On the 15th, we welcomed a visit from students of Dona Luísa de Gusmão Secondary School, Lisbon. The afternoon began with a brief presentation of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering by Daniela Leonardo, who introduced the faculty’s research areas, some of the active projects, and the available student groups.
Next, the students visited the Multimedia and Telecommunications and the Networks and Computers modules.
In the first module, Professor Custódio Peixeiro highlighted the most important milestones in the study of electromagnetic waves, including the contributions of scientists such as Maxwell, Marconi, Hertz, and Morse.
In the Networks and Computers module, Professor Paulo Pereira explained how communication protocols for the Internet of Things work, including two practical demonstrations.
The visit ended with a group photo at the entrance of the North Tower and an invitation for future visits to the DEEC.
