UFR PhITEMPhysics, Engineering, Earth, Environment, Mechanics

The name of this platform already gives an idea of the scope of the topics that can be covered in a wide range of knowledge levels, from simple, pedagogical set-ups to understand a physical phenomenon and its application (laws of electromagnetism, rectifying a voltage, basic operation of a household appliance motor... ) to more sophisticated studies of signal processing or industrial equipment modeling and simulations.

Until now, our proposals in these fields have been numerous, but highly decentralized across several departments. Today, they have been updated and modernized, thanks in particular to the development of IT resources. By grouping together into a platform, we are able to rationalize our approach by synergizing the different skills of our staff, as well as our investments.

Other Grenoble sites (Grenoble INP, IUT, etc.) have outstanding facilities, for example in medium- and high-power electrical engineering or electronics. The aim here is not to compete with other sites, but to complement the services offered to students in the various courses of study, either as part of their initial training, continuing education or project work.

The development of this platform takes on its full meaning in closer collaboration with these other teaching centers (IUT, Polytech, Grenoble INP), by opening up to more university courses, particularly within the framework of the creation of new DESS or multi-disciplinary courses, and by creating a partnership with the industrial world through internships and projects.

The resources made available are geared to a number of pedagogical orientations: experiments to illustrate a lesson, setting up a manipulation to explain a physical phenomenon, studying models and simulations, for example in electrical engineering, and in a much more general way, learning the scientific approach through experimentation, from the development of a project to its realization.
