Introduction

Description

The BS program “Electrical engineering and computer science” will prepare professionals in all sectors of applied physics and engineering. The main educational directions and outcomes include:

  • The problems and the futures of electromagnetic wave generation, propagation and detection in sub-millimeter and microwave ranges, the main types and characteristics of metamaterials and composite materials with anisotropy;
  • Electromagnetic theory and the physical and technical fundamentals for the design of electrical devices. Theoretical, practical and methodological skills of modern information technology;
  • Knowledge about computer modelling and simulation of physical problems and their characteristics, as well as the capabilities for complex projects implementation;
  • Microsystems and nano-engineering and their application in the fields of life sciences, information and communication technology, security, transport, medicine and aerospace. The specifications and mechanisms of electromagnetic, micromechanical and optical phenomena in nanoscale at technological limitations;
  • Research and educational profile that covers electronics from a very broad range of basic topics including semiconductor device technology and circuits to systems integration and embedded systems implementation in industrial applications-oriented to scientific and industrial automation;
  • Communication Systems which includes, technical and economic aspects of wireless, wired and optical communication systems and services, fixed and mobile communication systems. The theoretical bases of information data processing and transmission, the methods for encoding and securing and intended protocols and algorithms in modern IT;
  • Preparation of qualified personnel who have mastered modern scientific achievements and are able to understand the prospects for their developments.

The project will be implemented jointly with the IT Educational and Research Center at YSU, and in partnership with Denmark and St. Korea Universities.

Program Outline

The first two years cover key topics such as Planning and methods for research work, Modern problems of profession, Radio remote sensing and control, Microwave and terahertz physics, Antennas and propagation of radio-waves, Integrated optoelectronics, Modern telecommunication systems, Nonlinear and parametric processes, Programmable electronic devices, and more.

The second two years explore key topics such as Terahertz and microwave spectroscopy, Radio astronomy, Microwave microscopy, Electrodynamics in artificial environments, Information security, Nanophotonics, Mathematical methods for digital signal processing, Selected topics of propagation and radiation of the electromagnetic waves, Radiophysics methods for materials research, Radio engineering systems and more.

Students will be able to use theories, computer simulation and modelling, as well as experimental tools for data, analyzes and decision, interpreting and visualizing obtained results and applying that knowledge in real applications.
