On the Aix-Marseille-Provence Campus, ISMIN 3A students are finishing the year studiously with two visits focused on electronics and embedded systems.
On Monday, December 8, they visited the Domaine du Merle with the aim of launching innovation projects centered on environmental monitoring devices, led by Sylvain Blayac, head of the ID-Fab space.
The Domaine du Merle agricultural estate, located in Salon-de-Provence — the only Institut Agro Montpellier site in the Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur region — is an educational and experimental platform specializing in transhumant sheep farming, water management, and the production of AOP Crau hay. It is part of the agro-ecological transition serving students, researchers, and socio-economic stakeholders such as companies, farmers, and local authorities. .
ISMIN students were able to discover the challenges of irrigation in agriculture and gravity irrigation techniques. The field visit was led by Gilles Belaud and François Charron.
On Thursday, December 11, students from the “embedded systems” major, accompanied by teacher-researcher Olivier Potin, visited Systerel. Annabelle Leroy introduced them to this company, which designs, develops, and implements innovative solutions in the field of real-time critical or safety systems. The programme for this afternoon in Aix included a tour of the premises and the laboratory, as well as technical workshops. And indeed, the ISMIN students were there to practice! They worked on two technical topics:
- The embedded software development cycle” led by Rémy Laffont, head of the secure applications department
- Safety, security, and the link with formal methods” led by Julien Niguez, engineer.
Their day ended with a presentation by Théo Thilloux, an ISMIN alumnus and engineer at Linde Material Handling, who presented his current project within the Real-Time Systems department.
