Presentation
The "Integrated and Embedded Electronic Systems" (SEIE) course of the EEA Master's degree, unique at the regional level, is based on the strong and recognized skills, at a national and international level, of the ECs and researchers of the Microelectronics department of the LIRMM in the field of design and testing of microelectronic circuits and systems. This area covers aspects such as the design of integrated digital and analog systems, the validation of integrated circuits and systems, the testing of integrated circuits and systems, industrial testing, the design and testing of heterogeneous and micro systems, digital security as well as the use of artificial intelligence.
The LMD4 success rate is around 90%.

Objectives
The aim of the SEIE pathway in the EEA Master's program is to train future players in the field of microelectronics, who will be able to move directly into the industrial world or pursue in-depth research work during post-graduate studies.
Know-how and skills
The main skills acquired (scientific, professional, methodological ...) are :
- Understand/master tools and methods for designing and testing microelectronic circuits and systems.
- Moving from theory to practice in a laboratory/research institute or company.
- Communicate and present a scientific and technical project.
-

Special features
The program is open to sandwich courses in M1 and M2.
The course is open to a double degree with the IAE (Institut d'Administration des Entreprises).
Program
The SEIE pathway in the EEA Master's program is a two-year (4-semester) program.
The first year of the Master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester is shared by all EEA Master's courses, providing basic theoretical knowledge and cross-disciplinary skills in EEA disciplines. In the second semester, students in the SEIE pathway follow specific UEs. The course also includes English and SHS (Human and Social Sciences) UEs. Students carry out a project that may extend into the first semester, and are required to complete an internship or end-of-study project.
The second year of the Master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester is academic, with both professional and research courses based on the specific features of the research laboratory associated with the Master's program, providing skills in the design and testing of integrated and embedded electronic systems. The second semester is devoted to a final-year project and an industrial or research internship.

And then
Further studies
After the M2, students who wish to do so can join a doctorate in an academic or industrial environment in a field close to the training that will take them to a bac+8 level.
Studying abroad
After the M2, students who wish to do so can join a doctorate in an academic or industrial environment in a field close to the training that will take them to a bac+8 level.
Bridges and reorientation
Students holding a Master 1 or Master 2 degree in EEA or applied physics may apply for a Master 2 degree. Admission is subject to the course's pedagogical selection committee.
A Master 1 student can be redirected to another course with the agreement of the course manager or another national course.
Professional integration
Students who have validated this course are offered two possibilities for professional integration.
- Access to industrial professions: path chosen by about 70% of a class. Numerous opportunities in the field of design and testing of microelectronic integrated circuits and systems: designer of embedded and heterogeneous systems, digital circuits, analog and mixed circuits, application engineer, product engineer.
- Access to research careers: R&D engineer or researcher for 30% of a class after further study.
