The module aims to provide the necessary knowledge and skills for understanding the innovative telecommunication systems, in order to create dynamic and skilled professional figures, with respect to the current market requests. In the program, the addressed topics are selected on the basis of two criteria: a topic that represents fundamental knowledge in the current technology landscape and/or a topic characterized by many real applications. To this end, the Internet of Things paradigm and the various technologies connected to it will be deeply studied. More in detail, Wireless Sensor Networks, RFID, NFC, and nanotechnologies will be investigated. Finally, the security and privacy requirements will be analyzed. The goals are the following:

to provide a preliminary knowledge of the functionality of the latest generation of telecommunication systems, developing, at the same time

the ability to identify a problem and solve it by means of a professional approach

the acquisition of transversal skills, such as language skills, written communication skills, and judgment autonomy. In fact, the module will try to motivate the student's critical attitude in evaluating the various solutions. The student will be able to make a judgment on the eligibility of the obtained results, motivating it on the basis of the acquired knowledge by means of a systematic and scientific approach

the knowledge of the constant technological innovations and will be able to develop innovative solutions that meet the requirements based both on the knowledge gained through the lessons and experience in the laboratory. Finally, the module will train the student by taking part in the open and debated issues within the scientific community and by identifying possible future developments.
