Engineering Program with Maritime Engineering for Transport and Energy Specialization/Track at ENSTA Paris
Founded in 1970, ENSTA who is also a founding member of ParisTech - hence ENSTA ParisTech - is one of the most prestigious and selective French engineering institutes called grande école. ParisTech (Paris Institute of Technology) is a federation of higher education engineering and business schools around Paris.
ENSTA ParisTech offers its students a broad education in engineering with the aim of enabling them to design, carry out and manage complex technical projects, while meeting economic constraints with international focus. The School provides high quality scientific and technological training, and keeps pace with changes in the cutting edge technologies in various fields.
ENSTA was created in 1970 through the merger of the École Nationale Supérieure du Génie Maritime and École Polytechnique, including a hydrographic engineering college. With 480 students and 100 foreign students (25% with30 nationalities), ENSTA ParisTech has more than 70 agreements with universities from 27 different countries including 18 double-degrees agreements in Europe, the Americas and Asia.
Academic Programs
Maritime Engineering for Transport and Energy
- First Year Course: The first-year engineering course allows students to acquire basic knowledge in engineering sciences. For apprenticeships, they are done under the student status, with the fellow first year students.
- Second Year: At the start of the second year, each student chooses a major, which is a coherent set of scientific and technical lessons to best prepare the student for the choices for the 3rd year.
- Third Year: The third year is devoted to specialization classes geared towards industrial applications and organized into tracks. The emphasis is on the one hand on the deepening of scientific skills on topics chosen by the student, and on the other hand on the acquisition of knowledge specific to a given profession. An optional one-week study trip allows a concrete approach to this profession.
- Maritime Engineering for Transport and Energy Track: The objective of this course is to train engineers capable of ensuring the design, development and management of all types of structures and systems at sea for the major areas of maritime transport and the exploitation of energy resources, particularly renewable ones.
