Presentation
The "Integrated and Embedded Electronic Systems" (SEIE) course of the Master EEA, unique at the regional level, relies on the strong and nationally and internationally recognized competences of the EC and researchers of the Microelectronics Department of the LIRMM in the field of design and test of microelectronic circuits and systems. This field 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 systems and microsystems, digital security and the use of artificial intelligence.
The success rate calculated on the LMD4 is about 90%.

Objectives
The objective of the SEIE course of the EEA Master's degree is to train future actors in the field of microelectronics who will be able to work directly in the industrial world or to pursue in-depth research work during a postgraduate degree.
Know-how and skills
The main skills acquired (scientific, professional, methodological ...) are :
- Understand/master the tools and methods for designing and testing microelectronic circuits and systems.
- Moving from theory to practice in a laboratory/research institute or in a company.
- Know how to communicate and present a scientific and technical project.
-
Organization
Special arrangements
The course is open to sandwich courses in M1 and M2.
The course is open to a double degree with the IAE (Institute of Business Administration).
Program
The SEIE course of the Master EEA has a pedagogical progression over two years (4 semesters).
The first year of the Master's program consists of two semesters. The first semester is shared by all the courses of the Master EEA giving the basic theoretical knowledge and transversal skills in the EEA disciplines. In the second semester, the students of the SEIE course follow specific UEs. The program also includes English and SHS (Human and Social Sciences) courses. Students carry out a project that may extend beyond the first semester and must complete an internship in a company or an 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 specificities of the research laboratory linked to the Master's degree. It completes the training by providing skills in the fields of design and testing of integrated and embedded electronic systems. The second semester is devoted to a final study project and an industrial or research internship.

Further studies
After the M2, students who wish to do so can enter a doctorate in an academic or industrial environment in a field close to the training, which will lead them to a bac+8 level.
Continuing your studies abroad
After the M2, students who wish to do so can enter a doctorate in an academic or industrial environment in a field close to the training, which will lead them to a bac+8 level.
Bridges and reorientation
Possibility for a student holding a Master 1 or a Master 2 in the field of EEA or applied physics to apply for a Master 2. Its admission is subject to the pedagogical committee of selection of the course.
A Master 1 student may be reoriented to another course with the agreement of the course director or to another national course.
Professional integration
Students who have completed this course are offered two possibilities for professional integration.
- Access to industrial jobs: chosen by about 70% of a class. Numerous opportunities in the field of design and testing of microelectronic circuits and integrated systems: designer of embedded and heterogeneous systems, digital circuits, analog and mixed circuits, application engineer, product engineer.
- Access to research jobs: R&D engineer or researcher for 30% of a class after further study.
