Presentation
By enrolling in the Bachelor of Technology in Electrical Engineering and Industrial Computing (B.U.T. GEII), students benefit from an integrated 3-year program leading to a Bachelor's degree. 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 structured around practical work experience, with periods spent in companies as interns or on a sandwich course.
Objectives
A versatile diploma, the B.U.T. GEII diploma is designed to train middle managers capable of setting up and managing electrical installations, designing, producing, programming and maintaining fixed or embedded electronic boards (automotive, avionics, robotics, etc.), and automating and controlling industrial processes.
You'll be able to manage and maintain industrial IT networks, and analyze and develop information processing and transmission systems.
Ultimately, you'll be working in the fields of the city and industry of the future, smart and connected networks, transport and electromobility, aeronautics, renewable energies, healthcare, audiovisual, space, etc.
Know-how and skills
The aim of the GEII diploma is 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 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 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 company's economic, environmental and regulatory stakes.
- Maintaining a system in operational condition: by adopting proactive communication with the various players; by adopting a holistic approach integrating new technologies and digital transformation.
- Skill 4: specific to each course
These 4 GEII specialization skills include the 6 cross-disciplinary skills listed below:
- the use of digital technology,
- the use of data for analysis,
- written and oral expression and communication,
- positioning in a professional field,
- mastery of different information and communication techniques,
- acting responsibly within a professional organization.
International dimension
International mobility made easy.
Organization
Knowledge control
Assessment is continuous and at the end of each semester (30 ECTS per semester). It is used to assess the level of mastery of acquired skills. A total of 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be passed to obtain the B.U.T. GEII.
Students who do not wish to continue into 3rd year of the B.U.T. GEII and have validated 120 ECTS (4 semesters) can apply for the Diplôme Universitaire Technologie (D.U.T.) GEII (bac + 2).

Internships, tutored projects
Internship | Mandatory |
|---|---|
Length of internship | A minimum of 22 weeks over the 3 years to apply the skills acquired. |
Tutored projects
600 hours are allocated to tutored projects. These enable students to carry out a study in a small group. They are carried out over the course of the three-year training program, in parallel with the regular curriculum.
Program
Training begins in September and lasts 3 years. It is structured around academic and technological courses. The total number of hours is 2,000, spread over 6 semesters. The program is built around a skills-based approach. The acquisition of skills is based on a combination of work experience and theoretical instruction.

(*) Situations d'Apprentissage et d'Évaluation (SAE) (Learning and Assessment Situations)
SAEs enable competencies to be assessed in situ. This assessment is carried out in line with all the elements structuring the reference framework, and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e. a process of reflection and demonstration carried out by the student him/herself. As a set of actions, the SAE requires the student to select, mobilize and combine relevant resources that are consistent with the targeted objectives. The stakes of an SAE are thus multiple:
- Participating in the development of skills;
- Supporting learning and the mastery of resources;
- Integrating student self-assessment;
- Enabling individualized learning.
(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes referred to as a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a link between the academic and socio-economic worlds. In this way, it responds to all the dimensions of a student's professionalization: from his or her training to his or her future as a professional.
(***) The Personal and Professional Project (PPP)
Present in every semester of the training program and supported by all the teachers on the teaching team, the Personal and Professional Project is a structuring element that enables students to play an active role in their training, to understand and appropriate its content, objectives and targeted skills.
From the 2nd year onwards, students choose a pathway and acquire skills specific to the chosen pathway.
- Automatism and Industrial Computing (AII): 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): IMPLANTE a hardware or software system.
