Disciplinary Areas
|
|
DEEC's activity is organized into 18 subject areas grouped into 5 large clusters that cover the fundamental aspects of Electrotechnical and Computer Engineering. These areas deepen knowledge, establish relationships with each other and with other areas of engineering and constitute the pillars of engineering that are revolutionizing the 21st century, including artificial intelligence, semiconductors, 6G, quantum computing and communications, robotization, cyber-physical systems, or energy. Such topics are investigated and taught within these 5 areas, with knowledge based on international research projects in which DEEC participates and leads. DEEC's disciplinary area groups are the following:
|
| Automation |
Area related to the study, design, and development of automated systems and processes, with wide application in various sectors of society, such as transport and health, among others. Automation systems can be simple machines, such as automatic doors, or complex systems, such as robots and systems using artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms. Automated technology makes it possible to provide processes with greater security and efficiency, as it generally eliminates human error. |
| Electronics and Computers |
Area that covers the study, design, and development of electronic components, circuits, and systems, which can range from microprocessors and sensors to integrated circuits and embedded systems, as well as the design and implementation of computer software and hardware, with a view to improving performance, and the functionality of computers and related devices. It comprises a set of specialized sub-areas, including digital and analog electronics, semiconductors, computer architecture, and artificial intelligence. Application domains include consumer electronics such as smartphones and laptops, medical devices, data communication, transportation systems, industrial automation, etc. |
| Energy |
Study and development of technologies and systems for the generation, distribution, and consumption of energy, focusing on renewable sources of energy, namely solar, wind, hydroelectric, biomass, wave and geothermal. This field aims to optimize energy systems to ensure energy efficiency, reliability, stability and robustness of operation and safety, as well as sustainability, seeking to minimize environmental impacts. It encompasses different specialized sub-areas, such as renewable energy conversion technologies, energy storage systems, renewable gases (biogases and hydrogen), smart grids, electric mobility, energy markets and regulation, or energy policy, among others. |
| Signals and Systems |
This area covers the study and development of mathematical models and techniques for analysing, processing, and transmitting signals. Signals refer to any measurable quantity that varies over time or space, namely sound, images, and data. Systems can be any device or process capable of handling or transmitting signals. Signals and systems are essential components of many modern technologies and applications. |
| Telecommunications |
Study, design, and development of technologies and systems for transmitting information over long distances, including voice, data, image, and video communications. Telecommunications engineers aim to develop technology and optimize systems to ensure they are reliable, secure, efficient, and affordable, improving the quality and speed of communication. This field comprises a set of sub-areas, such as communication technologies and protocols, computer networks, wireless communication, mobile communication, network security, multimedia technology, etc. |
