Program Overview

The Master’s in Réseaux Embarqués et Objets Connectés (REOC) is designed to train high-level engineers and network/systems architects specialized in telecommunications, networks, embedded systems, and connected devices (IoT).

The program focuses on the deep integration between communication networks and embedded software/hardware architectures. Students acquire advanced competencies to design, deploy, and secure complex distributed systems, real-time networks, and industrial internet of things (IIoT) infrastructures, meeting the stringent reliability and performance demands of modern high-tech industries.

Key Academic Content & Specializations

The curriculum combines rigorous theoretical training with practical implementation across core domains:

  • Real-time systems and scheduling, real-time languages, and Arduino IoT projects,
  • Fieldbuses, Real-Time Ethernet, and wireless protocols for industrial IoT (IIoT) and Cellular IoT architectures,
  • Critical Embedded Systems (dependability, specialized languages, validation techniques, fault-tolerant buses),
  • Big Data, Cloud infrastructure, and edge computing & networking.

PRACTICAL PROJECTS & WORK-STUDY OPTIONS

The program places a strong emphasis on hands-on application through dedicated technical projects (such as REOC system analysis, IoT development projects, and infrastructure projects) culminating in a substantial end-of-studies professional internship or project during the final semester.

Professional Opportunities & Career Paths

Graduates step into strategic engineering and architecture roles across dynamic industrial sectors:

  • Telecommunications & Network Infrastructure,
  • Embedded Systems & Industrial Computing,
  • Aerospace, Automotive, Transport, and Smart Manufacturing (Industry of the Future),
  • IoT Solutions, Smart Cities, and Cloud/Edge Services.

Typical roles include Embedded Systems / IoT Architect, Network and Telecommunications Engineer, Real-Time Software Developer, and R&D Project Manager in high-tech industries.

Pathway to Engineering Excellence

Backed by the collaborative academic strength of Toulouse INP-ENSEEIHT, Université of Toulouse, ISAE-SUPAERO, INSA, and ENAC, the REOC Master’s program delivers elite, multidisciplinary training tailored to the fast-evolving demands of connected systems and industrial digital transformation.
