Editorial from Lionel Gabet, Director of Teaching Implementation

Preparing highly skilled scientific and technical leaders, entrepreneurs and innovators is the CentraleSupélec objective: an exceptional ambition, shared by all École Centrale Engineering program graduates.
The CentraleSupélec teaching project continues the tradition of excellence, combining scientific and technical developments with innovation and corporate spirit.

This excellence can be found at the heart of all the programs we offer: the École Centrale Engineering program, Specialized Master’s, Master’s programs and Doctoral School. From the very beginning, the school has been involved in the scientific and economic world, maintaining a large network of active partners and worldwide universities.

 

 

The school has developed the École Centrale Engineering program to:

  • make you a highly skilled scientific and technical engineer;
  • help you to develop a leadership, entrepreneurial and innovative spirit and skills;
  • prepare you to face the world and major societal issues with a strong ability to adapt; and
  • enable you to navigate the social and multicultural environment within a company.

 

Competitive entrance exam and admission requirements

The educational program at the school requires engineering students who already have a strong work ethic and cultivate rigor, logic, abstract thinking and intellectual agility.
This is why CentraleSupélec recruitment is mainly undertaken via a competitive entrance exam based on the Preparatory Classes program.

 

 

For the École Centrale Engineering program, 390 places are open via the CentraleSupélec competitive entrance exam (350 for French students, 20 for international students in Preparatory Classes in France and 20 for international students in Preparatory Classes abroad).

This route is completed by other competitive entrance qualification rankings and exams. A total of 150 places are open for other streams, university bridging programs and specific recruitment for foreigners.

Competitive entrance exam for Preparatory Classes

Students selected from the competitive entrance exam are admitted as engineering students.

 

This competitive entrance exam is based on the Preparatory Classes in scientific Grandes Écoles. The level equates to a minimum of two years of preparation after the Baccalaureate. This preparation is generally completed in Preparatory Classes for Scientific Grandes Écoles offered in French secondary schools.

 

CentraleSupélec competitive entrance exam for foreigners

Only candidates not holding French nationality on the closure date for registration and who are completing Preparatory Classes in France may apply. Candidates from the CentraleSupélec or Institut d’Optique Graduate School international competitive entrance exams will be admitted to the 1st year as intern-students and will be given the title of student engineer if they are accepted for the 2nd year. Intern-students cannot repeat a year of study, except in exceptional circumstances.

Places offered:

  • 18 places in the Mathematics and Physics program
  • 6 places in the Physics and Chemistry program
  • 8 places in the Physical and Engineering Sciences program

 

International competitive entrance exam: Only candidates not holding French nationality on the closure date for registration who have not been in higher education in France, and who are put forward by an institution in liaison with the French Embassy, in the Ivory Coast, Gabon, Lebanon, Morocco or Tunisia, may register.

Candidates cannot register for both the international program and another access route for the Écoles Centrales, CentraleSupélec or Institut d’Optique Graduate School. Candidates registered in the international program or École Centrale Casablanca competitive entrance exam cannot obtain admission to the École Centrale via the CNC of Morocco.

 

International program

Admission to the international program is open to foreign candidates who have completed 2-3 years of university studies after obtaining a foreign equivalent to the French Baccalaureate and have not pursued higher education in France. Seventy-five places are open for this type of recruitment. It is via this program that intern-students may pursue a T.I.M.E. double degree or a double degree with universities of developing countries

 

University stream

Who can apply?

  • Economic Sciences degree graduates wishing to pursue engineering may be accepted to the first year of one of the five Écoles Centrales.
  • Holders of foreign equivalent degrees may apply under the same conditions.

These routes of access to the École Centrale Group aim to accept candidates who have completed a rounded university program, with rare exceptions granted by the jury (e.g.: long-term illness). Consequently, candidates who have completed Preparatory Classes in Grandes Écoles will not be selected except in exceptional circumstances reviewed by the jury.

CASTIng = École Centrale Competitive Entrance Examination for an Engineering Title

To simplify access procedures for all Economic Sciences degree students, a single examination series in one location is planned. Any graduate with a non-specialized scientific degree may present themselves to the CASTing, École Centrale Competitive Entrance Examination for an Engineering Title.

3rd year: in-depth and professionalization program

In order to satisfy the expectations and requirements of future employers as fully as possible, we have completely overhauled the content and objectives of the final academic year.

Having received much positive feedback from companies, we have successfully retained and reinforced our strengths while integrating major social evolutions to the professional program for this final year of the École Centrale Engineering program.

This last year of the École Centrale Engineering program enables students to:

  • study disciplines and methods in depth, develop skills from foundations learned in the 1st and 2nd years, and to put these into practice in internships, projects and case studies;
  • operationally prepare for their first professional position; and
  • receive the initial boost that will enable them to succeed throughout their career.

 

To satisfy this triple objective, the 3rd year is structured around:
 

  • Options to:
    • learn a scientific or technical field in more depth and provide useful skills to succeed in the downstream area of the option: industries and possibly specific tools/methods for practicing a subject in one of these industries;
    • place the student in situations close to the business world to enable them to affirm their technical and leadership/entrepreneurial/innovative skills.
  • Streams that:
    • help to give the student professional skills that will enable them to succeed in their future jobs by teaching them the necessary tools and methodologies;
    • place them in situations that are close to the business world to enable them to affirm their professional and innovational/entrepreneurial/leadership skills.

Each student independently chooses from a matrix organization, one stream (10 weeks) and one option (23 weeks) and thus completes a double program.

To satisfy this triple objective, the 3rd year is structured around:

  • One week on company operations and management
  • Organizational Human Sciences conferences
  • Exposure to companies through sponsorship programs
  • Teaching with close links to research laboratories
  • The opportunity to complete a research master’s in a double program
  • A professionalizing end-of-studies internship that formalizes the student’s study evolution

Internships

Operator internship

The “operator internship” has always been a tradition at the École Centrale Paris and in the French industrial world.

This is a first experience of the non-specialized Engineering program that is completed within a company, over six consecutive weeks in summer.

The educational objectives of this internship have changed over time, from “worker” internship to “operator” internship to adapt to industrial evolutions:

  • Quality initiative
  • Multi-skilled teams
  • Specific skills
  • Increasing automation
  • Globalization, etc.

The school pays particular attention to these aspects during the preparation for internships (information provided to the whole year group and individual interviews), as well as during “experience feedback” days after the internship.
A selection of updated documents on production, organization and political and economic contexts is made available to students. The school wishes to facilitate opportunities for students in fields other than manufacturing, such as maintenance and logistics. Teaching evolutions take into consideration the new laws concerning internships and their supervision (August 2006) as well as the career direction needs of students and “experience feedback”.
This enables students to apply what they have learned in 1st year courses and above all experience the technical, organizational and human complexities of the jobs that are central to the production process.

 

International internship

Each student completes a minimum six-month internship, preferably in Semester 8:

Academic exchange

With a partner school, in a field linked to the engineering program: Erasmus program (Europe), BCI program (Quebec universities), ESCP-Europe London, other programs: Australia, Brazil, China, United States, etc.

 

Laboratory internship

With an academic partner or company: students can take advantage of the research networks forged by the school’s instructor-researchers all over the world.

 

Company internship

The school extends its network of international companies to students.

 

End-of-studies internship

A CentraleSupélec student in the École Centrale Engineering program will finish the program with a six-month external internship (in a company, laboratory, consultancy firm, etc.).

This internship is the completion of the student’s engineering studies. Their internship objectives, supervision and duration all make this an exceptional learning experience, enabling the student to make the transition between student and professional life under the best conditions. Several years of experience have demonstrated the benefits of this internship, as students gain an in-depth understanding of the life of the company.

Furthermore, through its format, this internship is different from both national and international traditional internships in two ways:

  • By its length, which enables students to take up a position as an engineer with responsibility for a project. This is a condition highly valued by companies.
  • By its complementarity of supervision (options, streams, companies) and coaching support, enabling students to quickly integrate and optimize their performance in their project.

Over the course of the end-of-studies internship, the student must demonstrate the following qualities:

  • Ability to integrate within the company and adapt to the world of work
  • Ability to achieve concrete results to the company aligned with the objectives of the option and stream they have studied
  • Ability to evaluate their performance in terms of the teaching received at the school

These qualities will be assessed through three evaluations: intermediate activity reports, a final internship report and a presentation of the internship before a jury.

 

Intermediate activity reports

These are written during the internship and submitted to instructors (or coaches) of the student’s option and stream. A total of four will be submitted, according to a set agenda: June 30, July 30 or August 30, September 30 and October 30.
The objective is to be able to assess the student’s situation with regards the working environment and the internship objectives defined together with the company, aligned with their options and stream.
These intermediary reports are a way for the company tutor, the school and the student as he or she summarizes their internship activities, to monitor progress. They can therefore serve as an early warning signal in the event an internship is not progressing well.
Detailed information concerning these activity reports is available for students to read on the student website (www.etudes.ecp.fr).
These reports are required towards validation of streams.

Core program projects

The École Centrale Engineering program enables students to acquire and develop the ability to innovate, successfully lead change, and to address complex and interdisciplinary problems.
One of the main objectives is to place students in a concrete “action” situation in which they can successfully apply what they have learned. Students develop these qualities through projects, of which they must complete several throughout their academic program:

  • An Issues project (1st year)
  • An Innovation or Association project (2nd year)
  • An Option project (3rd year)

Each of these projects covers the following dimensions:

  • A client, either external (a “company” in the broad sense) or internal to the school (a research laboratory, a school department, etc.)
  • A relevant issue, requiring significant personal investment from students, with precise objectives and submissions instilling a culture of results in students
  • A multidisciplinary approach: representative of the reality of the professional world and demonstrating the links between different scientific and technical dimensions, but also economic, social, human, environmental legal and cultural dimensions
  • Work in teams: students can adopt various roles across projects, and teams can extend to students from other programs (design, business, etc.)
  • A combined acquisition of knowledge/know-how/soft skills
  • Possibilities for developing creativity and innovation
  • Coaching from supervisors
  • Evaluation by a professional, rigorous jury to assess student progress

With this way of working, students gain an understanding of the complexity or working in teams and creating value together.

VISUEL A8-A

 

Issues projects in the 1st year

From the beginning of the 1st year, student engineers begin a cycle of inaugural conferences on critical issues of the 21st century.

PHOTO A8.B

 

7 major themes are addressed

  • Energy: particularly price inflation and scarcity of fossil fuels
  • Environment: from the perspective, among others, of environmental balances
  • Health and biotechnology: the engineer at the heart of life sciences and health systems issues
  • Information and knowledge: the impact of information technologies and communication on the company and its organization
  • Community development: sustainable building; sustainable development is an essential component in construction, especially given new environmental standards
  • Transport and Mobility: globalization of trade and acceleration of modes of transport engender increasing demand for mobility
  • Economic change: “financialization” of economies, delocalization, fair trade, etc.
     

Following this first cycle of conferences, students choose one of the issues to study in more depth through:

  • dedicated conferences,
  • company visits,
  • a bibliographic study at the beginning of the project,
  • completion of a project proposed by a company.

 

The core objective of the Issues activity

To enable students to invest in their future as an engineer by addressing the major challenges of the 21st century. An integral part of shaping responsible and socially invested engineers, this activity is also their first experience of work in project mode, working in teams, developing a transversal approach to technical, economic, marketing and other problems and all in direct contact with companies.

Director
Franck Richecoeur – franck.richecoeur@centralesupelec.fr

The Issues project

  • Working in project mode to produce a tangible result in response to client demand
  • Working in teams
  • Adopting a structured approach to resolving problems and project management

 

Innovation projects

The 2nd year projects are compulsory learning activities that are completed in teams. These equate to 360 hours of work per student, divided into three segments of 120 hours, one in Semester 7, two in Semester 8, and divided into Association projects and Innovation projects proposed by teaching departments.
A written report, oral presentation and end-of-semester grade contribute to the assessment of the project. Each teaching department will choose an exemplary project to present publicly at the Innovation Prize awards event.

PHOTO A8.C

The Innovation project helps student engineers to develop their innovation skills:

  • Through work experience in an engineering position to:
    • produce scientific knowledge (research),
    • develop products and techniques (development),
    • design products, services or organizations (design), or
    • implement structures or events (organization);
  • Through experience of work in project-mode to:
    • acquire autonomy in the global vision of a project and programming skills,
    • develop practical skills through concrete developments (prototypes, scientific results, models, events) and real relationships,
    • develop leadership and promote their ideas;
  • Through positioning and an innovative approach driven by ambition and a disciplinary openness requiring students to:
    • go beyond initial hypotheses to address issues inherent to the project;
    • demonstrate creativity and be motivated to change the system;
    • confront their ideas, drawing on knowledge and experience.

Projects are assessed on:

  • the rigor of the approach adopted in terms of project management, problem solving and exploration,
  • the quality of all submissions: the validity of results, their robustness and novelty in their field,
  • their interest and impact for the client (industrial or research) demonstrated by a file of proven value created for the client.

NEW BIZ FACTORY

The NewBiz Factory is an experimental program for students in their 2nd year, in association with companies, which was launched in 2016 in partnership with Oresys.

 

Benefits for students

  • A program with the objective of diffusing a culture of entrepreneurship among students
  • A new type of “company” project for students that enables them to experiment working in mixed teams (students engineers / students in the Centrale ESSEC Entrepreneurs stream) in start-up mode

Advantages for companies

  • Injects a culture of entrepreneurship in company employees
  • Utilizes methods employed by start-ups
  • Analyzes / assesses / promotes a portfolio of innovations through student collaboration

Submissions

  • Market analysis
  • Positioning
  • Design breakdown
  • Competition study
  • Link with other technologies
  • Maturity index
  • Business model
  • Recommendations to the company
  • and more

 

Association projects
 

Some association projects have precise criteria that align with the school’s educational mission, and are validated as part of the 2nd year program.

Project teams are supervised by instructors or professionals, depending on the nature of the project, and are assessed and given a grade that contributes to their overall grade. Students are able to earn ECTS credits with this project.

This assessment is based on the quality of learning demonstrated, especially in how the student masters engineering methods and tools, ability to integrate within an organization, participating in its evolution, and ability to address economic and professional issues.

Cultural openness, the ability to seek external skills and demonstrate them, and respect of societal values and CentraleSupélec values, are also taken into account in the assessment.

Over the course of these large-scale projects, students work on projects they would face in companies. They work like a small company: objectives, human and financial resources, budget balance, meeting deadlines, contacts with suppliers, quality initiative, teamwork, risk analysis, crisis management, civil and criminal liability, etc. These provide students with complementary experiences beyond engineering scientific and technical skills.

Each year, between 10 and 15 projects completed by 100 to 120 students in teams of three to 20 people, with budgets ranging from €20,000 to more than €200,000, are validated in the course of the program.

Associative projects

Châtenay-Malabry campus is an educational environment and associative life participates, alongside other teaching activities in the École Centrale Engineering program, in acquiring interpersonal skills. Students adopt significant responsibility in the associations and exercise their potential in concrete situations, discover their talents and passions and test their commitment and contribution over time.
Through their commitment to associative life, students live an amazing human, personal and shared adventure, developing qualities they will need later on in managing teams.

Some examples of associative projects:

 

Option program projects

As the last step of this professionalization program, every 3rd year option offers students the chance to complete an Option project in their chosen field.

This project is completed from October through March, alongside science and technical courses, with the objective of successfully completing a technical or technical-economic study. Subjects are proposed by partners of the school, by instructor-researchers or by students themselves. Students are assessed on the quality of submissions to the company. Each project is supported by teaching resources, methodological resources for the organization and scientific and technical resources on the chosen subject.

This project, completed over approximately 100 hours, requires the student to draw on all the knowledge and skills they have gained, both scientific and behavioral, during their studies.

Double degrees, a complementary program

The school gives you a wide choice of double degrees that complement your generalized engineer program, enabling you to understand issues and themes on various levels of analysis or to specialize in a chosen field.
These double degree programs enable you to obtain two separate degrees.

Guillemette Breysse, Director of Double Degree Agreements, presents the advantages of this dual program.
