Presentation of the Embedded Systems Major
An embedded system is a system combining electronics and computing embedded in an environment with strong constraints (low power consumption, reduced memory capacity, real time, security, robustness). Embedded systems are ubiquitous and play a very important role in our daily lives: smartphone, satellite, bank card, car, TGV, plane, camera, drone, GPS, multimedia console…
In a highly competitive global context, embedded systems represent a major differentiating factor for a very large number of sectors: energy, transport, defense, aeronautics, health, multimedia, telecoms, smart cards, production, logistics and consumer electronics.
The skills and expertise required for embedded systems are numerous, varied and not widespread. The assimilation of system security concepts (robustness, integrity, confidentiality) as well as software and hardware virtualization allowing critical and non-critical applications to cohabit on the same chip are real differentiating assets that are highly sought after by companies.
The courses in the Embedded Systems, Aeronautics and Robotics major contribute fully to boosting innovation in the fields of intelligent transportation, personal assistance, sustainable mobility, home hospitalization, and consumption control.
