Master in Electronic and Communication Systems (EEIV)

The curriculum in Electronic and Communication Systems (ECS) is part of the Master’s Degree Course in Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles (EEIV) .

The aim of the ECS curriculum is to train electronic engineers with a sound knowledge of the methods and tools that make electronics the foundation of all systems that collect, process, transmit and store information, with particular emphasis on the electronic subsystems embedded in current and future vehicles .

During the first year courses are offered to give students a background in topics such as embedded and real-time electronic systems , automotive sensors , automatic control , vehicle communications , wired and wireless interconnects and power electronics .

The second year complements and specialises the first, providing specific examples of real electronic and communication sub-system projects installed on existing vehicles , exposing students to embedded systems programming and issues related to the secure interconnection of different sub-systems.

The first academic year is at the Department of Electrical, Electronic and Information Engineering Guglielmo Marconi (Bologna Campus), while the second academic year is at the Department of Engineering Enzo Ferrari (Modena Campus).

The ECS curriculum lasts two academic years . The number of places is limited to a maximum of 25 students . Admission is based on merit and interviews to assess motivation and ability. All classes are taught in English .

Muner's international faculty consists of highly experienced lecturers and professionals . The contents of the courses have been defined together with the contribution of the partner companies to ensure that the training is in line with the current requirements of the labor market.

The program requires students to participate in numerous laboratory activities , either on campus or at the premises of industrial partners, in line with a " learning by doing " approach. It also includes mandatory internships in private companies and lab-based thesis preparation activities , which are conducted using a "project work" approach.

MUNER is a university specializing in the automotive sector. It offers a variety of master's degree programs in mechanical, electrical, and electronic engineering. Its educational approach is characterized by learning by doing. MUNER is not a traditional university, but the result of the synergy between four historic universities and the world's 18 leading automotive companies, including the most prestigious in Motor Valley, where MUNER is rooted.

What is MUNER?

MUNER – Motorvehicle University of Emilia-Romagna – is a campus as big as a region, that has its roots in the Motor Valley: the land of legends and cutting-edge technology, where the history of the two and four wheels was written.

MUNER is now delivering 3 high-level Master’s Degrees (Advanced Automotive Engineering, Electric Vehicle Engineering, and Electronic Engineering for Intelligent Vehicles), serving over 700 students since its foundation in 2017 . More than 90% of MUNER graduates find employment right after earning their degree - about half of which are within our partner companies.

Here is where the most famous automotive Companies in the world put their know-how and the most innovative technologies at the service of students who want to become the new professionals in the automotive field and are willing to design road and racing vehicles, more sustainable propulsion systems and the subsystems for intelligent functions and production facilities in the pursuit of Industry 4.0.

ART – Advanced Solution, AVL, Bosch, CNH, Automobili Lamborghini, Danisi Engineering, Dallara, Ducati, Ferrari, HaasF1Team, HPE COXA, Marelli, Maserati, Pagani, Pirelli, Scuderia AlphaTauri, STMicroelectronics – and the main Universities of Emilia Romagna – Bologna, Modena e Reggio Emilia, Ferrara, Parma – merged together to design the 8 Automotive Engineering Careers of the future.

The Automotive Engineering Careers that drive you into the Future.

MUNER – The Motorvehicle University of Emilia Romagna benefits from the Emilia-Romagna Regional Operational Programme FESR 2014/2020, the planning document that defines the strategy and operations of use of Community funds allocated to the Region by the European Regional Development Fund, in the framework of the cohesion policy, in furtherance of the economic growth and attractiveness of the regional territory.

The Emilia-Romagna Smart Specialization Strategy (S3) focus also on mechanics and engine engineering among other productive areas of the Region. The Muner, as part of this specific environment, collaborates with the Region in the definition of the plans of activities for the achievement of S3 objectives. Thanks to the funds for the development of the Smart Specialization Strategy, MUNER aims at reinforcing the regional research and innovation system and facilitates the interaction between laboratories and enterprises.
