ECE engineering studies and projects

What is ECE?

       The ECE Paris (www.ece.fr) is a Graduate School of Engineering. It's specialized in the New Technologies of Information and Communication (NTIC). It's a five years school of engineering often classified among the five best school of engineerings and located in two places in the heart of Paris.
The main orientations of the engineering cycle are Information Systems, Embeded Systems and Telecommunications and Networks. The teaching is based on professionalism and international experience. This education is maintained by the great number of partnerships with foreign universities, projects realised by students during the five years and a minimum of 12 months of cumulated internships.

The many associations of the school brings a large implication of the students in them. It's what allows the school to have a Junior Entreprise (Jeece) so active and formative.

"The technologies tought at the ECE are in the heart of most of the fields of activity : industry, production, energy, buildings, transports, commerce and distribution, finance, inssurance, administration, health, education, culture, and so on.
The goal we set is that when you leave the ECE, you will have the same ease to work for a telecom operator in Denmark, in an automobile research laboratory in Japan, in the marketing service of a start-up in the Sillicon Valley or at the front desk of a great French bank."

My projects done at the ECE

4rth year:
Computer science: Web Project: Creation of a contact management platform. Use of the MVC method.
Multiplidiscinary project: Project Manager: Creation of an electronic notebook, uNote. It's a portable electronic sheet of paper. Realisation of a part of the software in C++ with the embedded librairy Qt. The system is linked to an online sharing space and a PC software to store the documents.

3rd year:
Computer science: Java Project of stock exchange simulation. 5 stocks the 100 student teams will fight for (with artificial intelligence). 1 rich winning team.
Engineer's job studying: Interview of two engineers with the same job and analysis of their work (differences et similarities). Document and oral presentation.
Knowledge of the contemporary world: Book about the current problematics to analyse. Document and oral presentation.

2nd year:
Computer science: Game Othello programmed in C / GTK language with an artificial intelligence.
Computer science: Detrmination of a bike itinerary in Paris. From a start and destination on a map, determination of the shortest path.
Intercultural communication: Analysis of the different types of communication in Great-Britain and the cultural differences with France (formation, teamwork, negotiations, meetings). Oral presentation.
STTP*: Computer science technologies applied to the 7th art. Realisation of a document about special effects; of a video created with special effects and studying of a finger tracking system with a wiimote. From existing work, we have realized a system allowing to manipulate a shape on the computer with captors fixed on the fingers (see part IX of the Document on special effects). We have been selected to present our work at the "day of science" at the ECE. - Document on special effects (french) - Video on special effects -

1st year:
Computer science: Programation in C / Allegro language. Creation of a game, The Mings, reproducing the famous game the lemmings. Creation of the whole game with three levels and original powers.
Computer science: Projects out of the curriculum: Game of wheelchair races with possible bets and a stategie game.
To learn more about these games and test them, visit my personal webpages: Games created, my personal webpages
Communication: Three projects: Realisation of the portrait of an ECE student, writing of a newspaper article and of a short story. Teamwork.
STTP*: Creation of a guided car bodywork with automatic lights (lighting up when in darkness).
