POLITO Master's Degree in Electronics Engineering (GreenChips-EDU)

The Electronic Engineering program provides a solid foundation in electronics, electromagnetism, and measurement techniques. This Master’s degree program is part of the GreenChips-EDU project. 

The GreenChips-EDU project is funded by the DIGITAL Europe Programme of the European Union and aims to attract engineering talents with a focus in "green semiconductors", designed with sustainability in mind. The project seeks to train engineering talents by aligning education with sustainability goals and ideas. The goal is to empower students to contribute to a green and circular economy.

During the first year, you will acquire fundamental knowledge through four main course pairs:

• Digital electronics / Integrated digital systems
• Measurement systems and sensors / Testing and certification
• High-speed electron devices / Optoelectronics
• Analog and power electronics / Analog and telecommunication electronics

An additional elective course allows you to deepen your knowledge in mathematics, signal processing, or hardware/software integration. These core subjects will prepare you to follow a specialisation path that explores advanced areas of electronics. The program concludes with the preparation and defence of a thesis. 

How will you learn?

Learning takes place through lectures, hands-on projects, classroom exercises, and laboratory activities — both hardware and software-oriented, as well as experimental. You will apply theoretical concepts to real-world cases and develop essential soft skills through three interdisciplinary workshops.

Programme structure

The Master’s Degree in Electronic Engineering is structured into several specialization tracks, each designed to provide in-depth expertise in a specific area of the discipline. These tracks cover the full spectrum of electronic engineering, from device technologies and circuit design to system integration and applications, enabling students to tailor their studies according to their interests and career goals.

• Embedded systems: Focuses on the co-design of hardware and software for high-performance, energy-efficient, and reliable embedded architectures.
• Electronic systems: Covers the design and integration of complex on-chip and on-board systems for embedded, automation, and automotive applications.
• Microelectronics: Specializes in the design of digital and analog integrated circuits using advanced integration technologies and industrial CAD tools.
• Analogue and power electronics design: Bridges analog signal acquisition, digital processing, and power conversion, with applications in mechatronics and control systems.
• Electronics for industrial applications: Trains engineers to design electronic systems for industrial automation, robotics, and power management, including communication and photonics systems
• Radiofrequency system design: Focuses on RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave circuit design for telecommunications and sensing, including high-speed data conversion and RF CAD techniques.
• Micro/nano-electronic systems: Explores micro- and nano-scale technologies for sensors, biomedical devices, and multifunctional integrated systems.
• Devices and technologies for integrated electronics and optoelectronics: Concentrates on electronic and optoelectronic device technologies, covering modeling, fabrication, and characterization of advanced materials and microsystems. 

Career opportunities

Graduates in Electronic Engineering can pursue a wide range of professional roles, including:

• Data analysis: Identifying market needs and client objectives, analysing and defining system specifications for electronic components and devices, and exploring new application opportunities.
• Design: Designing analog and digital electronic systems and components, including innovative circuits and integrated systems (System-on-Chip) that combine multiple ICT technologies.
• Management of electronic laboratories and facilities: Leading high-tech laboratories or industrial R&D activities, managing technological development and research projects.
• Research: Working in industrial or academic research centres on the development of new devices, systems, and advanced electronic applications.
• Freelance consulting: Providing professional consultancy services in electronic engineering to companies, public institutions, and organisations in various sectors.
