Bachelor in Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The electrical sciences are at the heart of today’s crucial issues. Mastering the development of information technologies and data transfer; guaranteeing reliable, responsible and sustainable energy supplies; innovating in the fields of micro- and nano-technology: These are just some of the challenges that today’s electrical and electronic engineers are called upon to meet.
Electricity is a vital part of our daily lives. It is a unique resource, endowed with twin properties: it is both energy and an information vector.
Electrical and electronic engineering is constantly at the crossroads between these two fields. Thanks to the extraordinary growth in micro- and nano-electronics, it has become possible to design increasingly complex electronic functions for common devices (telephones, computers, MP3 players, etc.), with nanometric components installed in increasingly smaller media (microchips). Other fields are also fully benefitting from these advances: biomedical technology, with sensors that are increasingly sensitive, and embedded systems, as well as space engineering.
Electrical engineers are actively involved with the development of all tools (images, sound, multimedia) that are used by new information and communication technologies. They therefore develop technologies in the field of acoustics (sound recording and broadcasting), wireless antenna or sensors, electromagnetic waves, signal processing (digitizing, compressing, security), optics, photonics, and also image analysis.
