Master's Degree in Computer Engineering

The CMI in Computer Engineering is labelled by the Figure network since June 2018.

Training

The CMI (Master's Degree in Engineering)These courses, which are labelled by the Figure network, provide an opportunity for the most motivated students to complete their training with specific courses offering a 5-year engineering curriculum.

• A strong orientation towards innovation, starting in the first two years with a project linked to a research laboratory, and continuing throughout the course through laboratory internships or activities involving placement with researchers
• Supplements (20% of additional courses) compared to a classic university education with an opening on the digital economy, management but also culture, robotics and artificial intelligence
• Immersion in a company from the 2nd year onwards through internships or work experience
• An international outlook with a minimum of 3 months spent abroad (training or internship)

Target skills and opportunities

The CMI Computer Engineering course atAvignon University enriches the competences of the bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science with a new dimension, namely the culture of innovation, by addressing the scientific, technological, managerial and economic aspects of innovation, as well as the culture of innovation itself. The students who follow this CMI programme will not only have the solid computer science skills offered by the CERI's bachelor's and master's degrees, but will also be the actors-producers of the next digital innovations in our society.

The main jobs envisaged for CMI graduates are

• R&D Engineer
• Start-Up Entrepreneur in Innovation
• Teacher-researcher in Computer Science
• Data scientist
• IT Consultant (Information Technology)
• Information systems architect, computer systems

Organization

The CMI "computer engineering" offered by Avignon University is based on the bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science offered by the Centre d'Enseignement et de Recherche en Informatique (CERI).

These courses offer three routes : ILSEN (Software Engineering for the Digital Society), IA (Artificial Intelligence), and SICOM (COMmunicating Computer Systems). The choice is made from L3 onwards through the 2 courses of license IL (Software Engineering) and SYR (Systems and Networks).

Both the bachelor's and master's degree programmes have been built around a programme and skills approach. It is within this framework that the CMI curriculum enriches these courses by broadening the skills targeted by the Bachelor's and Master's degrees with the complementary dimension of the culture of innovation. The approach is materialised by an integrative project undertaken in the first year; it brings students to the heart of an innovation process that they take up again in the second year to bring their own innovative project to prototyping. This integrative project, nourished and supervised by the researchers of the CERI computer laboratory, is a real research immersion. In the following years, the CMI programme includes specialised computer science courses focusing on the technologies underlying digital innovation, such as stochastic models, automatic learning and programming paradigms for Artificial Intelligence.

The course also offers an opening towards culture and societal issues, through theatre for example, and an awareness of entrepreneurship through participation in events such as the "36-hour timetable", during which the participants test the creation of an innovative company or take control of it for 36 hours. Finally, throughout the CMI, students are in a professional situation with internships to be carried out each year from the 2nd year onwards, either in a company or in a laboratory, and a required international mobility of at least 3 months during the course.

Apprenticeship training as part of the CMI programme will be possible in the 4th and 5th year.
