Networks and telecommunications
Context and objectives of the training
The objective of the professional degree in Networks and Telecommunications is to allow the student to learn to master the New Information and Communication Technologies which are omnipresent in our societies and companies.
These services, which until now have been used in the professional context (collaborative work, cloud computing, etc.), are arriving in force in everyday life: social networks, online games, e-commerce, video on demand, mobile access to Internet services, etc.
This training, which prepares students for the professional license in six semesters, is described in the present program, which has been set up locally by the teaching staff in partnership with industry and service professionals.
It provides students with practical and professional knowledge that prepares them for immediate integration into the fields of computer networks and telecommunications networks.
By relying on a broad scientific and technological culture, the training also allows students to develop their autonomy and initiative, to evolve and adapt to changes in their profession, throughout their personal and professional career.
A – Training objectives :
The graduate in Networks and Telecommunications works in all companies using New Information and Communication Technologies. They are therefore present in all the professions of operating system administration, ubiquitous or specific communications computing, network administration, telephony, as well as in the development of applications for smartphones and tablets. For example, in addition to the specific sectors of consulting and services that are always on the rise, there are also the ecommerce sector and the telecommunications operators sector. The latter, which is ambitious and dynamic and whose business is constantly evolving, has seen its mobile data traffic increase exponentially.
All networks are concerned, from service integration to information flow management (energy, security, etc.). In addition, the convergence of computer data networks and voice and video networks, of which Cloud Computing and virtualization are the best known elements, has generated new needs: videoconferencing, Internet television, telepresence, unified messaging.
In another area, that of health, a program to modernize hospital information systems has been launched with the implementation of the personal medical file. In this sector, needs will increase significantly, particularly in terms of information traceability, telemedicine, geolocation of equipment and patients, and remote monitoring of the elderly.
In the intelligent building sector, requirements are also increasing due to the mandatory presence of a fiber optic network in all office buildings.
The activities of an R&T graduate depend to a large extent on the type and size of the company where he or she works. They are specialized in a large company, a production unit or a research and development unit, and broader and more varied in a small company. They evolve by integrating the quality relationship with the customer and the promotion of the products and services marketed.
The historical professions of administration, installation and maintenance of telecommunications networks cover a wide range of specific jobs. To mention only the most important ones:
– Installation and maintenance of telecoms and low voltage
– Computer and office maintenance
– Administration of information systems
– Consulting and project management in information systems
– Information Systems Department
– Studies and development of telecom networks
– Production and operation of information systems
However, business processes are constantly evolving. Innovations will increase the decompartmentalization of the fields covered by digital technology, the extension of computer links in an extended enterprise logic and the virtual representation of processes.
In this perspective, the National Pedagogical Program integrates the technologies and the evolutions of the networks and the associated application environments, i.e. the connected objects (tablet, Smartphone, camera, intelligent screen?).
The R&T training allows the student an immediate professional insertion at bac+3 (professional license) while giving him the tools allowing him to apprehend the new technologies which will be born in the years after his training.
Depending on their Personal and Professional Project (PPP), students can also pursue short (professional bachelor’s degree), long (master’s degree) or dual-skilled studies.
B – Profiles and skills targeted:
The holder of a professional license in Networks and Telecommunications is qualified to work in all sectors. Thus, the activities and competencies referential lists the activities that the R&T graduate will be able to perform at the end of his/her training.For each of them, one or more competencies are mobilized.
These activities/skills are categorized into two levels:
Basic activities/skills, which correspond to the core business, required of any R&Tgraduate (core competency),
Specific activities/skills determined by the path chosen by the student during thePersonal and Professional Project (PPP).
The activities/skills have been highlighted on a double level: on the one hand, in thetechnical field, and on the other hand, in the cross-cutting field, required of any highertechnician.
Beyond his technical skills, the R&T licensee has to evolve in an open environmentwhere communication is essential to the realization of his work. He/she is thereforecapable of writing and interpreting professional documents, as well as communicatingwith his/her environment (collaborators, clients, suppliers) in both French and English.
They are also able to use collaborative tools for efficient teamwork.
The holder of the professional license in R&T is also capable of apprehending a projectin its entirety. To do this, he/she knows how to examine the technical and economicfeasibility of the project and how to implement methodological tools. He/she is able torespect specifications, deadlines, economic and environmental constraints,regulations and standards in force, the technical environment, quality, hygiene and safety.
