Electronics

Training Objectives

Electronics is present in all fields. The almost systematic digitization of information challenges traditional domains such as telephony and automation. The success of the internet, GSM, and communication networks is growing and requires significant infrastructure that will continue to develop in the future. Technological breakthroughs in the manufacturing of cells using standard silicon wafers are constantly improving. The efficiency level of these cells should ultimately offer a true alternative to fossil fuels.

Moreover, highly technological sectors such as aerospace, automotive, robotics, modern medicine, and space heavily rely on electronic products.

It is therefore crucial to invest in this sector to develop electronics through scientific research, equipment, and education. We believe that investing in human resources is by far the most fundamental and guarantees the entire process of societal development. It is in this context that this program is proposed.

This curriculum aims to be a common melting pot without premature specialization, gradually leading to various existing or future Master’s programs in electronics in the broadest sense.

This program, belonging to the field of Science and Technology, is based on fundamental subjects (mathematics, physics, chemistry, and computer science accounting for 40%: 72/180 credits) and subjects closely related to electronics, namely analog and digital electronics, control systems, power electronics, signal processing, etc. (87/180 credits, nearly 50%). Additionally, the pedagogy in this program is decidedly focused on practical experience. As such, a significant portion is dedicated to practical work sessions (25% of the total class hours): almost all specialized subjects are supported by practical work sessions. Furthermore, students are trained in teamwork to foster autonomy, a sense of responsibility, and an entrepreneurial spirit through a Professional Project and Business Management course, as well as a Final Cycle Project.

Target Profiles and Skills

This Electronics Bachelor’s program has an academic purpose. Its primary objectives are:

– To train students capable of pursuing studies in all existing types of Master’s programs in electronics, and potentially in doctoral programs in the future.

– To acquire a recognized degree by the socio-economic sector (regionally and nationally) and adapt to the current and future needs of our society.

Indeed, this program serves as a stepping stone to a wide range of careers in electronics (space exploration, automotive industry, radio, television, telephony, medicine, robotics, imaging, industrial computing, embedded systems, etc.). Thus, education in this field offers numerous professional opportunities in diverse industries.

Regional and National Employment Potential

Upon completion of this program, graduates not only have the opportunity to pursue higher education (Master’s, Ph.D.), but they are also qualified to work as versatile professionals in the field of electronics, meeting the needs of both the national and regional job markets:

Nationally:

– Electricity production and distribution companies.

– Telecommunications sector (telecom operators).

– SMEs in the electronics industry, etc.

Regionally:

– Industrial companies in the steel sector.

– Chemical engineering companies.

– SMEs in microcomputing and agri-food.

Pathway programs

Programs with common foundational courses (semester 3) have been grouped into three categories: A, B, and C. These groups roughly correspond to the fields of Electrical Engineering (Group A), Mechanical Engineering and Civil Engineering (Group B), and finally, Process Engineering and Mining Engineering (Group C).

This Bachelor’s program offers interdisciplinary and cross-cutting educational programs:

Interdisciplinary, in the sense that the courses in this specialization are 100% identical to those of all other specialties in the Science and Technology field for the first and second semesters. Furthermore, the courses in the third semester are also 100% identical for all specialties within the same group of programs.

In a cross-disciplinary manner, this Bachelor’s program offers students the opportunity to join, based on their desire and availability of educational spaces:

– All other specialties within the Science and Technology field after the second semester.

– All specialties within the same group of programs after the third semester.

– All specialties within a different group of programs after the third semester

– All specialties within the same group of programs after the fourth semester
