Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
- Mobilise a structured set of scientific knowledge and skills and specialised techniques in order to carry out electrical engineering missions, with a focus on Multimedia and Telecommunications, 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, advanced electronics and advanced microelectronics, computer science, wired and wireless telecommunications, signal processing, and human-machine interfaces.
- 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.
Learning Outcomes of UE
The first objective is to provide additional material to the Optical Communication courses in the domains of optical modulation, optical amplification and channel multiplexing. The second objective is to study and compare direct-detection and coherent communication systems.
