Aims: The aim of the programme is the writing and defence of a doctoral thesis in Electronic Engineering, in which process the doctoral student will get an extensive professional training in various fields, especially in those that require creativity and innovation. It shall provide skills to cope with contexts with little specific information, to find the key questions that must be answered to solve a complex problem, to design, create, develop and launch new and innovative projects, etc. The doctoral studies shall guarantee the acquisition of the basic competences established in the Spanish Qualifications Framework for Higher Education.

Description: Electronic engineering is by nature a cross-disciplinary field of knowledge. For example, we find electronic developments in areas as diverse as chemical engineering (development of sensor systems, process control), informatics engineering (communication of data, acquisition and processing systems), medicine (acquisition and image processing, diagnostic data processing), physical activity science (ergonomics, support systems for disabled, precision measuring systems), physical sciences (measurement equipment, data acquisition systems), etc. Multidisciplinary applications mean engineers need to know in depth subjects such as power electronics, digital electronics, signal processing and communications electronics. The Doctoral Programme in Electronic Engineering is designed following this idea, as a tool with which train doctors experts in the development of electronic systems and equipment able to successfully meet their work in diverse disciplines and carry out research in the field of electronics to improve them.
