Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

  • Imagine, implement and operate systems/solutions/software to deal with a complex problem in the field of electricity by integrating needs, contexts and issues (technical, economic, societal, ethical and environmental).
    • Implement a chosen system/solution/software/circuit in the form of a diagram, flow chart, algorithm, plan, model, prototype, program, 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 mobilise knowledge, models, methods and techniques relating to the basics of electricity, electronics, automation, signal analysis and processing, telecommunications; modern electrical network engineering (production, transport, distribution); electric vehicles; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image processing and processing; and the use of the Internet; advanced electronic systems; wired and wireless telecommunications; intelligent sensors; human-machine interfaces; mathematical modelling and analysis of dynamic systems; process control; image and sound processing and, more s
    • 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.
    • Select and use the written and oral communication methods and materials adapted 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.
    • Exploit the different means available in order to inform and train independently.

Learning Outcomes of UE

The goal is to understand wireless transmissions (antennas, antenna arrays, fading transmission channels, physical transmission layers and MAC), particularly at 'high speed' like wireless communications and cellular telephony, and to understand how connections are kept mobile.
