Some Main Activities and Priorities in Training
and Research

• II. Applied Electronics Department - Microsystems
  and Intelligent Sensors -
• The major thrust of todays research effort is to
  make sensors smaller and smarter than they are
  now. To define more carefully the different types
  of intelligent sensors, it is necessary to
  subdivide the processor (converter) and the main
  processing unit. There are three levels of
  integration which define sensors systems
• an ordinary sensor system which contains
  separated parts (sensor, signal preprocessor and
  processing unit)
• integrated sensors in one sensor system which
  contains an intelligent sensor and the processing
  unit
• a smart sensor or integrated intelligent sensor
  on a single chip.

25
Some Main Activities and Priorities in Training
and Research

• III. Applied Electronics Department -
  Communications-
• The main training activities in Communications
  direction are

The integration and the importance of the
Electrical Engineering Faculty

• The students who have decided to study an area of
  the Electrical Engineering find that the
  Electrical Engineering Faculty from Valahia
  University Targoviste is able to offer a
  favorable and stimulating framework that help
  them to fulfill their highest potential. In
  parallel with the studies they have a unique
  opportunity to observe the exciting struggles
  involved in economic and social reform and
  democratization. At the same time, they may even
  be able to contribute in small but valuable ways
  to these changes.
• The range of academic opportunities offered by
  the Faculty is very large. Although much work has
  been, and is being done to modernize courses,
  most of the programs retain a solid foundation in
  the theory relevant to each electrical
  engineering discipline.
• The young training staff is involved in specific
  research programs under the guidance of the
  senior academic staff renowned for their
  specialist knowledge and dedication to continuous
  improvement in teaching methods. The lecturers
  and the researchers could find excellent partners
  for joint educational or research co-operation.
• The Electrical Engineering Faculty is involved in
  many cooperative activities and strongly
  encourage new initiatives. In addition, many
  international contacts are established with
  various universities and research institutes from
  all over the world.
