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 or hardware and/or software implementations, addressing the problem raised; evaluate them in light of various parameters of the specifications.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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

Understand design requirements and concepts regarding smart agents and system-on-chip design. Master modeling techniques, methodologies and design tools to come up with feasible solutions. Keep updated regarding state of art technology, changes and evolution of today's electronic devices.  
 

UE Content: description and pedagogical relevance

Technology change is about distributed data collection and processing from multiple sensors, as in the IoT (Internet of Things), AAL (Ambient Assisted Living), Smart Cities or Green revolution. All is today possible thanks to the combination of distributed hardware/software computation, wireless technology, MEMS (Micro electro mechanical systems), and energy harvesting. This course focuses on studying all those enabling technologies starting from the system specification, model and requirement to the definition and implementation of SoC (System on Chip) architectures of Smart Agents.
