Introduction
Industrial engineers can be involved at every stage in the life of a product or service: design, production, maintenance, recycling, or recovery. Their broad scientific and technical knowledge allows them to work on multidisciplinary problems, and to coordinate activities carried out by participants, whether they are from within or outside the company, as well as in an international context. They are also involved in developing the company’s operational processes, whether in terms of organization or technical procedures, in order to optimize its overall performance. They provide innovative solutions that meet the company’s economic objectives, with a view to driving progress by integrating an environmentally and socially responsible approach. Depending on their career guidance choices, they can practice their trade in any industrial or service sector.
Possible Options
The options in the industrial engineering academic path are divided into 3 sub-families:
- Ecological transition and sustainable development: Quality, Safety & Environment, Energy Performance
- Digital transition: Prototyping, Robotics
- Industrial engineering and innovation: Business unit manager, Industrial performance optimization, Industry 5.0, Entrepreneurship, Innovation.
Students can choose two options among those offered on each campus.
CESI offers a Master’s Degree in Engineering, accessible to French students and international students wishing to continue their engineering studies in France. You will get a 3-year high-level training, provided only in English, and accredited by the Commission of Engineering Certifications (CTI - Commission des titers d'ingénieur). To achieve a specialization and stand out, choose an option in year 3.
In-Company Missions
Study and design of new products / Manufacturing optimization through statistical control of processes / Development of test benches / Implementation of ISO certification / Relocation of production resources / Setting up a waste recovery unit / Optimization of a plant’s energy consumption
What will students be able to do in a Company?
- Qualified technicians at the end of the 1st year: they master the technical aspects of their missions and know how to apply them independently.
- Assistant engineers at the end of the 2nd year: they are able to handle problems requiring new solutions, and to supervise teams in the field.
- Junior engineers at the end of the study program: they are autonomous to handle entire subjects by integrating technical, economic, organizational, and human dimensions.
The Assessment System
The assessment system is based on continuous monitoring. Subjects are divided into different Learning Units; Each unit corresponds to a given number of ECTS credits. One year corresponds to 60 credits. Students must have passed all their learning units and obtained their ECTS credits to progress to the next academic year.
The conditions for being awarded a degree are as follows:
- Passing all Learning Units, therefore having obtained 300 credits over the five years of training
- Obtaining a B2 level certification in English
- Doing a 20-week mobility abroad.
CESI’s Master of Engineering program is a study program involving 3 years of study on campus, which leads to an engineering degree (level 7 - Master).
Choosing CESI’s International Programs
As an international, French-speaking, and English-speaking student, you have the opportunity to study different CESI programs in France, depending on your education level, ranging from undergraduate degrees to post-graduate degrees, or equivalent degrees obtained abroad:
- ‘Grande École’ Program (Master’s Degree)
- Master’s Degree in Engineering
- Master’s Degree in Computer Science
- Executive Post-Graduate Programs®
Some of our programs offer a so-called preparatory year, enabling you to improve your academic or language skills and, thus, making it easier for you to continue your studies: Engineering Degree Pathway.
Because welcoming you is one of CESI’s commitments, our teams will support you in preparing for your arrival and taking care of all administrative procedures, whatever program you choose.
The international aspect is at the heart of our strategic and educational plan. What’s the goal? To offer you a truly multicultural experience, an opportunity to broaden your horizons, and a window to the job market in France and abroad. All CESI training programs meet European and international standards, particularly by splitting the academic year into semesters or delivering ECTS credits. Moreover, CESI holds the ERASMUS+ charter and works with many international players such as Campus France or the CDIO Initiative.
