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 21/10/2024 at 15:00 room to be defined, max 15 students)
  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.

• “Circuit modelling of PCB parasitic elements” by Prof. Santi Agatino Rizzo (18 hours, 6 meetings, first lesson 11/11/2024 at 14:00 room to be defined, max 10 students )
  The simulation laboratory aims to introduce students to the use of a commercial software widely used in industry for obtaining circuit models of the parasitic elements of device package and board.
  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, 5 meetings, first lesson 25/10/2024 at 15:00 room to be defined, max 15 students)
  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, industrial environments. The student will acquire knowledge on experimental study of measurement systems, sensing/harvesting devices and autonomous systems. 
   
• Coursera courses are not valid as “other activities”.

You have to book a course no later than  October 20th by following this link. To book a course, after selecting the course scroll through the calendar and select the day of the first lesson. Please, book only one course.

Prof. Salerno (nunzio_DOT_salerno_AT_unict_DOT_it) will organize the calendar of the lessons in accordance with the teachers.

All courses offered are compact and with practical lessons. For these reasons, the activity is only in presence, and attendance is mandatory. Only one absence is tolerated.
