Presentation

Digital technology is omnipresent in industry, society and everyday life. Companies need engineers capable of mastering a variety of technologies and understanding the global challenges of the digital sector (digital transformation, technological innovation, etc.). This program trains engineers to work on a wide range of digital issues, while developing technical, managerial and strategic skills.

To train versatile engineers capable of working on various aspects of digital technology (software development, networks, systems, cybersecurity, data science, etc.) and adapting to different industrial sectors.

Structure and Organization

  • Theoretical and practical courses, tutorials (TD) and practical work (TP).
  • Project-based learning: application development, embedded systems, innovation projects.
  • Internships every year to apply the knowledge acquired in real-life situations.

The fundamentals of general engineering. Fundamentals of engineering sciences with a strong component in mathematics, computer science, electronics, physics, and introduction to computer systems.

Firstly, deepening technical concepts, then gradually specializing with elective choices according to students' interests: cybersecurity, data science, software development, embedded systems, AI, etc.

Specialization with two options depending on students' interests:

  • Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence; ;
