CESI - École d'Ingénieurs

Diploma in Digital Science Engineer Majoring in Embedded systems and IoT, 5-year course

Nowadays, many of the objects around us contain electronics and software that operate autonomously: automobiles, telephones, household appliances, etc. These "embedded systems" must be miniaturized, energy-efficient, and connected to exchange data. This major for the IoT (Internet of Things) focuses on the study and design of computer systems integrated into connected devices and smart objects. These systems are designed to collect, process, and exchange data with other devices, thus enabling advanced connectivity and automation in various fields such as home automation, connected health, smart cities, Industry 4.0, etc. To develop them, the engineer must have advanced scientific knowledge in electronics and computer science with a culture of sobriety for sustainable and eco-responsible products.

Presentation

• Possible options - In the final year, students can choose two options from, for example: Data Scientist & Big Data, 3D Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Research, Project Portfolio Management, Business Unit Manager, Innovation, Entrepreneurship. The list of options offered varies depending on the campus.
• The candidate's profile: Open-mindedness, Ability to make suggestions / Ability to analyze and synthesize, Teamwork, Technical curiosity
• Where does he practice? He operates in all sectors of industry involving these technologies: automotive, rail, space, energy, defense, telecoms, health, etc. He can be a service provider in a service company, or be employed in companies of all sizes, from SMEs to large groups.
• Diploma: Engineer graduated from CESI specializing in IT
• Company missions:
• Preparatory cycle: Local program development / Design of simple electronic circuits based on microprocessors / Testing of network equipment / Resolution of hardware or software operating problems
• Engineering course: Design of mobile applications, secure networks / Embedded hardware and software development / Development and testing of communication protocols, encryption algorithms / Optimization of consumption of embedded hardware
  • Preparatory cycle: Local program development / Design of simple electronic circuits based on microprocessors / Testing of network equipment / Resolution of hardware or software operating problems
  • Engineering course: Design of mobile applications, secure networks / Embedded hardware and software development / Development and testing of communication protocols, encryption algorithms / Optimization of consumption of embedded hardware
• What he will be able to do in business: In the preparatory cycle, the student will carry out the missions traditionally assigned to a senior technician: development of simple algorithms, design and development of electronic assemblies, embedded or non-embedded computer programs, carrying out functional validation tests, etc.
  In the engineering course, the student evolves to move from the role of technician to that of engineer:
• Confirmed technician at the end of the 1st year: he masters the technical aspects of his missions and knows how to apply them independently
• Assistant engineer at the end of the 2nd year: he can deal with problems requiring new solutions, and supervise teams in the field
• Junior engineer at the end of the cycle: he is autonomous to deal with entire subjects, integrating the technical, economic, organizational and human dimensions.

• The evaluation system: Assessed through continuous assessment, the educational program is structured into different Teaching Units. Each unit corresponds to a certain number of ECTS credits. One year is equivalent to 60 credits. Students must have validated all their teaching units and obtained their ECTS credits to move on to the next year. The conditions for obtaining the diploma are:
  - Validate all the Teaching Units, therefore having acquired 300 credits over the five years of the training
  - Obtain a B2 level certification in English
  - Carry out a mobility abroad lasting 20 weeks
