Degree courses

An important French Engineering School, Supélec is a benchmark in the field of information and energy sciences. It constitutes a privileged pathway leading to all economic sectors.

On an international level, Supélec can be compared to the most prestigious'Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Departments of the major European and American Universities. The quality of the engineers who earn their diplomas here each year is recognised world-wide. The main part of recruitment is made through a competitive examination which is held following the completion of the 'Classes Préparatoires', along with recruitment through academic qualifications, of French or foreign students.

Engineer training constitutes the main mission of the School. It lasts three years, after two to four years of post-baccalaureate training. The School also proposes several post-graduate and doctoral training programs.

Training programs offered are:

The information system is a critical resource for every enterprise.This course presents the common architectures and concepts of the two main components: communication networks and data bases.

An introduction to distributed data and processing Disadvantages of centralized schemes, assets of distributed and parallel architectures: example, the client-server model. Generic services: file sharing, directories, mail, Web. The new Peer-to-Peer paradigm. Data portability. Applications architecture: two tiers, 3 to N tiers, transaction-oriented, ORB, OTM. Problems raised by a distributed approach: information consistency, critical paths, global time synchronisation. Communication systems architecture Network architectures and layered models: components (access networks, transport networks, network controlers, circuit and message switching, routing); functions (addressing, multiplexing, segmentation, error and flow control, real time requirements); OSI model (services, connectionless and connection-oriented modes), protocols, PDU, gateways, example of the TCP/IP protocol stack. Applications examples: C/S, Web (HTML encoding and HTTP protocol). Network communication interfaces: sockets, RPC, CORBA. TCP and IP protocols. Ethernet local area networks. The public telephonic switched network PTSN. Data bases General overview: history, DBMS components, data model and data base schema notions, the main data base systems (relational, OO, RO). Relational model and relational algebra. Data base design: from UML to the relational model, standardization. A short introduction to SQL: specification, management and query language. Request optimisation. Queries consistency and concurrent access. Client/Server and distributed DBMS. An introduction to Data Warehouse and Data Mining.
