The Department of Electronic and Photonic Metrology, now 26 years old, was established in March 1998 as the first department at Wrocław University of Science and Technology to be created after March 1968. The department focuses on developing theories, methods, and application solutions for measurements using data recorded in both the time domain and transformed into the frequency and time-frequency domains. The scientific activity is rooted in physicomathematical modeling of real-world phenomena and algorithmization of the inverse problem. Combined with the advancements of modern electronics and photonics, this approach enables the acquisition of both qualitative and quantitative information. One of the department’s main objectives is to educate and foster the interests of students specializing in Electronic Equipment within the Faculty of Electronics, Photonics, and Microsystems at Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
Education in the Electronic Equipment specialization is focused on integrating theory and practice in the design, construction, programming, implementation, operation, and servicing of electronic instrumentation. This includes devices utilizing sensors (electrical, optoelectronic, biomedical, MEMS, etc.), microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital signal processors (DSP), specialized electronic circuits (CPLD, FPGA), and systems interfacing with computer technologies. In particular, students gain knowledge and skills in: Microprocessor-based systems and controllers, including real-time systems; Applications of optoelectronics and photonics in electronic instrumentation; Data acquisition and processing of empirical measurements; Electronic components for smart environments, with a strong emphasis on IT skills. Graduates of this specialization are well-prepared for creative roles (designers, consultants), managerial positions (work coordinators), as well as for the operation and servicing of electronic instrumentation used in consumer, medical, and industrial applications.
At the Master’s level of the Electronics program (including the Electronic Equipment specialization), since the 2011/12 academic year, courses have been conducted under the LabVIEW Academy program, based on an agreement with National Instruments. This program prepares students for the exam that grants the Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD) certification.
