Presentation

Major in Electronics, Electrical Energy, Automation: L1 in the PCSI Portal (Physics, Chemistry, Engineering Sciences)

The objective of the EEA degree is to provide students with a solid foundation in fundamental science (mathematics, physics) combined with technologies in the field of EEA: electronics and optoelectronics, electrical engineering and electrical engineering, automation, and industrial computing.

This license program is designed for high school graduates who have studied physics, chemistry, mathematics, or engineering sciences in their junior and senior years.

The EEA degree program consists of a single track. The first year is shared with the PCSI Portal (Physics, Chemistry, Science, and Engineering).

In the second and third years, in addition to students who entered the bachelor's degree program in L1, students from DUT, BTS, or preparatory classes can join the program to continue their studies with a long-term degree (Bac +5) in the field of technology and EEA in particular.

Objectives

Upon completion of this course, students will have acquired:

- general scientific skills in order to analyze a scientific engineering problem and implement an experimental approach to solve this problem;

- Disciplinary scientific skills in order to solve an EEA problem by knowing how to use engineering tools and techniques and theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of EEA.

Know-how and skills

General scientific skills:

- Know and comply with regulations

- Adopt a multidisciplinary approach to solving a scientific problem

- Analyze and solve scientific problems independently while being able to work as part of a team.

- Implement an experimental approach: use the most common measuring devices and techniques; analyze experimental data, assess the limits of a model's validity, solve a complex problem by successive approximations.

- Ability to use and analyze technical documentation, particularly in English.

- Use a programming language.

- Use mathematical tools.

- Use data acquisition and analysis software.

Disciplinary scientific skills:

- Know how to apply theoretical and practical knowledge in the fields of Electronics, Electrical Engineering, and Automation (EEA).

- Use techniques commonly employed in the fields of EEA: synthesis and analysis of electrical diagrams, modeling of automatic systems, machine power management, synthesis and analysis of industrial computer programs, etc.

- Make the connection between the fundamental concepts of EEA and everyday technological applications.

- Become aware of cross-disciplinary areas of EEA and technological applications: sensors, robotics, microelectronics, nanotechnology, energy, space, etc.

Organization

Program

The EEA bachelor's degree is organized into six semesters (S1 to S6) and structured into compulsory teaching units (UE). Each UE has a credit value (ECTS). Each semester is validated by 30 ECTS. The bachelor's degree is obtained after validating 180 ECTS.

The EEA Bachelor's degree is an initial training program in which EEA-specific subjects become increasingly important as students progress (6 ECTS in L1 S1, 6 ECTS in L1 S2, 23 ECTS in L2 S3, 26 ECTS in L2 S4, 28 ECTS in L3 S5, and 30 ECTS in L3 S6).

Target audience

In L1: automatic admission for all holders of a French baccalaureate or equivalent diploma, regardless of the year in which it was obtained. Registration is mandatory on the Parcoursup admissions website.

In L2 or L3: automatic admission for students who have successfully completed L1 PCSI, afirst year of health studies (LAS – MMOPK or PASS with a science reorientation) and L2. Based on application for students coming from BUT, BTS, other universities, CPGE or other STS degrees from the UM. Applications will be reviewed in May-June for the first wave or September for the second wave by an educational committee.

Students who have never been enrolled in a French university or high school must contact the International Relations Office at the University of Montpellier.

Continuing education

The main objective of the EEA bachelor's degree is to continue on to a master's degree, in particular the UM's EEA master's degree.

Upon completion of L2-EEA, students may enroll in L3-EEA or L3 Applied Physics (subject to approval by an academic committee), enter certain engineering schools (MEA department at Polytech’ Montpellier, INSA, ENSEEIHT, Supélec, etc.) based on their application, apply for certain professional bachelor's degrees at IUT-30 and IUT-34, or those offered by the Faculty of Sciences at UM.

At the L3-EEA level, students can also apply (based on their academic record) to certain engineering schools, as they can at the L2-EEA level.

Continuing studies abroad

Thanks to the national and international recognition of these research centers and the contacts developed by Montpellier's faculty and researchers, students can continue their studies, either entirely or partially, at other universities in France and abroad.

Gateways and reorientation

There are numerous bridges between the various programs in the field of EEA at the University of Montpellier (Bachelor's degree in EEA, Bachelor's degree in Physics and Applications, and Professional Bachelor's degree in Acoustics at the Faculty of Sciences – DUT GEII / Physical Measurement at the IUTs of Montpellier, Nîmes, and Béziers – Professional Bachelor's degrees at the IUT of Montpellier – MEA program at Polytech’ Montpellier). One of the strengths is that many of the teachers involved in these different programs are affiliated with the IES (Institute of Electronics and Systems – UMR CNRS 5214) and the LIRMM (Laboratory of Computer Science, Robotics and Microelectronics of Montpellier, UMR CNRS 5506).

The L2 EEA is open to students with a DUT-GEII, BTS in electronics and electrical engineering, or CPGE, based on their academic record. The best of these students are admitted directly into the EEA Bachelor's degree program in L3.

Similarly, our second-year students have the opportunity to switch to professional bachelor's degrees, work-study programs, OSSI, CAIEE, GEEB, and SE offered by the Montpellier University Institute of Technology, as well as the professional bachelor's degree in Acoustics offered by the Faculty of Sciences in continuing education.

Professional integration

The EEA degree is primarily intended to lead to further study in an EEA master's program. However, it is also possible to enter the workforce as a senior technician in all types of companies (large corporations, SMEs, microbusinesses, civil service, and local authorities) in the fields of electronics, electrical engineering, industrial IT, and automation.
