Training Objectives

Attached to the Industrial Electronics department, the Automotive Software Engineering (ASE) program trains versatile engineers in the design and integration of high-quality embedded software for the automotive industry, developing their expertise in both hardware and software in compliance with international automotive standards and certifications such as ISTQB, ASPICE, ISO 26262, and AUTOSAR.

At the end of this program, ASE graduates will be able to:

  • Design and optimize electronic and software architectures for embedded systems.
  • Integrate artificial intelligence solutions in industrial systems.
  • Manage projects using various methodologies (Agile, SCRUM, V-cycle) while collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

Subjects

Spread over three years, the ASE training is structured around lectures, tutorials (TD), practical work (TP), and projects. From the fourth semester, the project-based approach becomes more prominent: projects are increasingly oriented according to the targeted profiles of students to strengthen progressive specialization. The training concludes with a final year project (PFE) in the last semester.

The study plan of this program consists of four components: Automotive Systems, Software Engineering, Embedded Hardware Engineering, and Soft & Language Skills.

Automotive Systems (22%) :
Automotive systems overview, Automotive Diagnostic Services and Testing, Automotive communication protocols, Automotive system modeling, AUTOSAR.
Software Engineering (33%) :
C programming, Automotive software engineering, Object-Oriented Programming, Software engineering change management, Security and safety: Design/programming, Software testing, AI for Automotive, Parallel architectures, Formal verification.
Soft & Language Skills (16%) :
Team management project, Professional Career Development, English, German.
Embedded Hardware Engineering (29%) :
Microcontroller and programming, Advanced MCU embedded C application, Real-time systems, Analog Electronics, Digital Electronics.
