Option Électronique et objets connectés - ESEO

Elective major - Electronics and connected objects

Campus : Angers
Prerequisites: Electronics and embedded software sector
Alternation available

Objective

The Electronics and Connected Objects option aims to train engineers capable of designing, developing, integrating and implementing energy-independent communicating electronic solutions, as well as understanding their interactions with the surrounding IT environment (networks, mobile applications).

Thanks to the large number of projects on offer, there is plenty of scope for creativity.

Skills

By the end of this option, students will have acquired skills in hardware development using microcontrollers and FPGAs, low-level embedded software development, radio frequencies and RFID.

They will also be able to choose and implement embedded communication protocols and understand the issues of energy autonomy, safety and mechanical integration.

Depending on their aspirations, they may choose to develop a small mobile application associated with their product, deepen their knowledge of embedded Linux or specialise in systems-on-a-chip and microelectronics.
