Content
As explained before, the thematics of the proposed seminars will be defined each year and then could change depending on the progresses of the related fields in electrical engineering. The aim is to offer the students a place of exchanges and education on hot topics not yet taught in courses in electronics, microwaves and telecommunications, furthermore bridging these electricity sub-domains. Les sujets abordés seront en rapport étroit avec les développements récents et futurs de l'industrie et de la recherche universitaire qui mettent en oeuvre, de manière croisée, les domaines précités. At the end of the seminars series, debates and personal work, the students will have a global view on some of the most recent developments in their domain of expertise, i.e., electrical engineering. They will analyze and discuss the evolution of the technologies and products in comparison to recently-published scientific results.
Teaching methods
The course proposes a series of seminar related to the most recent research subjects and industrial activities in the field of the electrical engineering given by various actors (university, research center, SME, major industry, start-up).
In parallel, students work in group of 2 or 3 on a subject chosen in agreement with the teachers and with the specific topics of the course. They have the opportunity of frequent interactions with teachers (individual or collective -course) to solve the faced problems, as well as with researchers of the UCL laboratories (and collaborations outside UCL).

Evaluation methods
Evaluation is based on a personal work (usually in a group of 2 or 3 students), on a subject approved by the teachers. The work is the subject of an oral presentation (using slides) and the writing of a synthesis report (about 15 to 20 pages per student written as a journal article, including references).
Other information
Basic education in electronics, microwaves and telecommunications. Specialized education in one of the above domains of electricity.
