ENGINEERING EDUCATION

In the French tradition, engineering education :

– A very competitive selection process of students

– Basic scientific courses (maths, physics, chemistry, …) during year 1 and 2

– Engineering courses during year (2), 3 and 4 (when it exists)

– Economics and management courses

– Strong links with industry
