Program Objectives This program aims to deepen the student's knowledge and provide training for research in a specialty of electrical engineering while allowing him to carry out a rigorous scientific approach which should make an original contribution to knowledge or the application of knowledge in practice. The main areas covered by the program are: industrial electronics; electrical engineering; micro and nanosystems. Industrial electronics and electrical engineering refer here to the design and analysis of techniques and processes for converting the transport and use of electrical energy by electronic devices and by microsystems. Energy efficiency, renewable energies, distributed production and mechatronics are particularly targeted to train specialists who can contribute to sustainable development. Micro and nano systems refer here to the issue of design and development of systems on chips and data processing using microelectronics and nanoelectronics. The activities of the program make it possible to train specialists who will be able to jointly develop micro and nanoelectronic algorithms and architectures to offer effective solutions in various applications in telecommunications, measurement, automatic control and other fields. The program is intended for candidates who are moving towards a teaching or research career as well as professionals who wish to acquire training in research and development. At the end of his training, the student must have demonstrated: that he is able to design, pursue and complete research projects independently; that he is able to contribute in an original way to the advancement of knowledge in electrical engineering; that he has developed advanced intervention capabilities in his area of ​​specialization; and that he has the basic skills necessary for scientific communication and the dissemination of knowledge.
