 The
Engineering School at the University of Rennes associates
a higher teaching combined with research so that students
who have had 2 to 4 years experience after their A level
can benefit from a scientific and technological teaching
which is good one since it is adapted to the needs of
the industrial world.
3 different potential
careers paths :such is the flexible study given.
Over 3 years,
the ENSSAT teaches engineers in 3 disciplines of new
technologies :
- The first one is electronics
and industrial informatics. It teaches engineers specialized
in electronics who posses the methodologies and the
conception techniques of real time systems. The integrated
systems and circuits as well as the techniques of
traitement and transmission of pieces of information.
- The second one is a software
and informatique system. It teaches engineers spealized
in informatics who posses the technology of systems
and networks, the methodologies and the tools of the
software programm genius and the system of informatics.
- The third one is optronics.
It teaches engineers with developped scientific and
technological skills in conception and realization
of optronic systems.Those two main sectors of activity
are optical telecommunications and optical systems
for the industry
Studies organisation
with a solid scientific basis, a teaching of methodologies
for developing a project, an opening of application
sectors :such as the main branches of the ENSSAT training.
A third of the
teaching is devoted to general studies, and the other
two specialities :
 Applied
sciences and technologies, and an opening onto application
sectors. The practical know-how is organized around
practical teaching, projects and training periods.
The ENSSAT divides the studies into semesters, conforming
to the schedule of European studies. The total of the
studies spread over a five semester period of 450 hours,
which gives a weekly tuition of thirty hours for students.
The teachings are grouped together in competence units.
The assessments are organized according to the principal
of continuous control of knowledge, with four sessions
per year.
The emphasis is on the language's teaching so that students
are open to an international dimension. English is given
priority in the first year and the school gives training
for the TOEIC( Test of English for International Communication).
During the second year, a second language is taught
amongst a variety of subjects.
Very gifted sportsmen
can be allowed suitable time table arrangement to be
able to conciliate their teaching along their sport
activities.
The third year is
composed of two parts :teachings and work experience
in engineering towards the end of the study period.
The prospects
The high technological
profile of the ENSSAT engineers has revealed a correlation
requirements. A regular follow up of the professional
placement of our successful students allows us to draw
several interesting conclusions :
- Diversified sector of study
:electronics, optical telecommunications, networks,
optronics, industrial informatics and microelectronics…
- A large diversity of functions
:conception and development, research and development,
expert carriage, academic research …
Different firms to take people in :large international
groups, start-ups, service companies…
- Jobs all over France but also
abroad with employment found inless than two mounths
The technopole
of telecommunications
L'ENSSAT benefits from an industrial environment which
works closely along with the biggest firm in the telecommunication
field, a group of " PME PMI ". They are specialized
in the telecommunication sector and in informatics,
electronics and optics.
At the front line of innovation, the region of Lannion
knows how to create a perfect synergy between higher
teaching, research centres and local companies .
This close partnership between the ENSSAT and the
industrial world leads to :
- training periods with more
than 800 proposals each year for 110 engineers in
their last year.
- professional placement :20%
of students coming out of the ENSSAT find a job on
the technopole research projects.
International
relations
The ENSSAT is a member of several European exchange
programmes :
- At the end of their studies
20% of engineering students have their training period
in firms overseas, among those companies we can find
Nokia in Finland, Daimler Benz in Germany and also
Dicon in the USA and some in research laboratories
such as the Stanford Research Institute in California
and ATR in Japan.
- Under certain conditions some
students spend the whole third year abroad.
- The school's researchers keep
an alumni network throughout the wole world. Researchers
and teachers are constantly organized and kept up-to-date
of recent developments.
