Programme

 

ECAM LaSalle engineering graduates specialising in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering are high-level technical and scientific engineers who are trained in the fields of energy and supply chain management. Sustainable development issues are integrated throughout the program. These courses are rounded out with the acquisition of skills in management, project management, entrepreneurship, innovation and the normative and regulatory knowledge they need for their activities. Students must choose a pathway that will form an integral part of their curriculum as a student-engineer. The engineer internship may take place in France or abroad, and will be subject to a written report and an oral presentation.

 

Pathways:

Sustainable Energy and Environmental Engineering :

This specialisation provides an understanding of the energy transition challenge. It pertains to the design and development of various strategies aimed at increasing energy efficiency and reducing costs. The specialisation covers the design of renewable energy facilities and the development of energy optimisation models for systems and machines. The aim is to better manage energy production and distribution. This specialisation enables students to analyse the effect of energy practices on the environment and the local economy, as well as the crucial issue of equipment maintenance and recycling.

Industrial Engineering and Supply Chain Management :

One of the current challenges is the management of industrial organisation, from production costs to the release of products on the market. To remain competitive, the industry of the future responds to this challenge by innovating through processes, technology, methods and supply chains to meet customers’ needs. The industrialisation project enables you to learn how to design and create the factory 4.0 factory of the future.

Process
Application process step by step

Step 1: via the admission platform, you will need to submit an application form and upload all the requested documents.

 

Step 2: first of all you will receive an email inviting you to take an online scientific test. The test is a multiple-choice and it is divided into two sections: mathematics and physics (mechanics and electricity).

For the Math section, applicants will be examined on the following topics: functions, trigonometry, algebra, logarithmic and exponential functions, integration, numerical solution of equations, complex numbers.

If your results meet the requirements, you will be invited to take the online pre-recorded interview. You will be given a time limit to answer orally a few questions regarding yourself and your motivation to join our program. Your answers will be recorded and then reviewed by the Admission Board members.

 

Step 3: once the application process is completed, your application will be assessed on a rolling basis by the Admission Committee.

An Admission Board will take place on a monthly basis, started from January 2025.
