Master's Degree (MSc) in "Internetworked Electronic Systems". Department of Electronics Engineering. Faculty of Engineering. Piraeus University of Applied Sciences (former Technological Educational Institute of Piraeus).

Description

Upon completion of the Postgraduate Programme, the graduate has highly specialized knowledge in the field of Electronic Systems and cross-linking / networking, including cutting-edge scientific and technological knowledge in the application fields of these objects in the design and production of products and services. This knowledge is the indispensable basis so that graduates are able for original thinking and the production of original research results in this field. As a result, they are expected to be placed critically towards new knowledge in their field, but also in related / neighbouring fields, such as those of electrical engineering, computer engineering / information technology and automation engineering. They hold specialized problem-solving skills in the field of cross-linked Electronic Systems, which are necessary so that graduates be able to participate in research and innovation actions in the field, and to produce new knowledge and new processes, synthesizing knowledge from various objects to reach the respective target. Finally, graduates are expected to have managerial abilities and capacities of beneficial transformation of study or work data that are complex, unpredictable and require new strategies to approach. Graduates will be able to take responsibility in order to contribute to professional knowledge and practice and coordinate the work and performance of groups working under their supervision.

Further Information

The object of the ΜΑ Program is the postgraduate teaching, research and practical application of scientific knowledge in advanced disciplines of Electronics, Telecommunications and Information Technology, in designing and developing relevant systems, and their networking with the concept of data and information exchange, their self-organization and optimization of their behaviour and effectiveness. The specific objectives of the MA Program are the following:
• postgraduate specialization through education and research of higher education graduates in Greece and abroad in advanced Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics systems. These systems incorporate scientific results and cutting-edge technologies, while supporting devices, products and services in disciplines such as intelligent communication networks and information exchange systems through the Internet, intelligent energy management networks (self-organizing) sensor networks, robotics and automation, maritime electronics systems, biomedical systems, digital audio-visual content editing and broadcasting systems, etc.
• production of specialized scientific force who can be directly integrated into the labour market and meet the growing business demand observed internationally in this field.
• cultivate to students the professional integrity and social responsibility in relation to the impact of their science to society and the environment, the open spirit of cooperation and European / international orientation.

Relation To Employment
