UE's Learning outcomes

At the end of this course, students will be able to: • Adopt an applied scientific approach - Innovate - Implement solutions - Plan and carry out projects in engineering - Work in and lead a team - Master scientific and technical communication - Be a critical, reflexive and independent professional • Design a practical application (for the fields of automation, robotics, human-computer interface, ...), a complete system (from the choice of components defining the hardware and software developed platform), or library components (operators or drivers), using existing off-the-shelf components (COTS, sensors/actuators, communication), programmable (microprocessors) and reconfigurable architectures (FPGA), operating systems (Linux and Android), while using varied communication mechanisms, advanced programming mechanisms and techniques, design tools and development platforms to produce an innovative implementation result. • Put into practice the acquired knowledge in the use of microprocessors and reconfigurable architectures, languages (C / C ++, Java, Python, VHDL), programming techniques (threads, interrupts, timers, counters), interfacing techniques and communications protocols (I2C, CAN, RS232, ZigBee, Bluetooth, WIFI, ..). • To practice development methodologies, validation and project management techniques. Aspects of management, tasks’ organization, state of the art analysis and integration of the various parts of sub-projects and projects (portfolio). (Organization of tasks, the study stresses and the creation of mechanisms of testing and validation). • Master the configuration and interfacing of existing component (communication, protocols, data exchange, datasheet and technical data understanding). • Assess the technical constraints and propose innovative solutions (communicate, justify, compare, demonstrate, validate, analysis of results). • Support a draft, present the results and demonstrate the contributions in oral form as well as on a technical report (state of the art, technical, specifications, methods, equipment to use, organization of tasks, and the creation tests of validation mechanisms and analysis of results,…).

Term 1 for Integrated Assessment - comments

"Classroom": • A personal work is proposed to each student according to an outline previously established. This work involves the preparation of a subject of study, among the list of the course content: writing a technical report (20 pages, 35%) and individual oral exposure (15 minutes, 15%) in front of the teacher and other students. 50%. “Laboratory": • Practical work in group (3-4 students). This work should include the proposal, the application project to develop based on the material provided, definition of objectives, project management including tasks and responsibilities, a study of the state of art, comprehensive description of the system to be developed, the methodology (design flow and validation/test plan), and results analysis. Evaluation based on a technical report (20 pages, source code and video, 30%), oral presentation (15 minutes, 15%) in front of the teacher and other students and demonstration of results (presentation and demonstrator - 5%). 50% The weighting is 50% for the " Classroom" and 50% for the " Laboratory"
