Introduction

Nowadays, a large number of objects around us contain electronics and software that work independently: cars, telephones, household appliances... These ‘embedded systems’ must be miniaturized, energy-efficient, and connected in order to exchange data. This major for IoT (Internet of Things) focuses on the study and design of computer systems that are integrated into connected devices and smart objects. These systems are designed to collect, process, and exchange data with other devices, enabling advanced connectivity and automation in various fields such as home automation, eHealth, smart cities, Industry 4.0, and more. To develop said systems, engineers must have advanced scientific knowledge in electronics and IT, with a cost-efficiency culture to produce sustainable and eco-responsible products.

Possible Options

In the final year, students can choose two options among the following: 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 depends on the campus.

Five years to pave the way for your career as an engineer. In the undergraduate program, you start with one year that is common to all four CESI fields, and then you gradually progress towards choosing your major in year 3. You’ll be able to provide innovative solutions to the problems encountered. To achieve a specialization and stand out, choose an option in year 5. Accredited by the Commission of Engineering Certifications (CTI), this Program benefits from international recognition.

In-Company Missions

Undergraduate studies: On-site program development / Design of simple electronic circuits based on microprocessors / Testing network equipment / Solving hardware or software operating problems.

Master of Engineering: Design of mobile applications, secure networks / Embedded hardware and software development / Developing and testing communication protocols and encryption algorithms / Energy consumption optimization of embedded hardware.

What will students be able to do in a Company?

In the undergraduate program, students will carry out missions typically entrusted to an expert technical engineer: developing simple algorithms, designing and developing electronic assemblies, and computer programs, either embedded or not, and carrying out functional validation tests...

In the Master of Engineering program, students evolve from technicians to engineers:

  • Qualified technicians at the end of the 1st year: they master the technical aspects of their missions and know how to apply them independently.
  • Assistant engineers at the end of the 2nd year: they are able to handle problems requiring new solutions, and supervise teams in the field.
  • Junior engineers at the end of the study program: they are autonomous to handle entire subjects by integrating technical, economic, organizational, and human dimensions.

The Assessment System

In both the undergraduate program and the Master of Engineering program, the assessment system is based on continuous monitoring. Subjects are divided into different Learning Units; Each unit corresponds to a given number of ECTS credits. One year corresponds to 60 credits. Students must have passed all their learning units and obtained their ECTS credits to progress to the next academic year.

The conditions for being awarded a degree are as follows:

  • Passing all Learning Units, therefore having obtained 300 credits over the five years of training
  • Obtaining a B2 level certification in English
  • Doing a 20-week mobility abroad

CESI’s Master of Engineering program is a study program involving a 2-undergraduate program followed by a 3-year study program on campus, which leads to an engineering degree (level 7 - Master).

Choosing CESI’s International Programs

As an international, French-speaking, and English-speaking student, you have the opportunity to study different CESI programs in France, depending on your education level, ranging from undergraduate degrees to post-graduate degrees, or equivalent degrees obtained abroad:

  • ‘Grande École’ Program (Master’s Degree)
  • Master’s Degree in Engineering
  • Master’s Degree in Computer Science
  • Executive Post-Graduate Programs®

Some of our programs offer a so-called preparatory year, enabling you to improve your academic or language skills and, thus, making it easier for you to continue your studies: Engineering Degree Pathway.

Because welcoming you is one of CESI’s commitments, our teams will support you in preparing for your arrival and taking care of all administrative procedures, whatever program you choose.

The international aspect is at the heart of our strategic and educational plan. What’s the goal? To offer you a truly multicultural experience, an opportunity to broaden your horizons, and a window to the job market in France and abroad. All CESI training programs meet European and international standards, particularly by splitting the academic year into semesters or delivering ECTS credits. Moreover, CESI holds the ERASMUS+ charter and works with many international players such as Campus France or the CDIO Initiative.
