Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes

• Skills for organising and supporting learning in an evolving dynamic.
• Understand the subject content, its epistemological foundations, its scientific and technological development, its didactics and teaching methodology.

Learning Outcomes of UE

This course will introduce several materials exploited for their electronic properties rather than mechanical. We will describe the working principle of several devices (such as solar cells, sensors, electroluminescent diodes, field-effect transistors) and the choice of the best adapted materials. The course will also highlight the strong differences between academic research and industrial exploitation.
