The course has two main objectives. First and foremost, it wants to provide the students an introduction to the industrial reality that exists near the University of Pavia in the area of Microelectronics and Photonics. This is done through a series of seminars held by Design Managers of several Companies that have established themselves in the Pavia/Milano area. The presentations will include an overview of the company profile and explain the opportunities offered to the students and expectations the company has toward them. The second objective is to present some advanced research topics in Microelectronics and Photonics, with relevant industrial impact. This is done through a series of seminars given by the instructors.
