| Course objective : | The main objective of the course is to give students a basic multidisciplinary technical background gathering several high tech domains. This course should help students cope with problems resulting from new technologies in their professional life, by providing them with a sufficient technical background. Students will have to be convincing in their future contacts with experts, showing both strict reasoning & precise discourse. | |||||

| Prerequisites : | Basic knowledge in sciences and applied sciences | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | The course will be organized along two main lines : 1. Theory introduction to the subjects presented in class 2. Advanced technologies seminars. Each seminar (3h) will be devoted to a single high tech subject, and will start with a presentation introducing basic theoretical principles. This part will constitute the interface between scientific knowledge acquired by students in preceding years of study and the more technical aspects developed in the second part. The second part will consist of interactive lectures by guest speakers from specialized companies, research centers or universities. | |||||
