HEPL

All basic notions of automation studied in the course of previous years.

Theory: Following the courses given in previous years, this part essentially becomes attached to the survey of particular techniques of control and the study of fieldbuses.

Applications: To apply techniques seen in the theoretical course.

Theory: Parametric identification ; Control in the state space ; Fuzzy logic control ; Study of non linear systems ; Special techniques of control ; Study of some fieldbuses.

Applications: The experimentation begins with the techniques seen in theory. Exercises of synthesis come to complete the formation.

Introduction to Economics and to Business Management (BAC2)

Business Management ( M1)

Explain that :

- environment is changing continuously because of  technical and économic progresses;

- that is why the company is under obligation to  adapt its production, its processes and its organization to meet all requirements from clients:  for example , quality requirements.

- business is trending to "global quality";

-new functions and new jobs emerge: Project Manager and Quality Manager (quality controller).

-Introduction:the Company and its environment

*who is concerned : "shareholders" and "stakeholders"

*change and new requirements from clients

*quality: cost ; cost  of "bad quality"

-"Client-oriented Firm"

*Aim: to satisfy client

*advantages

* marketing-mix ( 4 P :Product-Place-Publicity-Price)

- guarantee (legal aspects )

-  Quality management :8 principles

- ISO Standards (What ?Why?)

- certification (for ex. steps to ISO 9001 certification )

Economics (micro and macro) (BAC3)

Business management (M1)

- face real business management situations .

-- go further in Business management

-decompartmentalize different economic and management courses

- understand the many-sided aspects of management.

- analyze the study of “ long-term decisions” (investment and its financing) in-depth

Capital investment decision

*opportunity cost of investment

*optimal financing (LT&MTcredits;leasing)

*leverage

*compounding and discounting (distinction);cost of capital

          During his placement, the student will be entrusted with a mission consistent regarding activities related to the guidelines proposed by the High School.  Through it, he must prove his ability to develop the skills required by his university level training and his future career in engineering.  The placement will lead to a dissertation, "Travail de Fin d'Etudes", the culmination of five years of study at university level.

All the topics developed during the whole formation

A engineering problem has to be solved, a report has to be written and a talk has to be given.

Starting with the specifications of an engineering problem, the student must investigate one or several solutions.  It may be lead to carry out a prototype, if necessary.

If the project is given by the industry or a research institute, it will be submitted to a jury of teachers for approbation.

The personal part of the work should be apparent and clearly distinguished of other parties’ contribution.

The evaluation will be based on

• the amount and quality of the work done,
• the quality of the written report
• the quality of the viva voce.
