Bachelor's Degree in Embedded Systems

The pedagogical objective of this specialization is to train technicians and assistant engineers specialized in the fields of programming and integration of embedded systems.

This training covers not only software aspects such as programming languages, applications, and methodologies, but also hardware aspects including component selection, tools, systemic approach, and energy autonomy.

General Objective

The proposed specialization aims to train intermediate-level executives (Level II) who assimilate the techniques of developing and testing embedded software on bare metal and real-time operating systems, introducing critical safety techniques that lead to achieving at « a minimum » while maintaining application robustness.

These techniques are characteristic of embedded hardware/software applications in vehicles and applications subject to certification (avionics, railway, automotive, elevators...).

It will also cover techniques for interconnecting systems through industrial networks, which, consequently, require knowledge of various hardware components for interconnection and information routing through these networks, as well as the underlying operating systems.

The concepts and techniques involved must also be assimilated with the necessary rigor to meet the requirements of industrial applications.

Specific Objectives

  • Development of microcontroller programming skills
  • Development of skills in electronic circuit design
  • Initiation to embedded systems testing techniques (Hard/Soft)
  • Development of language skills to open up to an international environment
  • Development of personal skills to successfully manage projects through dedicated training (time management, stress management, and project management)
  • Easy integration into the professional environment and the ability to accept and manage change through dedicated training (change management, teamwork, corporate culture...)
  • Improvement of the quality of the work environment through dedicated training (emotional management, motivation, and teamwork).
  • Preparation for the professional life strengthened by the application of cutting-edge work methodologies currently used in the industrial environment, such as agility and Scrum methodologies, Lean manufacturing, Git, and Gerrit, which significantly improve the employer's performance and the company's profitability, respectively.

Learning Outcomes

During the university curriculum, the student will be coached by university professors and experts in the industrial field for :

Knowledge (knowing) :

  • Acquisition of in-depth knowledge on the architectural aspect of embedded systems/solutions
  • Development of programming skills in C and assembly language for microcontrollers
  • Development of skills in electronic circuit design
  • Initiation to embedded systems testing techniques (Hard/Soft)
  • Monitoring of cutting-edge technology and its application to embedded systems (IoT, Robotics...)

Skills (know-how) :

  • Development of language skills to open up to an international environment, negotiate and persuade, and speak with confidence and fluency in public (through various soft skills, corporate culture, and French and English language training).
  • Knowing how to define project dependencies and assess potential risks with preventive and corrective actions (through project management courses)
  • Knowing how to prepare a presentation, control one's non-verbal, oral, and written communication, and develop one's synthesis and analytical skills through dedicated courses in professional communication techniques.
  • Easy integration into the professional environment and the ability to accept and manage change through dedicated training (change management, teamwork, corporate culture)
  • Being able to provide innovative ideas, ideas for new creative projects through continuous monitoring of the market, its evolution, technological advancements, active customer listening...
  • Training on the application of cutting-edge work methodologies currently applied in the industrial environment such as agility and Scrum methodologies, Lean manufacturing... which significantly improve the employer's and company's performance and profitability, respectively.

Attitudes (soft skills) :

  • Being positive, radiating positivity, and not spreading stress are skills that will develop through personal development, emotional management, and motivation training.
  • Active participation in improving the quality of the work environment through dedicated training aimed at teamwork.

International Perspectives

  • The possibility to carry out internships abroad within the framework of partnerships signed between ESAT and international universities. We have already had mobility (internship from February to June 2018) with the University of Girona (UdG) in Spain for one of our students in Applied Automotive Mechanics (the program was already accredited before the unified program). Thanks to the ESAT-UdG agreement, this student, Amir Ben Aissa, obtained a scholarship for a Master's degree (MMS Mechanics of Materials and Structures) and recently received his Master's degree from this university in July 2019.
  • The possibility of receiving Erasmus mobility scholarships during the university curriculum, as well as for carrying out the final internship (mobility in semester 6) at partner universities with signed Erasmus agreements. ESAT has already had Erasmus scholarships for students since February 2017. ESAT received confirmation for Erasmus scholarships (Academic Year 2019-2020) after accepted Erasmus projects.
  • The possibility of obtaining a Master's degree with a scholarship from our international partners.

Admission Requirements

To be admitted to the preparatory program, you must hold the minimum required diploma for the level of education you are aiming for.
