Electrical Engineering

Overview

During the Electrical Engineering programme of University of Liège students will develop technical skills to design and build electronic systems meeting the needs of individuals and society, while integrating the potential economic constraints.

Learning outcomes

The civil engineer at ULiège is able to use his knowledge and understanding of the basics of electricity, electronics and computers to capture, analyze, process and transmit signals and energy.

In particular, he is able to:

• to understand, model and predict the behavior of semiconductor devices from their basic physical principles;

• to realize programmable integrated circuits and to simulate their operation;

• design a basic processor and program it using the basics of system programming;

• to implement the principles of functional programming in a variety of contexts;

• design and develop buried embedded systems by exploiting the understanding of their hardware and software organization;

• exploit the mechanisms of conversion of a physical quantity into an electrical quantity to design sensors and identify the effects caused by their environment;

• to mathematically model a given problem, to identify the different decision variables and to choose those that will be implemented by optimizing a mathematical function;

• to use the fundamentals of control theory to model closed-loop systems and to synthesize different control systems;

• design and build electronic control systems and AC and DC power supplies;

• to understand, model and design analog and digital telecommunications systems;

• use the basic principles of audio and video techniques to record, reproduce and process sounds and image sequences;

• to use probabilistic models and to exploit information coding methods in multiple contexts.
