This cluster acquaints students with the concepts of electromagnetic fields and waves. It serves as a foundation they require before delving into discussions on designing electronic circuits at high frequencies, such as microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz frequencies. Students also learn about integrated circuits, their design, considerations at high frequencies, and various types of filters utilized in these circuits.

The aim of this cluster is to familiarize oneself with the design of microprocessor systems and to acquire a foundational understanding of computer architecture, digital electronics, and embedded systems, alongside gaining knowledge of the principles of data science and algorithms.

Cluster of Telecommunications Systems:
The courses within this cluster, which align with the subjects of digital communications and fundamentals of wireless communications, aim to provide a deeper understanding of the basic theories of telecommunications. The course on stochastic processes, which forms the foundation for many advanced telecommunications courses in graduate studies, continues the discussions of statistical and probability engineering, including information theory and coding theory, among the crucial courses encompassing the fundamentals of digital communications. All of these courses are recommended for those seeking a deeper insight into information theory and the physical layer of communication systems. Since the information theory course provides a new tool for analyzing systems and determining their performance limits, many capable students opt to take it during their undergraduate studies.

Cluster of Signal Processing and Radar:
The courses within this cluster are intended to follow the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) curriculum, aiming for a deeper understanding among students of certain practical topics in signal processing such as computer vision, image processing, as well as radar systems, alongside familiarity with signal processors. Some of these courses, like the fundamentals of radar systems, serve as prerequisites for more advanced studies in this domain. Additionally, they hold significant practical importance as radars are widely employed today in various commercial and military sectors. It is worth mentioning that signal processing finds applicability in diverse fields such as telecommunications systems, biomedical engineering systems, power systems, and so forth, providing students with opportunities to pursue additional courses in these areas.

Cluster of Network and Security:
Given the increasing expansion of telecommunication networks and the associated security issues, in addition to the two courses (Computer Networks and Fundamentals of Cryptography and Network Security) included in the Telecommunication Systems and Networks branch courses, three additional courses are proposed in this cluster, which can provide a very good understanding of the systems existing in the telecommunication network infrastructure and core. Furthermore, the Game Theory course can enhance students' analytical abilities in issues related to networks that involve some form of competition between different units (among network users, among service providers, among access points, etc.), although game theory is not limited to network-related topics. The Blockchain Technology course also addresses the introduction of one of the emerging technologies that has developed over telecommunication networks and forms the basis for many future technologies (such as cryptocurrencies). Given the breadth of this course in various areas of blockchain technology, it can prepare students for entry into the job market in related fields.

Cluster of Optical and Quantum Communications:
Optical communications is among the technologies widely used in network infrastructure today, and it is anticipated to receive even more attention in the future, expanding into other telecommunication domains such as wireless communications or underwater communications. On the other hand, quantum communications are considered futuristic technologies, and with the advancement of quantum technologies (such as quantum computers), quantum communication systems will also hold a special place in future technologies. The courses within this cluster aim to provide introductory knowledge in these fields. It is worth mentioning that since, in the domains of optical and quantum communications, besides systemic aspects, physical and propagation aspects are also important, some courses in this cluster are related to the branches of microwave and photonics.

Cluster of Biomedical Tools:
The cluster of biomedical tools encompasses areas within the realms of education, deployment, and implementation of infrastructures based on biomedical engineering, including electronic devices, sensors, precision measurement instruments, biotic robots, brain-computer interfaces, and prosthetics.

Bioelectronics Cluster:
Considering the increasing breadth of biological sciences in various matters and related technologies today, the aim of the bioelectronics cluster is to familiarize students as much as possible with the assimilation and application of electronic sciences in this field. It also aims to acquaint them with the principles of advanced technologies in this interdisciplinary domain.

Cluster of Biological and Molecular Sciences:
In recent years, with the utilization of advanced, rapid, and cost-effective methods for extracting DNA information, access to genomic information of humans and other animal and plant species on a large scale has been facilitated. Given that this information, particularly in medical applications such as diagnosis and treatment of diseases like various cancers, Alzheimer's, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, plays a crucial role, this field has gained special importance as an interdisciplinary domain of engineering and medicine. In this regard, employing novel biosensor and computational algorithms can lead to significant advancements in medicine and treatment, ultimately enabling the realization of optimal diagnosis and treatment methods under the umbrella term Precision Medicine at a societal level. Along the same lines, utilizing appropriate models for molecular communication between cells can be leveraged to impact living organisms at the right time and place. This field, also known as molecular-biological communication, will pave the way for innovative diagnostic and treatment methods in the near future, including targeted drug delivery within the body through designed nano-networks.

Robotics Cluster:
The aim of this cluster is to familiarize students with fundamental concepts of robotics science, including mechanics, dynamics, robot control, along with artificial intelligence and machine vision. Another objective of this cluster is to introduce students to the wide-ranging applications of robotics in technology and industry.

Cluster of Optical and Quantum Communications:
Optical communications is among the technologies extensively employed in network infrastructures today, with expectations for even greater prominence in the future, extending into other realms of telecommunications such as wireless communications or underwater communications. On the other hand, quantum communications is regarded as a technology of the future, and with the advancement of quantum technologies (such as quantum computers), quantum communication systems will also hold a distinctive position in future technologies. The courses within this cluster aim to provide introductory familiarity with these domains. It's worth noting that, given the significance of systemic aspects alongside the physical and propagational aspects in the fields of optical and quantum communications, some courses within this cluster are related to branches of telecommunications systems and networks.
