Embedded systems are the beating heart of any modern device. Omnipresent, they revolutionize the uses and revisit the relationship we have with objects.

Embedded Systems Major

Mastering ubiquitous systems

Presentation of the Embedded Systems Engineering Major

An embedded system is a system combining electronics and computing embedded in an environment with strong constraints (low power consumption, reduced memory capacity, real time, security, robustness). Embedded systems are ubiquitous and play a very important role in our daily lives: smartphone, satellite, bank card, car, TGV, plane, camera, drone, GPS, multimedia console…

In a highly competitive global context, embedded systems represent a major differentiating factor for a very large number of sectors: energy, transport, defense, aeronautics, health, multimedia, telecoms, smart cards, production, logistics and consumer electronics.

The skills and expertise required for embedded systems are numerous, varied and not widespread. The assimilation of system security concepts (robustness, integrity, confidentiality) as well as software and hardware virtualization allowing critical and non-critical applications to cohabit on the same chip are real differentiating assets that are highly sought after by companies.

The courses in the Embedded Systems, Aeronautics and Robotics major contribute fully to boosting innovation in the fields of intelligent transportation, personal assistance, sustainable mobility, home hospitalization, and consumption control.

The objectives of the Embedded Systems Engineering Major

Master the technology of embedded systems in the field of hardware and software

Mastering software engineering and modeling of complex systems

Master the creation of architecture and energy management in a complex system

Identify risks to face cyber threats and master artificial intelligence algorithms applied to robotics and avionics technologies
