Course Details

Objectives : Engineering training includes a common core with scientific bases, human sciences and an engineering culture. The training is based on the expertise of professors from the industry and personalized supervision.
The ESTACA engineer training is based on an innovative pedagogy in "project mode". The objective is to constantly put into practice the knowledge acquired through concrete case studies: faced with specifications often proposed by an aeronautical engineer, automotive engineer, space engineer, naval engineer, etc., the students work in groups to answer to the problem posed as engineers in companies do. This very contextual pedagogy allows the student to be at the heart of the transport challenges of tomorrow.

Becoming an engineer for the space sector means working in the construction of launchers, spacecraft and thrusters, but also participating in the launch and operation of satellites.

The 5th year choice of specialization: transport engineering or also 2 transversal specializations: Eco mobility and Design engineering in project mode.

Degree Level (EU) : 7 - (EQC level or equivalent)

Duration and terms : 3 years (or 5 years with integrated prep)
