Provide students with practical knowledge of the C language using an approach that combines low-level aspects (hardware) and abstraction (operating system), based on basic knowledge of another high-level computer language (imperative programming), typically Python.

The first semester course reviews the grammar concepts essential for oral and written communication (tenses and aspect, asking questions, comparisons and superlatives, passive voice) as well as essential general vocabulary (numbers, measurements, shapes); It also includes an introduction to technical vocabulary (basic building materials, airplane engines, bike parts, electronic devices) through lessons and videos on topics related to mechanical engineering.
Finally, numerous activities are offered to promote oral expression skills (presentation vocabulary, simulations, role-playing, and tabletop games) so that students are able to describe the specific features, functions, and uses of a technical device of their choice during an oral presentation in groups of two.
Grammar aspects are limited to a review of modal auxiliaries.
The vocabulary is much more focused on the various elements involved in the design and operation of different types of combustion engines and on emerging technologies (drones, driverless vehicles, 3D printing).
Students must also produce a CV in English and practice writing emails in a formal style, so that they are prepared for situations when looking for internships or jobs where English proficiency will either be necessary or an additional skill.
Practicing expression is always the main objective, with an individual oral presentation at the end of the semester on their second-year mechanics project.
The aim of this course is to enable students to acquire or consolidate language skills that will be essential in their professional lives. English is now the international language of communication in the scientific and technical world, both for scientific publications and at conferences and meetings between professionals.

This supervised project aims to synthesize previously acquired knowledge but also to require students to work on new knowledge. Currently, the project focuses on the creation of a meteorological data acquisition center. This involves installing various sensors that measure characteristic physical quantities such as temperature, humidity, wind speed, pressure, light intensity, and pollution. These sensors will generate an electrical signal that synthesizes the information to be transmitted. The information is selected and then encoded. It is then transmitted via fiber optics or wirelessly until it is decoded and formatted for display.

Digital electronics viewed from its two most common aspects:
- Combinatorial logic and logic gates: Combinatorial and sequential aspects (flip-flops, counters, frequency dividers, registers).
- Microcontroller programming. Implementation of standard features in C language (learned in the first semester): bus communication, sensor and actuator interfacing, and time-sharing management.
