementary course units in sectors ING-INF/01, ING-INF/02, ING-INF/03 and ING-INF/05 which involve the execution of group work and, within further learning activities, work placements.
LEARNING SKILLS:
Graduates:
1. will be able to keep abreast of methods, techniques and instruments used in the analysis of requirements, modelling and design, testing and commissioning, optimisation of performance for ICT systems and applications;
2. will be able to follow the evolution of ICT technologies and identify new information and training needs;
3. will be able to continue further studies in all field of Information Engineering with a high level of autonomy.
The aforementioned results will be achieved in particular through:
• for points 1 and 2, all specific and supplementary learning activities in sectors ING-INF/01, ING-INF/02, ING-INF/03 and ING-INF/05;
• for point 3, all learning activities in the degree programme.
