This programme aims to meet the high expectations of the industry, service and consulting sectors. It seeks to address the challenges of the digital and societal transition facing young engineers and respond to issues related to current organisational and technological changes.
Our engineers specialising in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are prepared to complete part of their career internationally thanks to bilingual proficiency and the ability to adapt to the various sectors of the socio-professional world. The skills they acquire will allow them to adapt to different cultures and achieve their career goals.
This degree is taught entirely in English. This five-year multidisciplinary programme combines specialisation in future-oriented sectors with a double degree. It begins with two years of integrated preparatory courses, after which students move on to a three-year engineering programme without having to sit an entrance exam.
Accredited by the CTI (French Engineering Degree Commission), the “Titre d’ingénieur’ is a nationally recognised degree equivalent to a Master’s degree and entitles the holder to pursue doctoral studies. The ECAM Engineering programme received the EUR-ACE ® (EURopean-ACcredited Engineer) Label, certifying this degree does fully meet the engineering professional requirements.

The acquisition of the knowledge, skills and attitudes required of an engineer begins during the ECAM LaSalle integrated preparatory cycle. These two years enable students to enter the ECAM Engineering cycle on a continuous assessment basis and can be completed at two training sites: in Aix-en-Provence and Lyon. The training is the same at both sites.
ECAM Engineering integrated preparatory programme
The ECAM Engineering integrated preparatory programme consists of a core curriculum of multidisciplinary courses that lay the fundamental scientific groundwork through collaborative teaching and projects.
ECAM LaSalle engineering graduates specialising in “Mechanical and Electrical Engineering” are high-level technical and scientific engineers who are trained in the fields of mechanics, mechatronics, robotics, energy, electricity and supply chain management. Sustainable development issues are integrated throughout the programme. These courses are rounded out with the acquisition of skills in management, project management, finance, marketing, entrepreneurship, innovation and the normative and regulatory knowledge they need for their activities.
This multidisciplinary training, taught entirely in English, allows future engineers to become proficient in the fields of energy, advanced mechanics, robotics, and industrial excellence while also developing their design and analysis skills. They can earn of 30 ECTS each semester.
International students can also take French language and culture courses. By the end of the programme, students will need to have mastered at least two languages: English (C1) and French (B2), in addition to their native language, if applicable.
The courses include the following:
Student-engineers spend the fifth year of the programme at an international partner university.

The Lasallian pathway at ECAM LaSalle is punctuated by two key stages in the students’ education:
These highlights offer students a space for personal reflection through a series of workshops that encourage cohesion and collective expression. These seminars are led by the school’s staff, whose aim is to support each student in all aspects of his or her development, whether personal, academic or professional.
ECAM LaSalle relies on the expertise of its international academic partners to make these study abroad opportunities possible. All of these agreements and associated conditions (number of places open and terms of admission, any additional tuition fees) are presented to engineering students when the choose their specialisation.
Internships are mandatory during the ECAM Engineering programme; they are awarded credits.
The academic schedule includes three internships:
* The engineer internship will be replaced by the Master’s Thesis performed at the partner university if the Master’s Thesis meets the criteria
Engineering is considered as one of the career fields of the future, and as demand for engineers outpaces the supply, engineers can expect to find interesting and dynamic careers in the industry of their choice. ECAM LaSalle has strong ties to industry and a reputation of excellence in engineering that our students take with them throughout their lives.
These ECAM Lasalle advantages give our students a head-start on their careers as 92% find a job within 6 months after graduating. Our international focus not only contributes to our students’ development as individuals and global actors, it also makes them more competitive in the global marketplace.
