WORD FROMTHE DIRECTOR/////////////

Now more than ever, support for innovation and proximity to companies are at the heart of our mission.

In this context, enit is asked about its competen-cies, specifically its ability to anticipate develop-ments and drive its actions towards progress. Aware of the stakes, the logic of the development of enit has consisted not only of preparing its future engi-neers in line with the needs of companies, but also of taking into account permanently and support-ing the reality of its economic environment. There-fore, in addition to the ability of our establishment to put in place new training corresponding to new professions, enit is planning to expand and adapt research and technology transfer to these new re-quirements.

The creation of technical resource centres in our areas of expertise demonstrates the willingness to change our school to increase its performance and its suitability to meet the needs of companies.

Evidently, one of the keys to the success of the enit strategy is strengthening its academic alliances and expanding its industrial partnerships in order to enable us to “DeSiGn tHe FUtURe tOGetHeR”.

Expertise in the resource and skill centres (RSC)

The resource and skill centres provide part-ners with the means to test and characterise materials and structures in addition to soft-ware development resources and skills.

QUOTE FROM A RESEARCH PROFESSOR

VALÉRie nASSiet - UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR AT ENIT

“My work as part of the Interfaces and Functional Materials team in the PEL relates to the physicochemical and mechanical per-formance of adhesive interfaces in multilayer systems (bonded assemblies, coatings, functional polymers, micro-structured and nano-structured composites, power electronics packaging) and focuses on the durability of these interfaces.

The majority of the scientific problems addressed through my research have their origin or pur-pose in the industrial world and are conducted through collabo-rative projects to address scien-tific and technological issues on a national and international level. This anchoring in social reality enables me to convey the experience I have acquired to students at ENIT during different stages of their studies (courses, intern-ships, projects). It also helps provide them with high-performance and scalable tools grouped in unique technology platforms.

My various missions at ENIT allow me to implement a synergy be-tween research, development and training on a day-to-day level to contribute to the development of the country and the profes-sional integration of an ENIT engineer”.

QUOTE FROM INDUSTRY

JeAn-JACQUeS LiBOURnet - HRD AT ENTREPOSE (VINCI GROUP). The ENIT business forum is the only one in which it participates in France. “The right people in the right jobs at the right time. ENIT prepares students for winning management with general, contemporary training, ideal for combining know-how and self-management skills. This is why its recruitment service is now working in Bigorre. These are young people prepared for an operational context. We are challenged by these people on the ground and their interesting courses”.

6 STRATEGY


THE EUROPEAN PROJECT SEMESTER////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////This original programme (EPS) for engineering students includes 16 universities in 13 countries across Europe. For one semester, students will follow courses and carry out group work on industrial projects entirely in English. The only school in France to offer this, ENIT plays host to between 15 and 20 students each semes-ter and sends some of its students to the institutions in the network.

SEMESTER STUDYING ABROAD//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////ENIT strongly advises its students to spend a semes-ter studying at a higher education institution abroad. The courses taken are then validated as an integral part of their course. To this end, in 2012 the college put in place its own mechanism providing financial as-sistance for international student mobility. In parallel with this, each year the college welcomes a number of foreign students for a semester, particularly within the framework of the collaboration programmes with Latin America (FITEC programmes).

THE DOUBLE DIPLOMA/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////In order to give their career path international reach, ENIT students have the option to obtain a double di-

ploma by completing part of their course in one of five partner institutions abroad. ENIT has also established an additional agreement with a Canadian institution enabling French students to obtain a Canadian Mas-ter’s in Professional Engineering.

THE INTERNSHIPS AND THE END OF STUDY PROJECTS////ENIT enables its students to complete their internships in the second and third years and their End of Study Projects abroad. Interns who try an international ad-venture regularly go to England, Germany, Spain, South Africa, Indonesia, Australia, the United States and the Netherlands.

MOBILITY AMONG RESEARCH PROFESSORS/////////////The research professors in the Production Engineering Laboratory carry out teaching or research assignments in the foreign partner institutions and collaborate on international research programmes. The college also welcomes numerous foreign researchers who come to learn within the PEL or to participate in teaching.

INTERNATIONALISM IN THE SCHOOL////////////////////Aware of the global challenges every engineer now faces, ENIT promotes international mobility amongst its students and researchers. It anchors its policy of international cooperation through the signing of cooperation agreements. It has established partnerships with 84 universities in 28 countries.

8 INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY

INTERNATIONAL MOBILITY//////////////////////

“Thanks to ENIT, I was able to complete an EPS in Valencia, Spain, and a double diploma at the University of Cuyo Mendoza in Argentina. These two experiences very much complimented one another. Integrating an EPS programme enabled me to improve my English and develop skills such as project management. In turn, the year I spent in Argentina to complete my double diploma allowed me to live totally immersed in a foreign country. While there I studied a course which focused on industrial engineering and completed an internship with a large vineyard where I was able to discover new working methods. Strengthened by these experiences, I now speak three languages fluently and want to become a business engineer. International study is a real opportunity for a student and a real advantage for the future!”
