Objectives of general skills

• Imagine, design, develop, and implement conceptual models and computer solutions to address complex problems including decision-making, optimisation, management and production as part of a business innovation approach by integrating changing needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• On the basis of modelling, design a system or a strategy addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out computer and management engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Analyse and model an innovative IT solution or a business strategy by critically selecting theories and methodological approaches (modelling, optimisation, algorithms, calculations), and taking into account multidisciplinary aspects.

UE's Learning outcomes

Assess any hardware solution taking into account its technical performances.
The course intends to develop a critical analysis of computers systems as well as to put into light the interaction constraints between their different components.
Under a "design" point of view, it brings a technological assessment permitting to elaborate the functional architecture of a computer system oriented towards a given application.
Analyze a specification of an automated system or to take part in its drafting under the functional and partially operational points of view;
Guide its implementation phase on PLCs (programmable logic controller).
