Faculty of Science
This teaching unit, devoted to the methods of manufacturing sensors, is structured around a technological project, conducted in pairs, whose progress will follow the progression of the associated courses.
Each project topic will be assigned at the beginning of the course
The proposed projects will focus on the fabrication and characterization of elementary microsystems. The main fabrication and characterization techniques will be presented through lectures and practical work will allow the project to progress.
Sensors & Associated Systems
ECTS
9 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
Acquire the theoretical and practical bases in the field of thermal, mechanical, acoustic and optical sensors. Set up these sensors within an automated instrumentation chain.
Architecture of systems on chips / embedded systems
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course covers a wide range of knowledge from the foundations of Boolean logic to the architecture of Systems-on-Chips (SoC), including logic synthesis flows, processor architecture and the basics of embedded software. VHDL, a hardware description language, also plays an important role in this course and will be studied in class and used in practical exercises, as well as in an "embedded systems" project.

This course covers a wide range of topics ranging from fundamentals of Boolean logic to digital SoC (Systems-on-Chips) architecture, including digital design flows, computer architecture and embedded software basics. VHDL will be studied in this lecture, for both logic synthesis and modelling / simulation purposes. Labs include hands-on VHDL exercises (design of a simple stack processor), and an "Embedded system" student project makes it possible to deepen knowledge in the area.
