The Laboratory of Electronics and computer Engineering largely contributes to the various education activities of ENSTA, particularly in the engineering curriculum. Common core courses in Electronics and Signal brings students the basics in these disciplines, allowing them to be successful in the various electives. However the common core also has the major goal to ensure for students who will specialize in other fields, a sufficient cultural background to enable them in the future to manage projects outside their direct expertise with good performance.
The laboratory also contributes to various courses involving computer or information science.
In first year, on SIGNAL PROCESSING (ES101) allows all students to acquire a background of basic knowledge on digital filtering and applications.
The 3rd first year course addresses the basic concepts of DIGITAL AND VLSI DESIGN (ES 102), and their practical implementation towards contemporary digital systems.
An INTRODUCTION TO MATLAB (IN 103) aims at allowing students to program efficiently in a current language, which will often be used for various courses and projects throughout the curriculum. A more advanced PROGRAMMING PROJECT (IN104) completes the basic courses in software engineering (IN 101, IN102) through an initiation to the design and implementation of programs.
Finally the common core education in electronics, signal and computer engineering finds a conclusion in second year by a course on OPERATING SYSTEMS (ES201), and by another one on INFORMATION AND CODING (ES 204).
In first year, electives open a wide window allowing students to extend their cultural scientific background. This includes the elective Artificial Intelligence.
Several courses in the areas of electronics, signal, telecommunications and computer science/engineering are organised within the two variants of the major SIGNAL, INFORMATION AND SYSTEMS. The variant SIS/TIC is mostly concerned with the information and communication systems, while the variant SIS/Emb is rather concerned with digital systems coupled to the physical world. Finally the variant SIS/Mécatronique establishes a link between the field of information technologies and the field of mechanical systems (mechatronics)
2RD YEAR SCIENTIFIC ELECTIVES |
In second year, more specialized electives help prepare the main choices of the 3rd year curriculum :
und. This includes the electives :
3RD YEAR ADVANCED ELECTIVES |
In third year, all courses are elective. The laboratory coordinates and contributes to a large number of them :
These electives are proposed in the 3rd year programs Multimedia and Communications and Robotics and embedded systems. Courses specifically addressing computer systems are also proposed in the program on Information Systems.
Other courses can be found here.
ENSTA offers students the possibility to achieve a research master's degree in collaboration with French Universities, possibly followed by a PhD degree within the laboratory. This includes in particular the master Information, Systems and technology in research or engineering of University paris XI (Orsay), for which 2 specializations are organized jointly with ENSTA. This master is related to the PhD school Science and Technologies of Information, Telecommunications and Systems. The master in computer science and engineering, particularly the speciality "Artificial intelligence and decision" and the speciality "Imaging" of University Paris 6 is also proposed. PhD students are trained through these doctoral schools, as well as through "Ecole Doctorale de l'Ecole Polytechnique".
