No prior courses are required.

Knowledge and handling of the basic concepts and techniques of telecommunication engineering, with its areas of specialization and professional career paths, the fundamentals of telecommunication technologies, the principles of: communication systems, networks, internet and cybersecurity, and sound and image processing, and the practical application of the technologies involved in telecommunication engineering. Therefore, the course aims for students to acquire the following general competences: - Knowledge and development of basic technical skills in the field of telecommunication engineering technologies with an emphasis on serving as an introduction to studies in the field of said engineering, providing a global vision of specializations and application areas and knowledge of basic principles of said technologies, as well as the ability to apply them to practical cases, choosing the appropriate technologies to solve problems in our society. As well as the following specific skills/competences: - Acquisition of the basic technical knowledge that will be used as a tool for solving practical telecommunication engineering problems within the different specializations. - Ability to make critical judgments about the use and possibilities of these technologies in society. - Design and execution of experiments, as well as analysis and interpretation of data and results. - Analysis and design of different elements of a telecommunication system, with the ability to solve problems, taking into account critical parameters based on the focus of their evaluation. - Ability to understand the implications of choosing these technologies and their appropriate use in commercial, industrial, health, education, sustainability, equality, and inclusion contexts. - Effective communication skills, both oral and written. - Ability to work in a team and present a topic in a reasoned manner.

- Telecommunication Engineering. - Layered model for communication systems, TCP/IP reference model (Internet). - Security and cybersecurity. - Communication systems. - Introduction to signal processing. - Practical contact with these technologies.

Different types of learning activities are proposed: - Lectures. - Solving exercises and problems. - Presentations. - Tutorials. - Autonomous study. - Laboratory practices. Lectures will be theory classes on the blackboard with the use of slides or other audiovisual media to illustrate certain concepts and transmit basic knowledge. Through these sessions, students will acquire the basic content of the course. The solving of exercises and problems will take place in classes that aim to complement the explanations of theoretical concepts with the completion of exercises. In these classes, students may have access to the corresponding problem statements in advance. The students' problem-solving aims to assimilate the concepts explained in theory classes in a more applied context and to self-assess their knowledge. Problem-solving classes will include the sharing of individual solutions and joint correction, which should serve to consolidate knowledge and develop the ability to analyze and communicate relevant information for problem-solving. Furthermore, sharing will encourage the exchange of critical opinions both between teaching staff and students, and among students themselves. Presentations will be made orally, in groups, to present to the rest of the students in class the work and projects carried out throughout the course. The objective is to enhance oral communication skills, along with a deeper understanding of the specific topic of the project, which will provide an approach to the practical application of the course. Tutorials, both individual and group, aim to clarify doubts or explain in detail concepts that have not been well understood by the students. This activity provides personalized attention to students. In addition to the generally established tutorial schedules, students may contact the teaching staff to arrange tutorials at specific times. Autonomous study is essential for the correct acquisition of knowledge. It is important to highlight that both lectures and the solving of exercises and problems will require initiative and personal and group work from the students (there will be concepts that they will have to study personally from some indications, particular cases that they will have to develop, etc.). Laboratory practices basically consist of demonstrations of elementary concepts in the laboratory and on computers, in which students actively participate in the practical implementation of telecommunication systems; the level of participation will increase from the first to the last practice (in which students will have a certain freedom to approach and solve the problem).
