Introduction
The curriculum in Electronic and Communication Systems (ECS) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles (EEIV).
The aim of the ECS curriculum is to train electronic engineers with a sound knowledge of the methods and tools that make electronics the foundation of all systems that collect, process, transmit and store information, with particular emphasis on the electronic subsystems embedded in current and future vehicles.
During the first year courses are offered to give students a background in topics such as embedded and real-time electronic systems, automotive sensors, automatic control, vehicle communications, wired and wireless interconnects and power electronics.
The second year complements and specialises the first, providing specific examples of real electronic and communication sub-system projects installed on existing vehicles, exposing students to embedded systems programming and issues related to the secure interconnectionof different sub-systems.
The first academic year is at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering Guglielmo Marconi (Bologna Campus), while the second academic year is at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus).
The ECS curriculum lasts two academic years. The number of places is limited to a maximum of 25 students. Admission is based on merit and interviews to assess motivation and ability. All classes are taught in English.
Muner's international faculty consists of highly experienced lecturers and professionals. The contents of the courses have been defined together with the contribution of the partner companies to ensure that the training is in line with the current requirements of the labor market.
The program requires students to participate in numerous laboratory activities, either on campus or at the premises of industrial partners, in line with a "learning by doing" approach. It also includes mandatory internships in private companies and lab-based thesis preparation activities, which are conducted using a "project work" approach.

Career Opportunities
The curriculum has been designed in close collaboration with companies operating in the automotive sector, in order to allow the seamless insertion of graduates in high-level positions in the research, development and manufacturing environments focused on vehicles and their technologies.
Since companies require highly qualified engineers with specialized skills, the Master's program requires students to complete mandatory internships in private companies, as well as laboratory-based thesis preparation activities that follow a "project work" approach. Students also attend seminars with industry and international speakers, factory visits and alumni talks throughout the year.
The ability to communicate with other information technology disciplines makes the graduate in "Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles" an ideal candidate to play the role of project manager in the conception, design, implementation and maintenance of complex systems where the overall functionality depends on the interaction of multiple heterogeneous systems with a strong electronic component.
Graduates of the ECS curriculum will learn and understand the operating principles and design constraints of the fundamental electronic and communication devices and subsystems, as well as how they can be controlled and securely connected to each other and to the environment in automotive and motorcycle applications.
