TB1 - INTEGRATED APPLICATIONS

Our students are increasingly being faced in their different missions by tasks of extracting, managing, transforming, summarising and publishing information from software programmes, data bases and web sites to be transferred to other computer based media.

The aim of this course is to train engineering students in the extraction of information, the structuring and simple exploitation of this information and its diffusion, using simple tools.

The notions of integrity, quality and security of information will be at the core of the intended learning outcomes, along with the simple and solid manipulation of methods and tools for the application of these processes.

The first unit deals with the exchange of information between applications and the simple processing of this information (pre- or post- processing). The second unit enables students to apply the notions studied in the first unit to 2 varied case studies.

Unit 1: Exchange and simple processing of information.

• Overview of different information exchange formats
• Advanced use of spreadsheets
• Use of simple programming languages (VBA, OO Object, JavaScript, PHP, …) for the exchange and simple processing of information between applications.

Unit 2: Case studies

• Analysis and processing of tidal height data from sensors
• Analysis and processing of GSM network load data
• Implementation of decision support tools

This course is a predecessor to all courses calling for the processing of information sets (pre- or post- processing) with simple engineering tools.
