3 CFU 'other activities'

Dear Students,

regards the 3 CFU of 'other activities' you can choose one of the following activities:

• “Digital control for power converters” by STMicroelectronics (18 hours, 8 meetings, first lesson 15/05/2023)
  The course introduces the fundamentals of digital control of power converters with a practical approach based on microcontrollers. In particular, the course will be based on STMicroelectronics STM32 family of 32-bit ARM Cortex-M core-based microcontrollers and will use the related ecosystem, STM32 IDEs, providing a kick-start to its use in the industrial world.

• “Electromagnetic FEM virtual laboratory” by Prof. Nunzio Salerno (18 hours, 7 meetings, first lesson 22/05/2023)
  The laboratory consists of the use of free software (“Windows OS”) based on the finite element method (FEM) applied to the solution of an electromagnetic benchmark. An optimization algorithm will be then implemented and used together with the FEM software to solve the benchmark automatically.
  The course is organized into 6 meetings, each lasting about 3 hours. A final event, in which students present the results of their activities, will conclude the course.

• “Electrical and electronic measurements laboratory” by Prof. Carlo Trigona (18 hours, 7 meetings, first lesson 19/05/2023)
  The laboratory aims to introduce students to the use of sensors and transducers for different fields of application with particular emphasis on electrical machines, power systems, and industrial environments. The student will acquire knowledge on experimental study of measurement systems, sensing/harvesting devices, and autonomous systems.

Unlike in recent years, Coursera courses are not valid as “other activities”.

You have to email Prof. Salerno with your choice no later than May 13th.
Prof. Salerno will organize the calendar of the lessons in accordance with the teachers.
