Embedded Systems and Internet of Things

Overview of the Program

Language       English

Duration        3 Years

Level        Undergraduate

Approach    Hybrid

The objective of this program is to prepare students to continue advanced studies (Masters and Doctorate) in related disciplines, but also to be able to integrate industry. It aims to train technical specialists capable of analyzing, designing, testing, implementing, and maintaining embedded systems and Internet connected objects. Students are trained in adressing the communication, security, and energy implications of connecting IoT devices to the network. The Licence program aims to train computer and embedded system specialists capable of playing a leading role in the digital transformation of the industry (the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0).

Admission requirements

Students must be holders of a Tunisian Bac or equivalent of the following type:

Bac Maths
Bac Sciences experimentales
Bac Informatique
Bac Technique

Program objectives

The specific objectives of the program are to train specialists with solid theoretical, linguistic, and technical skills in engineering computer and
embedded systems, especially those based on IoT devices.

The program will enable graduates, in particular, to:

Design, analyze, evaluate, develop, test, implement, and maintain IT applications.
Design and deploy IoT solutions to collect, process, and secure data.
Design, install, maintain, and administer computer networks, mobile and IoT networks.
Be able to virtualize applications and services and to define and implement the appropriate security policy for a network.
Demonstrate an ability to work both individually and as part of a team.

Target careers

Graduates of the Licence in Embedded systems and IoT can continue their education to get a Master or Engineering degree in a related field. They can also join the industry to work on the development and maintenance of systems based on embeddded systems and the internet of things. The application of these technologies span industrial computing, automation, health informatics, smart agriculture, and smart cities. They can join a team to launch a startup to develop solutions relying on these technologies to serve the needs of clients in a variety of sectors.

Certifications

Graduates of the Licence in Embedded Systems & IoT often acquire a number of professional certifications in parallel with their engineering training thanks to the courses offered by MUST’s centre for professional and executive education. Certifications are available in various areas including system & network management, cloud computing, cybersecurity, data science, and database management.
