Overview
By enrolling in the Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computer Science (B.U.T. GEII), students benefit from a three-year integrated program leading to a bachelor’s degree. The degree is aligned with international standards and facilitates exchange programs with foreign universities.
With the GEII B.U.T. program, students continue to benefit from a university-level, technology-focused education led by experienced faculty. The curriculum continues to be structured around real-world professional scenarios and work experience in the form of internships or work-study programs.
Objectives
The GEII B.U.T. is a versatile degree program designed to train mid-level managers capable of installing and managing electrical systems; designing, building, programming, and maintaining fixed or embedded electronic circuits (for automotive, avionics, robotics, etc.); and automating and controlling industrial processes.
You will be able to manage and maintain industrial computer networks, and analyze and develop systems for processing and transmitting information.
Ultimately, you will work in fields such as the city and industry of the future, smart and connected networks, transportation and electromobility, aerospace, renewable energy, healthcare, audiovisual media, and space, among others...
Expertise and Skills
The BUT GEII program helps students develop four professional skills:
- Designing the electrical, electronic, and instrumentation (GEII) portion of a system: by adopting a holistic approach that integrates technological innovations aligned with the company’s strategy to meet a customer need; by producing all necessary documentation for the customer and various service providers; and by communicating effectively with the various stakeholders before and during the design phase.
- Verify the GEII component of a system: by taking into account specific hardware, regulatory, and contextual factors; by implementing a testing and evaluation plan aimed at qualitative analysis and corrective action; and by considering the company’s economic, environmental, and regulatory challenges.
- Ensure that a system remains in operational condition by: maintaining proactive communication with the various stakeholders; adopting a holistic approach that incorporates new technologies and digital transformation.
- Competency 4: Specific to each program
These four competencies in the GEII specialization include the following six cross-disciplinary competencies:
- digital literacy,
- data analysis,
- written and oral expression and communication,
- professional orientation,
- mastery of various information and communication technologies,
- taking responsibility within a professional organization.
International Dimension
Easier international mobility.
Organization
Knowledge Assessment
Assessment takes place on an ongoing basis and at the end of each semester ( 30 ECTS per semester). It serves to evaluate the level of mastery of the skills acquired. A total of 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be successfully completed to earn the B.U.T. in GEII.
Students who do not wish to continue into the third year of the B.U.T. in GEII and who have earned 120 ECTS credits (4 semesters) may apply for the University Technology Diploma (D.U.T.) in GEII (bac + 2).

They are your primary points of contact for providing information, assessing your situation, recommending appropriate accommodations, and monitoring their implementation. (More info here).
Internships, supervised projects
Internship | Required |
|---|---|
Duration of the internship | A minimum of 22 weeks spread over the 3 years to apply the skills acquired. |
Supervised Projects
A total of 600 hours is allocated to supervised projects. These projects enable students to conduct a study in small groups. They are carried out over the course of the three-year program alongside the regular curriculum.
Program
The program begins in September and lasts three years. It is structured around academic and technical coursework. The total number of hours is 2,000, spread over six semesters. The program is based on a competency-based approach. The acquisition of competencies is based on a combination of professional simulations and theoretical instruction.

(*) Learning and Assessment Situations (SAE)
SAEs enable the assessment of competencies in real-world situations. This assessment is conducted in accordance with all the elements that structure the framework and is based on the portfolio approach—that is, a process of reflection and demonstration led by the student. As a set of actions, an SAE requires the student to select, mobilize, and combine relevant resources that are consistent with the targeted objectives. The purpose of an SAE is thus multifaceted:
- Contributing to the development of competencies;
- Supporting the learning and mastery of resources;
- Incorporating student self-assessment;
- Enabling individualized learning.
(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes referred to as a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio serves as a bridge between the academic world and the socio-economic world. As such, it addresses all aspects of a student’s professional development: from their education to their future as a professional.
(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
A key component of the program, the Personal and Professional Project is integrated into every semester and supported by the entire teaching staff. It enables students to take an active role in their education, to understand and internalize the program’s content, objectives, and targeted skills.
Starting in the second year, students choose a track and acquire skills specific to that track
- Automation and Industrial Computing (AII): Integratinga command and control system into an industrial process,
- Electricity and Energy Management (EME): INSTALL all or part of an on-site energy generation, conversion, and management system,
- Electronics and Embedded Systems (ESE): IMPLEMENT a hardware or software system.
