TEI of PiraeusOverview

TEI of PiraeusCampus Views

TEI of PiraeusGeneral Information TEI-Piraeus is located in Athens-Egaleo, in the historic

district of Elaionas (the Olivier of Athens). It is claimed by archaeologists that this was the location of the Academy of Plato in ancient Athens.

TEI-Piraeus was established in 1983.

Students are accepted to study in TEI-Piraeus through national ranking examinations after having completed secondary education.

TEI-Piraeus offers both theoretical and practical education in undergraduate (BA / BSc) and graduate (MSc) level.

Research is a major activity enhanced by our interaction with the productive forces of the society and the economy.

TEI of Piraeus - Facts and Figures Two (2) Faculties, ten (10) enrolling Departments, two

(2) non-enrolling Departments (Maths and Physics/Chemistry), two (2) supporting Centers for Languages and Sports.

Total enrollment around 15,000 students, Academic Staff of 150 tenured professors and approx. 250 full-time adjunct professors. Administrative Staff of 250, including lab technicians.

Own premises on Athens-Egaleo campus (nine major buildings), with Academic and Digital Library, Computing Center, Sports facilities, Students dinning facilities – no student dorms facilities.

Currently Running An ERASMUS & International Relations Office, A Liaison Office offering Career and Student

Counseling Services, A Placement Office, An IEEE Student Branch, an IET Branch,

TEI of PiraeusDepartment of Electronics Eng. Established in 1948 in an early form – the ‘eldest’ among

TEI-Piraeus departments.

Undergraduate curriculum is 4 years full-time (BSc level), while Graduate curricula are 2 years full-time (MSc level).

Enrollment of about 160 new students per year – total enrollment of about 1000 students.

Current academic staff of 25 tenured professors and about 25 adjunct professors.

Major fields of interest: Telecommunications, Computer Systems & Data Networks, Analogue and Digital Systems, Embedded Systems, Digital Signal Processing, Audio & Video Technology, Advanced Materials for Electronics Apps, Electromagnetism, Antennae & Propagation, etc.

Undergraduate curriculum of about 40 subjects (75% of them include mandatory laboratory hours).

Regularly updated to keep up with new science and technology facts (1998, 2003, 2008, …)

Undergraduate studies are interlaced with the electronics industry and services sector. The students are obliged to a six months placement for practical training before graduation.

Active role in two graduate courses:1. MSc in “Networking and Data Communication” (in

collaboration with Kingston University, London, UK,2. MSc in “ICT for Education”, in collaboration with

National & Kapodistrian University of Athens, Greece.

All academic staff members are active in building international relations through staff and student exchange and mobility programs, (ERASMUS, TEMPUS, LEONARDO, COST, etc.)

TEI of PiraeusDepartment of Electronics Eng.Quality in Education

As of 2008, full observation of national and european education quality assurance procedures set by:ENQA (European Association for Quality Assurance in Higher Education)HQAA (Hellenic Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education)

The Diploma Supplement is issued in greek and in english, for all our graduates.

Undergraduate and graduate curricula have been restructured according to the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) to support student mobility.

TEI of PiraeusDepartment of Electronics Eng.Research Policy aiming towards

Major and “classic” areas of electronics (electronic devices and systems, measurements and E/M radiation, industrial electronics, telecommunications and computer networks: mobile / satellite / wireless / optical, audio and video processing and broadcasting systems, multimedia networking),

Emerging areas of contemporary research interest, which constitute fields of cross-disciplinary cooperation, such as organic electronics, wearable electronics, multifunctional materials and electronics, electronics for the environment and for renewable energy sources, etc.,

The research topic of ICT for Education, which is a field of interest across disciplines.

TEI of PiraeusDepartment of Electronics Eng.Research FocusTechnology push

Research and Development activities mainly driven by the interests of academic staff members.Technology pull

Research and Development activities mainly upon requests from companies and organizations.

Research programsActive role in R&D projects on national and international level (FP7, COST, TEMPUS, LEONARDO, etc). Cooperation with EU Universities, Research Institutes and companies. Effort put in developing cooperation schemes with private sector production units and organizations for innovative products and services.
