SMARTCITY

AIMS

The major in Smart City aims at training ESEO engineers to be proficient in:

Processing the data pipeline (from sensors to decision making)
Collecting data with connected sensors or IoT;
Transporting data through city networks;
Optimising energy distribution by smart grid;
Storing data on dedicated server or cloud/distributed infrastructures;
Analysing data with Data Science, Artificial Intelligence or simulation.
The field is constantly expanding and requires not only strong technical expertise but also human skills like monitoring, involving municipalities and citizens, and many more besides.

ACQUIRED SKILLS

You will be capable of interpreting and using urban data, designing «smart» buildings with home automation and BIM. You will also be familiar with the various related technologies.

Furthermore, you will be involved in the development of the smart city and the design of the future urban solutions, such as optimising energy management, analysing city data, improving transport flows and providing solutions to new uses.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

You will have access to positions such as IT Project Manager, Systems Administrator, Design Engineer, Metropolitan Project Manager, Information System Analyst.
