Electrical and Electronics Engineering

(Intelligent Sensing and Systems)

Electrical – Electronics The engineering program has become a strategic engineering axis that brings together and fundamentally transforms the classic subfields of electrical and electronic engineering. Sensor networks, embedded systems, control and communication infrastructures, power electronics, AI-powered decision-making mechanisms, and cyber-physical systems are no longer designed as individual technologies, but as integrated systems that operate in real time, require high reliability, and are in constant interaction with the physical world. Autonomous vehicles, smart grids, industrial automation systems, and defense and space applications are the most visible examples of this transformation.

Research programs on autonomous and cyber-physical systems supported by the NSF and DARPA in the USA, and intelligent systems platforms developed under the Horizon Europe and ECSEL/Key Digital Technologies initiatives in Europe, demonstrate that this field is now being treated as a forward-looking, holistic, and independent specialization within electrical and electronic engineering . The program, structured with an engineering focus, aims to integrate engineering competencies that enable the sensing, modeling, control, and safe autonomous operation of physical systems under a single framework.

In this program, artificial intelligence, control theory, and automation are treated not as separate sets of courses in the classical sense, but as fundamental components embedded in the design of electrical and electronic systems. Safety, security, and system robustness are central concepts of the program; fault tolerance, reliability, and human interaction of autonomous systems are considered an integral part of engineering design. In this respect, the program aims to train engineers who can not only develop algorithms or hardware, but also design complex systems end-to-end, capable of operating in real-world conditions.
