Employment data
ISAE-ENSMA offers a training that matches company expectations. Whereas a student looks for a training which helps him/her find a suitable position right after university, companies are interested in young engineers with a strong engineering background, which gives flexibility to career pathing, provides state-of-the-art competences to the organization while fostering innovation.
ISAE-ENSMA engineers have advanced knowledge in mechanics and energetics, with emphasis on:
– aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, heat transfer, energetics (combustion and detonics) ;
– structure and materials ;
– computer science (programming and systems design).
The first two years of studies are dedicated to a core training both in science (mathematics and physics) and in the engineering sciences mentioned above. The third and final year of studies is devoted to gaining practical experience though a 3 to 4-month internship in industry and to acquiring advanced skills in one of the three specific areas previously delineated.
Branches of activity
In line with ISAE-ENSMA’s domains of expertise, ISAE-ENSMA engineers pursue careers in priority in the aeronautical and aerospace industries (more than 50% of a class), the car industry, energies and environment sector, defense and security field. Software companies, the machine tool and metallurgy sectors and to a lesser extent banks and insurance companies also recruit ISAE-ENSMA engineers.
Nature of the activity
At the beginning of their careers, more than 80% of ISAE-ENSMA engineers work in engineering design or, research and development. They may also work in a production department, and less than 3% as sales engineers.
