Abstract :
In the context of an international, English-spoken, post-graduate Telecommunications Engineering program, the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Bologna, Italy, offers a course “Electromagnetic Technologies for Link Design,” conceived for both telecommunications students and Master´s students from various engineering fields, all with very different Bachelor degree backgrounds. The course addresses the increasing demand from industry for engineers who are comprehensively educated, rather than extremely specialized. The course lecturers have expertise in various areas of applied electromagnetics and use a deductive approach to show diverse applications, all grounded in the same basic electromagnetic concepts.
