This course introduces a comprehensive overview of different power electronics components and applications. It presents the basics of devices, their characteristics, their principle of operation, and their range of applications as well. The course also underlines the principle of operation of converters used in DC drives (diodes rectifiers, controlled rectifiers and choppers). It discusses the principle of harmonics, performance parameters and filtering techniques. Furthermore, upon completion of this course, the student will be able to outline the characteristics and operation principle of power AC drives (inverters and AC-AC controllers). Mainly full bridge and three phase circuits are highlighted. The effect of inductive loads and protection schemes are discussed as well. The student will understand and be able to describe switching techniques and conduct both performance and harmonical studies. The student will be able to demonstrate a certain familiarity with the various configurations and applications and to develop models and simulations.

The project contains 3 expected content types: courses & tutorials, project sessions (labs), and personal work.
For each semester, this projects represents ~40h of work on-site + 20h-30h of personal work. The total workload for each semester is estimated to 60- 70h/student.

Content of semester 6:
1. Courses & tutorials: Ecodesign approaches and strategies.
- Courses topics: Ecodesign regulations & strategies, Materials & environment, Design for Sustainable behaviour, Thermal insulation & downsizing, Ecodesign of packaging, design for End-of-life, Innovation for ecodesign.
- Tutorials: CES EduPack (choice of materials), Simapro, CREO (CAD modelling)
2. Project sessions (labs) supervised by the teacher: Developing 3 levels of ecodesigned solutions
- Solutions developments: calculations, CAD modelling, LCA modelling of the 3 levels
3. Personal work: information search, interpretation of LCA results.

Preparation for the defense: Preparation of a structured and convincing oral presentation.

As future engineers, Students need to understand the way a company works and how they shall collaborate with different functions.
Marketing is a key department in a company, interacting with almost all departments, especially with the R&D and Manufacturing functions.
This course is aiming at providing students with a global overview of what Marketing is and how Marketing function is interacting with other departments inside a company.

Students will discover the major definitions and tools taught in Marketing.
The course will be composed of Lectures and Tutorials.
Students will have the opportunity to review and check their understanding of the content as well as their level of knowledge
Students will have the opportunity to test and learn how to use Marketing tools during the Tutorials thanks to Group Work activities
Eventually they willbe able to implement these learning during the Innovation program that they will go throught during their 4th year

Introduction to Quality, its history and evolution.
Learn about quality management with the main tools related to it.
Analysis and understanding of the ISO 9001 standard, its purpose, context and stakes.
Audit: Preparing and conducting an Audit.
QRQC : Operational method of quality management and problem solving. Discovery and appropriation of A3 and Kanban communication tools.

The course resumes the basics of vibration analysis.
At first the vibration analysis and its matrix formalism is presented and applied at two degrees of freedom systems.
Then, damping and vibration isolation is presented.
Exercises are done after each notion to put into practice formula and method introduced in the course.
