This specialized engineering program, offered on a work-study basis, aims to train engineers to be autonomous in the design and integration of automation and autonomous decision-making systems in intelligent transportation systems. It is offered on a work-study basis.
The accreditation process for this program by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI) is currently being finalized.
This program dedicated to smart mobility will enable you to:
- Understand the needs for autonomous decision-making and their impact on the design or integration into a system, its operation, and its social acceptance;
- Understand and manage the validation and verification requirements of systems including autonomous decision-making components;
- Design and integrate autonomous functions into smart mobility systems using all available technological components, from sensors to architectures, communication, and algorithmic processing components;
- Integrate and master the specificities of the implementation domain.
Courses
The program runs over a period of three semesters.
- UE1 Fundamentals
- UE2 Architecture & Implementation
- U3.1 Perception
- U3.2 Navigation, Control & Interaction
- U3.3 Communication
- U4 Smart mobility systems
- U5 Conferences
- U6 Tutored project
- UE7 Company assignment
The program is based on:
- Fundamental courses on learning techniques, algorithms used for analyzing and understanding the environment, decision-making, and navigation;
- Technology-focused courses on embedded architectures, components, and available technology building blocks, ranging from sensors and computers to communication management;
- Courses on the impact of the deployment of autonomous systems in society, ranging from operational safety requirements to the impact on the economic model and land use policies.
In addition to these three teaching blocks, there is a set of courses specific to the various areas of implementation, dealing with specific aspects such as the rules and specificities of the business domain (operational, regulatory, and normative constraints).
Supervised projects applied to the various areas of implementation punctuate the training.
Training closely linked to the professional mobility sector.
- Contributions from guest lecturers from the economic and industrial world;
- Completion of analysis and design projects for autonomous systems supervised by project managers leading these projects within partner companies;
- Visits to industrial platforms and testing, validation, and certification facilities;
Training schedule
- From September of year N to May of year N+1: apprentices will alternate between 4-week periods at school and 4-week periods at the company;
- From June to August of year N+1: full-time assignment at the company;
- In September and October of year N+1: period of classes at school;
- From November of year N to February of year N+2: period devoted full-time to the assignment at the company.
In total, over the 18 months, the assignment at the company represents 37 ECTS, or more than 41% of the ECTS for the entire program.
In addition to regular monitoring at the end of each 4-week period, the work placement is formally assessed at the end of each semester (pitch in the 1st semester, a poster in the 2nd semester, and a report and defense in the 3rd semester).
Graduates of this specialized engineering degree in smart mobility will hold a variety of positions, such as:
- Mobility Research and Development Engineer
- Systems Engineer
- Mobility Researcher
- ...
