28-01-2025

The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) is excited to announce the launch of the new Licentiatura in Communications and Information Engineering (LECI). This new program is an innovative and strategic response to the emerging demands in the fields of telecommunications and computer networks.

LECI features a comprehensive curriculum renewal, incorporating essential skills in the following areas:

  • Telecommunications Systems Softwarization: A focus on the development and implementation of flexible, software-based systems.
  • Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Systems: Introduction to AI principles and cognitive techniques applied to the design, management, and optimization of telecommunications networks.
  • Data Analysis: Emphasis on analytical data interpretation, equipping students to handle the increasing data flow in the telecommunications sector.

The softwarization of systems and the intensive use of AI-based learning and optimization techniques are key elements in supporting future telecommunications networks and the services they provide. The creation of LECI reflects the growing need to adapt traditional curricula to new technological realities.

LECI is supported by leading companies in the telecommunications sector. This strong industry involvement ensures that the program aligns closely with real market needs, providing training that meets the most sought-after technologies and skills in the field.

With this new degree, FCT NOVA reinforces its commitment to excellence in education and scientific innovation, preparing a new generation of engineers to lead the future of telecommunications systems.
