Introduction

The Electrical Engineering department trains engineers capable of managing projects by specifying, designing, and developing complex electronic systems. The skills taught are aligned with the needs of companies in the sector.

Electrical Engineering graduates are actively involved in addressing major societal challenges such as future mobility and renewable energy.

Engineering students learn to:

  • Work effectively in teams

  • Operate in high-tech fields such as electrical energy conversion, renewable energy, robotics, and embedded computing systems

  • Understand and solve complex problems

  • Successfully carry out practical and applied projects

Content of the academic programm

Structure of the Electrical Engineering Program

The Electrical Engineering program is spread over three years:

  • First year: Core fundamentals in electrical and electronic engineering, along with a Common Core shared across all Polytech specialties.

  • Second year: Reinforcement of specialized engineering skills and business sciences.

  • Third year: Advanced specialization based on selected tracks, exposure to the job market, and opportunities to explore various industrial or research topics (including the possibility of pursuing a double degree with various Master’s programs at Université Clermont Auvergne or a Master of Science abroad).

During the final year, students choose from two specializations within the department and two cross-disciplinary options open to all Polytech departments:

Specializations within the Electrical Engineering Department

Energy Conversion and Robotics

Graduates are trained to manage interdisciplinary projects that combine electrical energy conversion and robotic system control. The curriculum addresses the use of electrical energy, motor control, robot motion management, and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) considerations between systems and their environment.

Embedded Computing Systems

Engineers are prepared to design, develop, operate, and maintain digital systems involving both hardware and software. This specialization focuses on the design, implementation, and verification of embedded systems.

Cross-Departmental Options

"Energy" Track

Training focused on maintenance, management, and optimization of energy systems, including the integration of renewable energy into the energy mix.

 "Bio-based Materials for Sustainable Development" Track

Project-based learning in pairs, focused on bio-based materials. Topics include circular economy, sustainable development, and applications in sectors such as urban planning, construction and public works, biotech and biomedical, packaging and plastics, and materials for mobility.

Double Degree Opportunities

The department offers students the opportunity to pursue a double degree. [Learn more]

Project-Based Learning

The program combines:

  • 30% Lectures

  • 33% Tutorials

  • 22% Lab work

  • 15% Project work

Projects play a major role in the curriculum. The first project takes place at the end of the first year, allowing students to apply their learning from the first two semesters through a hands-on project.

In later years, students work in pairs on projects proposed by industrial partners, either related or unrelated to electrical engineering. Each student commits 200 hours, gaining experience in technical implementation, project methodology, and project management. Students are supported by faculty and industry mentors, and they experience real-world practices such as subcontracting. [Learn more about the projects]

Professional Training Contract (Contrat de professionnalisation)

Final-year students can pursue a professional training contract.

They change status from student to employee of the host company. The contract lasts 12 months.

A Win-Win Approach

For students:
The aim is to gain professional experience while completing the engineering degree. Compensation is based on a percentage of the minimum wage (SMIC), depending on age and education level. For exact figures, refer to the [Ministry’s official site].

For companies:
They gain access to a quickly operational engineer trained to their methods. The contract may entitle them to social security contribution exemptions, under certain conditions.

 Eligibility

  • Polytech Clermont students in initial training, aged 16 to 25, admitted to the final engineering year

  • All employers subject to funding continuing professional training, except the State, local authorities, and their administrative public institutions

Students with disabilities are supported throughout the process. [See support programs HERE]

Evaluation Methods

This pathway includes:

  • 2 intermediate oral evaluations

  • 1 final report

  • 1 final defense

These are in addition to ongoing assessments conducted by instructors.

Note: Partial validation of skill blocks is not possible.

Funding

The company covers all training costs, including tuition and registration fees at Polytech Clermont. Part or all of these costs may be covered by the company’s Skills Operator (OPCO).
