Presentation
The graduate training of an Engineer in Automation lasts for 5 years (3 years at the École Polytechnique for students coming from outside and having gone through the preparatory program for the grandes écoles). The automation area has multidisciplinary applications.
Graduates will have proven abilities in modeling, identification, simulation, control, design and manufacture of automation devices for all types of industrial processes (electrical, aeronautical, chemical, petrochemical, steel, robotics, …). The graduate engineer must also be able to adapt to recent major developments in the field of automation and become familiar with the latest developments in relevant software.
His thorough knowledge in the fundamental subjects as well as technical and/or scientific skills also allow him to serve in industry and pursue scientific research if he wishes.
Curriculum Content:
The curriculum program of the second cycle leads to the Diplome d’ingénieur d’Etat in Automation.
