Prerequisites

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The course is divided into 2 parts. T he first part consists of an introduction to key concepts of thermodynamics, heat transfer and energy and address the problem of environmental issues. The second part is devoted to the study of electrical, technology, integrated circuits, and discusses the key concepts of electronic analog and digital as well as basic concepts and techniques to understand the telecommunications network architecture.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 The course aims to give students the technological base in the fields of energy and environment, electronics and telecommunications, to enable it to understand the specific language of science and collaborate and interact with specialists in these fields. The course also aims to make possible the implementation of a project in control.
