Euromed Polytechnic School (EPS)

Graduates of Euromed Polytechnic School are prepared for a wide choice of professions in the fields of electronics (micro, nano, RF, VLSI), information technologies mainly oriented towards the physical layer (radio- frequencies, photonics, signal and image processing, multimedia communication), electrical energy (renewable energies, smart grids, microgrids, energy storage, power quality, industrial electronics, power electronics, energy conversion, electric machines) and automatic.

This engineering course in electrical engineering offers excellent preparation both for research at the doctoral level and for the professional world in cutting-edge industries and technology.

Description of the sector:

Electrical sciences are at the heart of the major challenges that our society must face. Mastering the development of information, communication and data technologies, ensuring a reliable, responsible and sustainable energy supply, innovating in electronics, these are some of the challenges that engineers in electrical engineering options electronics, electrotechnics and automatic are called upon to raise. Electricity is at the heart of developments in our society. It gave birth to electronics, a major technological breakthrough. Connected watches, drones, flexible screens, virtual reality headsets, home automation assistants, these devices would not work without electronics, nor the miniaturization that characterizes them. Miniaturizing is not, however, the only objective of electronic engineers who must also design more complex and less expensive devices, while being more powerful and consuming less current.

Some sensors today are so tiny that they can be attached under the skin. Once in place, they record physiological parameters such as heart rate, blood pressure or blood glucose level. They also transmit their data wirelessly and are even capable of administering a dose of medication to patients. The quantum computer, which uses circuits combining electronics and optics, is another example of a coming revolution in this discipline.

It is impossible to talk about electricity without associating it with the concept of energy which is at the heart of all the issues linked to our energy supply of tomorrow. Fossil fuels will come to an end and the exit from nuclear power is on the agenda of several countries. The time has therefore come for the energy transition. In this process, the role of electrical engineers is central. These specialists are behind new energy sources such as wind or solar, as well as in the design of electricity production and transmission networks. Their contribution will be major for the future of the planet.

Why choose the electrical engineering cycle?

The electrical engineering program at Euromed Polytechnic School responds to the growing needs of interconnected sectors of science and technology. It trains researchers and professionals of a very high level in the fields of electricity, electronics, electronics and automation.

Students attend classes taught by internationally renowned faculty and participate in numerous group projects and practical laboratory work. EPS training in electrical engineering encompasses both the theoretical bases and the practical aspects of this discipline. It is also possible to choose one of the following specializations:

- Electronics

- Electrical engineering

- Automatic.

Graduates work in companies in the engineering and research sectors, in the manufacturing and energy industries, in service companies, telecommunications, etc.

The specialist and at the same time generalist profile of these engineers allows them to also pursue careers in the tertiary sector, within the banking and insurance sectors for example.

The graduate can apply for jobs as a design office engineer, research and development engineer, method engineer, production engineer, consulting engineer, business engineer, project manager, etc.
