Summary: | This paper describes the new course "Introduction to ICT Engineering" which has been conceived, designed and implemented at Telecom-BCN (ETSETB-UPC) from initial specifications and restrictions. It is the first of a series of four project subjects distributed throughout the new curricula. It is organized in three parallel paths covering the systemic vision of complex ICT systems, the basic concepts of economics, business and project management and the physical realization of a design-build project. In the first 5 years, this project is beling performed using the SeaPerch platform, a small underwater robot developed at MIT Sea Grant. A payload which includes measurement and communications subsystems is designed and built. After testing with small groups for two semesters, the course will be undertaken with around 250 students in the spring semester of this year. |
