Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to address a complex problem in the field of electrical engineering as a source of information by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
• Based on modelling and experimentation, design one or more systems/solutions/software addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• Implement a chosen system/solution/software in the form of a drawing, a schema, a flowchart, an algorithm, a plan, a model, a prototype, software and/or digital model.
• Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, using their expertise and adaptability.
• Master and appropriately mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques specific to 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.
• Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
• Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
• Learn to use a laboratory notebook to record the results of experiments and thereby initiate a protective approach to intellectual results.
• Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
• Adopt a professional and responsible approach, showing an open and critical mind in an independent professional development process.
• Analyse their personal functioning and adapt their professional attitudes.
• Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.
• Contribute by researching the innovative solution of a problem in engineering sciences.
• Design and implement technical analysis, experimental studies and numerical modelling to address a given problem.
• Collect and analyse data rigorously.
• Adequately interpret results taking into account the reference framework within which the research was developed.
• Communicate, in writing and orally, on the approach and its results in highlighting both the scientific criteria of the research conducted and the theoretical and technical innovation potential, as well as possible non-technical issues.

Learning Outcomes of UE

At the end of this course, students will be able to: Understanding the structure and internal behavior of microprocessors. Develop a critical analysis of computer systems and identification of constraints, performance and interactions between their different components. Having a technological balance to globally develop a computer system facing a given application. Being able to optimize their use while applying the techniques presented. Master development tools and programming languages. Implementation of microprocessor-based solutions by selecting components, tools and peripherals targeting an specific application. At the end of this course, the student will have a thorough understanding of a processor, from the architectural and behavioral points of view, the architectural alternatives and main internal hardware components, the impact of the instruction set and addressing modes the performance of a computer, I/O and peripherals.

Content of UE

The study of the internal organization of computers: their internal structure, interactions between its various constituting components, the understanding of different microprocessor architectures, the implications of programming and interaction mechanisms. The practical work will make extensive use of programming techniques, interrupt mechanisms, and interaction with peripheral devices.
