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).
    • 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.
    • Evaluate the approach and results for their adaptation (tests, measurements, optimisation and quality).
  • 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.
    • 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.
    • Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
    • Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.
  • 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).
    • Implement a chosen system/solution/software/circuit in the form of a schema, a flowchart, an algorithm, a prototype, a programme and/or digital model.
  • 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.
    • 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.
    • Argue to and persuade collaborators, clients, teachers and boards, both orally and in writing.
    • Use and produce high-quality scientific and technical papers (reports, plans, specifications, etc.), adapted particularly to the intended purpose and the relevant public.
    • Master technical English in the field of electrical engineering.

Learning Outcomes of UE

This course aims to propose realistic case of study of telecommunications systems and networks by the way of (1) Integrated projects around one or several case(s) study that can be different each year (2) Technical seminars given by engineers coming from the industry and belonging to different fields (3) On site visit(s) with the students. The balance between the three activities can change from year to year.

Content of UE

(1) Definition of a case of study followed by individual work or by work in group (2) Technical seminars (e.g. from 2G to 5G, network security, xDSL evolution, communications for smart grids, higher bit rate advanced communications, innovation process...) (3)On site visit(s) (e.g. past visits: Nokia GEN Y days, Televic, Telenet, VOO, ...)
