Location of Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC)
The SESI specialization trains specialists in the hardware and software design of omnipresent embedded systems, controlling all types of equipment (automobile, telecommunications, games, household electrical goods, etc.). This specialization requires skills in both electronics and computer science. It is the result of combining the ACSI specialization (Architecture and Design of Integrated Systems) of the Computer Science course and the ACSI specialization of the Science of the Engineer course of the Pierre & Marie Curie University.
Considering the extremely fast evolution of the design tools and methods, research in this field is of a very applied nature since there is only a short time between innovation and transfer to industry. The industrial and research study programs are therefore only differentiated by the choice of the type of internship (laboratory or company) which is undertaken at the start of the M2 year.
In the SESIU specialization, different programs around embedded systems are tackled: the combined hardware and software design of chip integrated systems, the development of methods and algorithms of specification, modeling, design, checking and testing of integrated circuits and systems and the design, modeling and prototyping of integrated applications ranging from sensors to software applications.
The research laboratories associated with the specialization are, in particular, the LIP6 - ALSOC, CIAN and SYEL (UPMC) teams and the LTCI (Telecom ParisTech).
The SESI specialization proposes two skills profiles on completion of the course easily identified on the jobs' market, system skills (design of high-level systems, multi-processors, combined hardware/software design, embedded operating systems) and circuit skills (design of circuits and integrated systems, CAD, electronic systems, digital and analog architectures). These two profiles will be mainly identified in the second year of the Master's by choosing courses which are more system orientated or more circuit orientated.
For the internship, students are asked to choose at the start of the M2 year if they are aiming to begin their career at the Master's degree level which implies an industrial placement or if they are aiming to begin their professional careers at the doctorate level which involves a research internship in one of the laboratories associated with the SEI specialization or in an academic laboratory.
Opportunities
* Industrial sector: Engineer, IC Designer, Hardware engineer, architect, Systems Engineer, Embedded software Engineer. Then technical consultant or project manager.
* Research sector: researcher or R&D engineer, university lecturer-researcher, researcher for CNRS, INRIA, CEA etc.
Contents
All the first year papers are worth 6 ECTS, including a substantial team project. The second year papers are all worth 3 ECTS, except for the end of year internship, which is worth 18 ECTS. The internship takes place either in a laboratory or in a company, and lasts a minimum of five months.
All the major´s specializations have both a research and a professional orientation. At the beginning of the course, students choose the specialization that will define the set of fundamental and technological knowledge that they wish to learn. There are set programs defined within each specialization to help students make their choice according to their personal and professional objectives.
The Computer Science major has been organized to promote double majors with mathematics, electronics and acoustics.
Specializations offered in M2:
* Electronic systems, computer systems (ex ACSI)
The specialization trains specialists in the design of circuits and integrated electronic systems, which are at the heart of most industrial equipment (automobile, telecommunications, gaming, whiteware, etc...).
* Artificial intelligence and decision (in French, IAD)
The IAD specialization trains information technology specialists who master the concepts, models and tools of artificial intelligence, decision support systems and operations research.
* Imaging (IMA)
The imaging specialization gives students advanced training in fields linked with imaging. It includes coherent programs ranging from the foundations of the discipline to the most advanced techniques.
* Networks
The networks specialization trains researchers in fields such as network design and telecommunications systems, transmission of media streams and the internet of the future. It also qualifies "generalist" network engineers, telecommunications systems developers and network and systems administrators.
* Distributed systems and applications (in French, SAR)
The SAR specialization trains specialists in design and development of distributed systems, capable of understanding and implementing the methods, techniques and mechanisms of the discipline.
* Science and technology of software (in French, STL)
The STL specialization trains specialists in development and monitoring of software applications, with a solid foundation in programming languages and algorithmic techniques.
* Bioinformatics and modeling
Requirements
With a bachelor's degree in computer science or electronics or holding an equivalent diploma.
At the M2 level, a possibility of accepting engineers wishing to specialize. Possibility also of accepting final year engineering students as part of the agreements made between UPMC and other higher education establishments.
