3 Chairman’s Address

Greetings! The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) of the University of Patras has entered the period of maturity, as it is already in the 5th decade of its life. Currently, it is the largest Department of Polytechnic School, possessing excellent buildings and technological infrastructure. Our Department has gained a leading position in the Greece, and a distinct, valuable place at the international academic level. The development of the Department was so intense, both at the educational level and at the research level, contributing significantly to the high-level scientific potential, that led to the technological development of the country, while at the same time its graduates excel in the academic, scientific and professional field abroad.

Our Department has been evaluated both recently and in the past, by Prof. Stavros Koubias independent evaluators who acknowledged the high quality of the educational and research. The QS World Ranking / Top Universities system (www.topuniversities.com), one of the world’s most reputable information providers for higher education, ranks our Department among the global academic elite, in positions 300–400, after evaluating approximately 15,000 related programs (Departments) internationally. In addition, recently, the Department's Undergraduate Curriculum has been accredited with excellent results, by an independent committee of academic certifiers (from abroad) and in accordance with the procedures foreseen by the Quality Assurance Authority (called ADIP). Developments in the science of Electrical & Computer Engineering were rapid in recent years, while they are anticipated to be even more impressive in the coming years. Our Department considering what is happening both in science and in society, maintains close links with major academic institutions, as well as with leading productive units, in Greece and abroad, and strives to develop and continually improve the undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum, in order to respond to technological progress and to provide modern and high-level education to its students. This bulletin contains the curriculum of the undergraduate 5-year program of studies together with a summary of the content of the courses, the regulations and the curriculum of the postgraduate studies. Information on the foundation of the University of Patras, the structure and operation of the ECE Department. The curriculum of the undergraduate studies of our ECE Department is continiously evolving and being improved according to the scientific subjects which must correspond both to basic demands and current scientific trends, as well as to current technological peaks. This is a contemporary five-year program that covers the areas of telecommunications & information technology, electrical power systems, electronics & computers, automatic control systems & industrial informatics. There are compulsory courses of basic knowledge, common to all students, as well as elective courses that students must choose according to their special interests. Study in our Department is based upon both theoretical and laboratory consolidation of knowledge. Our new undergraduate program of studies is divided in 10 semesters. The first six semesters are comprised of compulsory courses common to all students, plus elective courses of general education (of pedagogical, cultural or economic content) and a foreign language and terminology course. At the beginning of the 7th semester, the students have to specialize their studies, by choosing one of the following fields of specialization (while selecting basic courses from other fields of specialization in order to expand their basic knowledge and retain a good degree of specialization):  Communications  Information Technology  Smart Grid−Renewable Energy Sources−High Voltages  Energy Conversion−Power Electronics−Electrotechnical Engineering Materials−Renewable Forms of Energy  Computers  Electronics and Embedded Systems  Signal, Systems and Automatic Control  Systems Control and Robotics  Cyberphysical Systems A prerequisite for obtaining the diploma in Electrical & Computer Engineering is the submission of the Diploma / Master Thesis. The 10th semester is devoted exclusively to the thesis in order to enhance its quality and its research character. The Department adopted the principles and rules of the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation of Credits System (ECTS). Therefore, the transfer and accumulation of successful performance in other relevant programs at national and european level is possible; this facilitates mobility and academic recognition internationally. The Department also offers a graduate program leading to the granting of a doctorate degree (Ph.D). To enrol in this program, students are selected twice a year basis, if they hold a degree in areas either of technology or sciences. This program initially consists in attending courses (with exams), the number of which depends on the degree held by graduate students, and, in parallel, in carrying out the Ph.D dissertation, the novelty of which is examined in accordance with the international standards. Besides, the Department participates to several multi-disciplinary postgraduate programs: “Green Electric Power and the Advanced Network Infrastructure for its Management and Economy ” (coordinator), “Biomedical Engineering” (coordinator), “Human-Computer Interaction” (coordinator), "Integrated Hardware and Software Systems", "Processing Systems of Information and Machine Learning", “Space Technologies, Applications and Services” and “Applied Optoelectronics” in cooperation with other Department/Universities. The Department has 40 faculty members, 18 members of teaching, research and technical supportive personnel, 6 members of administrative personnel, and approximately 2600 undergraduate and postgradiuate students. As Head of this Department, I am sending our most heartfelt wishes for a happy and creative academic year! The Head of the Department Patras, December, 2019 Professor Dr.-Ing. Stavros KOUBIAS

It included eight chairs, an institute and five laboratories In the '80s, the VLSI-Design Laboratory (Wireless Communications, General (Division of Telecommunications and Electrotechnics, Wire Communications, Electronics), the Electrotechnic Materials Physical Metallurgy and Nuclear Laboratory (Division of Electrical Power Technology). In the following period up to Systems), and the Automation and Robotics 1982, eleven more chairs and five laboratories Laboratory (Division of Systems and (Applied Electronics, Automatic Control, Automatic Control) were added to the Computers, Electrotechnics, and Department. In addition 39 faculty positions Electromechanical Energy Conversion) were were established: 19 for Lecturers, 6 for established, while six chairs and the Assistant Professors, 7 for Associate laboratories of Physical Metallurgy, Nuclear Professors, and 7 for Professors. Technology and Computers were transferred to other departments (Chemical, Mechanical In the beginning of the '90s one more and Computer Engineering). laboratory, the Laboratory of Computer Systems (Division of Telecommunications & In accordance with the law 1268/82, the chair Electronics) and further faculty positions were system was abolished and Divisions were established. In 1994, the Division of created within the Departments into which all Telecommunications & Electronics was split personnel and the laboratories were into two: Division of Telecommunications & incorporated. Three Divisions were formed in Information Technology and Division of the Department of Electrical Engineering as Electronics & Computers.
