Electronic Systems
Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Technologies and Services Engineering: Electronic Systems
The speciality of Electronic Systems of the Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Technologies and Services Engineering comes from the previous Degree in Engineering of Electronic Systems of this school.
In this speciality, the knowledge is acquired to conceive, design, implement and operate products, systems and services in the fields of instrumentation, industrial control, power electronics, digital systems, microelectronics and electronics communications..
The studies are structured annually in two four-month periods. There are a fall semester (September - January) and a spring semester (February - June).
Compulsory subjects of Electronic Systems
The first five semesters of the Degree are common in all the mentions and in them they acquire as much knowledge of basic subjects as the foundations of the different specialties. Thus, in the part of basic and common formation we have subjects of contents of Electronic Systems such as:
- Fundamentals of Electronics
- Circuits and Linear Systems
- Digital Design
- Functions and Electronic Systems
- Design of Microprocessor-Based Systems
The student does not have to decide what specialty he wants to attend until the sixth term, when he already has a clear vision of the contents of the four specialties. It is in the last three quarters when the student receives the knowledge of the chosen specialty. This knowledge is taught to subjects with a strong practical side. In the case of the mention of Electronic Systems, we have the following compulsory subjects:
- Design of Digital Electronic Systems
- Power Electronics and Control Systems
- Instrumentation and Measurement Systems
- Fundamentals of Micro and Nanotechnologies
- Communications electronics
Advanced Project of Audiovisual Systems Engineering
In the seventh semester, the student must take the subject of Advanced Project of Electronic Systems Engineering . n this subject, students develop a complex engineering project during a semester, which requires the collaboration within a group of, typically, between 6 and 10 students. Some examples of the projects that have been developed in the recent years are:

- HealZ: Products based on the use of physiological information obtained from body electrical impedance processed and presented in a Smartphone
Optional subjects of Electronic Systems
In addition, the student can also study a broad set of optional subjects optionals and seminars belonging to the speciality of Electronic Systems, such as:
- Compliance of Electronic Products
- Remote Control of Systems
- Design of Real-Time DSP Systems with FPGAs
- Optoelectronic Devices and 3D Vision
- Intelligent electronics
- Automobile electronics
- Introduction to Photovoltaic Solar Energy
- Sensors, Actuators and Microcontrollers in Mobile Robots
- Digital Systems Using Embedded Linux
- Renewable Energies
- Simulation and Analysis of Circuits through PSpice
- Low Cost Measurement Systems
Business internships
The student can also make the optional credits of the specialty through business internships. In this area, ETSETB manages a large number of agreements (371 in the 2013-2014 academic year) with a large number of companies in the ICT sector itself, as well as other sectors that require our students and graduates, given the transversality of the ICT field. Some examples of companies in the field of Electronic systems that our students regularly receive are:
- Lear Corporation Holding Spain S.L.
- Hewlett Packard Española, S.L.
- Urbiotica S.L.
- Simon Tech S.A.
- Idneo Tecnologies, S.L.
Bachelor's Thesis
Finally, the student has to complete the Bachelor's Thesis that consists of an original and personal work in the field of the specialty. It is at this moment when, mainly, our students take advantage of the strong international side in such a way that many of them carry out their end of degree project at universities, research centers or companies from all over the world. In this document you have the list of final degree Projects done in context of Electronic Systems.
Power electronics for applications in Renewable Energies
Non-volatile memories for new hardware architectures

Masters after the Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Technologies and Services Engineering: Electronic Systems
The training received by our students in the Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Technologies and Services Engineering has a part of the basic contents of engineering and global training in the field of Telecommunications, which is joint and independent of the specialty, and that assures the versatility of future professionals. In addition, it also ensures that our students can continue their training successfully in a large set of masters offered in our territory and around the world. Within the UPC, the most closely masters offered related to this degree are the following:
- Master in Telecommunication Engineering: One of the advantages of the new Bachelor's degree in Telecommunications Technologies and Services Engineering is that, regardless of the specialty you have done, the admission to Master in Telecommunication Engineering is the same. This master's degree enables the exercise of the profession of Telecommunication Engineer and gives an updated and analogous training to which the School has been offering in recent years. In addition, the Master's Degree in Telecommunication Engineering can be used in the Double Degree course with several European universities..
- Master in Electronic Engineering: This master's degree offers graduates with a broad profile that includes skills and knowledge in power, analog and RF electronics, instrumentation, sensors, digital systems, microinanotechnologies and microelectronics.
- Master in Biomedical Engineering: This master's degree offers scientific, technical and practical training, appropriate to the basic disciplines of medicine, which will allow those who cheat to develop their professional future in the field of industry, health, research, development and innovation.
