Projects are at the heart of the Industrial & Engineering curriculum. Throughout the program, you will work on real cases drawn from industrial and digital realities.

In the Major in Embedded Systems, projects focus on the design of embedded architectures, real-time software development, and the integration of complex systems.

These projects are conducted in teams, under conditions similar to those encountered in companies. A system integration workshop at the end of the program validates all the skills acquired.

Yes. The Major in Embedded Systems is available full-time and as a work-study on the Paris campus. This format allows you to alternate training periods and immersion in the company, to build solid professional experience while completing your engineering diploma from ECE.

The work-study program is particularly well-suited to this specialty. The tasks assigned to apprentices focus on areas that are highly sought after by industrial companies:

• Development and testing of embedded software.
• Integration and validation of system architectures.
• Management of electronic systems production projects.
• Participation in embedded mechanics and robotics projects.
• Contribution to quality and system performance programs.

Most apprentices receive a job offer at the end of their contract. The network of 10,000 partner companies of ECE facilitates the search for a host company.

The Industry & Engineering program covers a wide range of sciences and technical disciplines.

In Embedded Systems, courses focus on electronics, real-time computing, industrial network science, and embedded system mechanics. The technical requirements are high, with a constant progression.

At the end of the training, your ECE engineering degree positions you for high-value jobs in very diverse sectors. The Embedded Systems major leads to positions as systems expert, embedded software architect, or integration and validation specialist.

The specialty prepares you to work in demanding international environments: defense, aerospace, automotive, health, digital supply chain, deeptech startups, and large digital enterprises.

Yes. The teachings of both majors are delivered in French and English, directly preparing students to thrive in international professional environments. Embedded systems and digital product management are global specialties: the standards, tools, and practices you master apply everywhere.

ECE relies on a network of 142 partner universities across 4 continents. International double degrees allow you to enhance your studies abroad and develop a global vision of industrial and digital engineering. These opportunities strengthen your profile in the international job market and facilitate access to major technology companies worldwide.

Students who thrive in the Industry & Engineering track have a strong interest in science, technology, and solving complex problems. An aptitude for programming, electronics, and systems mechanics is crucial for success in the Embedded Systems Major.

The ability to work in a team, manage projects under constraints, and maintain a high level of quality in deliverables is essential. These qualities are gradually acquired throughout the program, thanks to concrete projects and courses taught by active professionals.

The Industry & Engineering program is accessible in the 4th year of the ECE Engineering Cycle. Admissions for initial training are made through the Avenir competition. Applications for the alternating system for the Embedded Systems Major are submitted directly on the ECE platform, outside of Parcoursup.

Your application is evaluated based on several criteria:

• Your academic background and your level in sciences.
• Your professional project in the fields of industry or digital.
• Your motivation for the chosen specialty.
• Your ability to envision yourself in a demanding technical environment.

The school studies each profile individually. A motivational interview complements the evaluation of the application before any admission decision.

The engineering degree from ECE recognized by the CTI is a Bac+5 level title. It grants you the right to pursue a doctorate, a research program, or a specialized master in partner schools and universities in France and internationally. There are pathways to advanced training in embedded artificial intelligence, innovation management, or industrial quality management.

ECE also offers complementary MSc programs related to this field, notably the MSc in Artificial Intelligence, to deepen the applications of AI in embedded systems and product architectures. These further studies accelerate access to leadership positions in major global technology industry schools.

Yes. The Embedded Systems Major includes teachings directly related to industrial production: industrial local networks, development of electronic systems, and visits to partner industries. These courses prepare you to work in complex production environments, where performance, reliability, and quality of embedded systems are non-negotiable requirements.
