Knowledge

  • Identify the operation and organisation of the Internet, next-generation technologies and protocols, component models, intermediary software, and associated services. Identify the operation and organisation of the internet, as well as next-generation technologies and protocols, including IPv6, MPLS, software-defined networking (SDN), VPNs, component models, middleware, and associated services.
  • Explain the principles of economics and management of human resources and projects, as well as the legislation, regulation and standardisation of telecommunications, with ethical responsibility and the professional deontology of the activity of the profession of telecommunications engineer.
  • Identify the internal workings, organisational structure, and decision-making processes in companies in the technology and telecommunications sector.
  • Integrate knowledge that provides a basis or opportunity to be original in the development and/or application of ideas, often in a research context.
  • Identify technological processes and basic structures in the design of integrated circuits.

Skills

  • Apply methods of information theory, adaptive modulation and channel coding, as well as advanced digital signal processing techniques to communications and audiovisual systems.
  • Design radio communication systems: antennas, equipment and subsystems, channel modelling, link calculation and planning.
  • Design integrated circuits for communications infrastructures.
  • Size networks for transport, broadcasting and distribution of multimedia signals.
  • Design radio navigation, positioning and radar systems, optimising their performance and accuracy for applications in different environments.
  • Plan decision-making and packaging of networks, services and applications considering the quality of service, direct and operating costs, the implementation plan, supervision, security procedures, scaling and maintenance, ensuring quality in the development process.
  • Communicate conclusions clearly and unambiguously, as well as the knowledge and foundations that support them, both to specialised and non-specialised audiences, orally and in writing.
  • Design communication components, such as routers, switches, hubs, emitters, and receivers, for operation in different frequency bands.
  • Plan and design products, processes and facilities in telecommunications engineering, ensuring the safety of people and goods, the quality of the final products and their approval.
  • Design networks and services, in the field of telecommunications engineering and related multidisciplinary areas.
  • Apply the operation and organisation of the Internet, next-generation internet technologies and protocols, component models, intermediary software, and services.

Competences

  • Plan heterogeneous local, access and backbone networks, ensuring convergence, interoperability and integration of telephony, data, television and interactive services.
  • Build advanced analogue and digital electronic systems through the use of programmable logic devices and the associated hardware description language.
  • Apply advanced knowledge of photonics and optoelectronics, as well as high-frequency electronics in telecommunication systems.
  • Develop electronic instrumentation, as well as transducers, actuators, and sensors.
  • Manage autonomous and continuous learning, in the academic and professional fields.
  • Implement cable, line and satellite communication systems in fixed and mobile environments, assessing the environmental impact and favouring the adoption of sustainable and energy-efficient technological solutions.
  • Manage telecommunications works and facilities, complying with regulations and ensuring the quality of service.
  • Integrate telecommunications technologies and systems in multidisciplinary contexts (bioengineering, photovoltaics, nanotechnology, telemedicine).
  • Plan and supervise multidisciplinary teams.
  • Defend a project carried out in the integral field of telecommunications before a university panel, in which the competences acquired in the teachings are synthesised.
  • Assess the sex/gender inequalities that can occur in different areas due to the use of intelligent systems and computational learning.
