Become an Electronics Engineer

The Electronics Engineering Specialty course trains expert designers of complex electronic components, boards and systems, aware of energy, economic, testability, security and safety constraints.
Students gain a deep understanding of component operating principles, modeling methods, and design tools, from component to system. They also develop a systemic vision of engineering, enriched by transversal skills: communication, teamwork, autonomy, and the ability to integrate new complex issues.

Course objectives:

  • Train engineers capable of designing, testing and deploying advanced electronic systems.
  • Develop expertise in analog, digital, radio frequency and power electronics.
  • Raise awareness of the industrial, economic and societal challenges of the energy transition and sustainable technologies. 

Program

A 3-year course

The training is spread over six semesters, with academic semesters combined with professional internships. Those in spring (S6, S8, S10) include a period of in-company training (internship). In the third year, students can choose to complete the alternating training, which allows them to work in a company while continuing their studies.

The lessons are divided into 5 areas:

  • Mathematics and Physics
  • Computer Science and Digital
  • Analog and high frequency
  • Energy
  • Industrial and projects

Graduates can work in many electronics-related sectors, within public or private organizations. They can be involved throughout the entire life cycle of an electronic system: from design to integration, including manufacturing, testing, and optimization.

Upon completion of the training, graduates can perform various functions, including:

  • Integrated circuit design engineer: development of analog and digital solutions for embedded applications.
  • Power electronics engineer: energy management in electronic devices, conversion systems for renewable energies.
  • Embedded systems engineer: design of autonomous electronic systems in constrained environments (automotive, aerospace, health).
  • Electronics and RF Engineering Consultant: Design and optimization of wireless networks and communication systems. 

Registration fees - Financing

  • Students in the engineering cycle pay a different rate depending on the conditions defined by the decree of January 2, 2015 setting the tuition fees of CentraleSupélec
    The concept of EU includes the Member States of the European Union, the other States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and the Swiss Confederation.
