Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
  • Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on signals and systems, using their expertise and adaptability.
    • Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques related to the basics of electricity, electronics, automatic control, signal processing and analysis, telecommunications, hardware and software instrumentation, mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems, control methods, more specific applications related to signal processing, and control of biomedical and biological systems.
    • Analyse and model a problem by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.
    • Identify and discuss possible applications of new and emerging technologies in the field of electrical engineering.
    • Assess the validity of models and results in view of the state of science and characteristics of the problem.
  • Communicate and exchange information in a structured way - orally, graphically and in writing, in French and in one or more other languages - scientifically, culturally, technically and interpersonally, by adapting to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.

Learning Outcomes of UE

AA Industrial and medical instrumentation: understand electrical and optical metrology in industrial applications.
AA Biomedical Sensors: identify the basic principles involved in sensors instrumentation, understand the mechanisms of different sensors and get introduced to the regulation and ethical use concepts. 
AA Interconnection of sensor devices: understand the way connected devices are working together, identify the different components of a network (applications, protocoles, architectures, transmission systems) allowing to interconnect smart devices, understand the role and operation of each element and evaluate their advantages and limitations, identify the challenges for engineer in this field.

Content of UE

AA Industrial and medical instrumentation: Introduction; Errors in measurements; Electric signal processing; Optical signal processing; Sensors (electrical and optical including temperature sensors, mechanical sensors, chemical and gas sensors, radiation sensors); Statistics for Experimenters.
