Presentation

By integrating the Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing (B.U.T. GEII), students benefit from an integrated 3-year program to reach the degree of Bachelor. The degree is aligned with international standards and facilitates exchanges with foreign universities.

With the B.U.T. GEII, students continue to benefit from a university and technological education supervised by experienced teaching teams. The curriculum is still based on professional situations, periods in companies in the form of internships or work-study programs.

Know-how and skills

The GOAL GEII allows to develop 4 professional skills:

  • Design the GEII part of a system: by adopting a holistic approach integrating technological innovations in line with the company's strategy to meet a customer's need; by producing all the necessary documents for the customer and the various service providers; by communicating appropriately with the various players before and during the design phase.
  • Verify the GEII part of a system: by taking into account the material, regulatory and contextual specificities; By implementing a test and evaluation plan, with a view to qualitative and corrective analysis; By taking into account the economic, environmental and regulatory issues of the company.
  • Ensure the maintenance of a system in operational condition: by adopting a proactive communication with the different actors; by adopting a holistic approach integrating new technologies and digital transformation.
  • Competency 4: Specific to each course

These 4 skills of the GEII specialization include the 6 cross-cutting skills below:
- the use of digital technology,
- the use of data for analysis,
- expression and written and oral communication,
- positioning in relation to a professional field,
- mastery of the various information and communication techniques,
- action in responsibility within a professional organization

Knowledge control

The control of knowledge is continuous and at the end of each semester (30 ECTS per semester). It allows to know the level of mastery of the acquired skills. In total, 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be validated to obtain the B.U.T. GEII.

Students who do not wish to continue in the 3rd year of the B.U.T. GEII and having validated 120 ECTS (4 semesters) can ask for the delivery of the Diplôme Universitaire Technologie (D.U.T.) GEII (bac + 2).

Internships, tutored projects

Internship

Mandatory

Duration of the course

22 weeks minimum spread over the 3 years in order to apply the acquired skills.

Tutored projects
600 hours are allocated to tutored projects. They allow students to conduct a study in small groups. They are carried out during the three years of training in parallel with the classical teaching.

Program

The training starts in September and lasts 3 years. It is structured around university and technological courses. The total hourly volume is 2,000 hours divided into 6 semesters. The program is built on a skills-based approach. The acquisition of skills is based on the articulation of professional situations and theoretical teachings .

(*) Learning and Evaluation Situations (LES)
LES allow for the evaluation of the competency in a given situation. This evaluation is carried out in accordance with all the elements structuring the reference system, and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e. a process of reflection and demonstration carried out by the student himself. As a set of actions, the SAE requires the student to choose, mobilize and combine relevant resources that are consistent with the targeted objectives. The challenge of an EAS is thus multiple:
- Participate in the development of competencies;
- Support learning and the mastery of resources;
- Integrate self-assessment by the student;
- Allow individualization of learning.

(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes called a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a connection point between the academic world and the socio-economic world. In this way, it responds to all the dimensions of the student's professionalization: from his training to his future as a professional.

(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
Present in each semester of the program and supported by all the teachers of the pedagogical team, the Personal and Professional Project is a structuring element that allows the student to be the actor of his training, to understand and appropriate the contents, the objectives and the targeted competences

From the 2nd year, the student chooses a path and acquires a specific skill for the chosen path

  • Industrial Automation and Computer Science (IACS ): INTEGRATE a command and control system into an industrial process,
  • Electricity and Energy Management (EEM): INSTALL all or part of an on-site energy production, conversion and management system,
  • Electronics and Embedded Systems (ESE ): IMPLEMENT a hardware or software system.
