This Advanced Master Degree is carried out in partnership with society NEXIO, expert in EMC, and with the support of VALEO andORANGE and with lessons from professionals from major groups (SAFRAN, ARIANE, THALES, AIRBUS, etc.).
The Advanced Master Degree - Mastère Spécialisé "Electromagnetic Disturbance & Electronic System Integrity" (EDESI) from the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles is an excellent training course at Bac+6 level whose objective is to meet the demand from companies for expert engineers who know how to carry out electronic developments taking into account the issues of electromagnetic pollution and system integrity.
The Advanced Master Degree - Mastère Spécialisé in “Electromagnetic Disturbance & Electronic System Integrity” (EDESI) aims to strengthen the skills wave physicselectronics engineers to enable them to better understand and act on these issues.
Indeed, the growing use of electronic devices in various end-user industries makes electromagnetic compatibility an essential service. It helps minimize the possibility that radiated or conducted emissions produced by a device will interfere with other nearby electronic products.
At the end of the EDESI Advanced Master Degree, engineering students will have acquired skills in:
- Considering EMC in the product development cycle
- Analysis of EMC phenomena
- Simulations and measurements
- Certification
The holder will be able toanalyze the integrity of a system with a systemic approach, taking into account all the technical, human, economic and organizational elements, while knowing how to integrate the constraints of the project (costs, deadlines, technical possibilities, etc.).
The targeted positions require a high degree of autonomy and significant responsibility and will lead the incumbent to interact on an equal footing with other engineers specializing in their field.
