The École nationale d'ingénieurs de Saint-Étienne (ÉNISE; National Engineering School of Saint-Étienne) is a French grande école which offers five-year course in engineering after the baccalauréat, in the fields of Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and .

The school delivers the Diplôme d'Ingénieur in Mechanical Engineering and in Civil Engineering.[2]

ÉNISE is part of the "Groupe des Ecoles Nationales d'Ingénieurs", Groupe ENI - French for the Group of National Engineering Schools, which is a network of 4 French public engineering schools.[3]

It is also part of the University of Lyon, a state-run Higher Education & Research (HE & R) consortium - a federation of 18 Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) that federate their doctoral schools under one doctoral college representing a total of 120 000 students, 11 500 research lecturers and 230 public laboratories.[4]

Introduction[]

History[]

ÉNISE was established in 1961 with the Mechanical Engineering major. The Civil Engineering major was introduced in 1971. At that time it was a 4-year program but since 1987 students follow a 5-year program. This is due to additional work placement in the third fourth and fifth year.

Key events :

  • 1961 - ÉNISE is founded. Accreditation is obtained for the Mechanical Engineering programme
  • 1971 - Accreditation is obtained for the Civil Engineering programme
  • 1987 - The duration for the engineering courses is extended to 5 years after the Baccalauréat
  • 2002 - The Master in Dual Design course is introduced
  • 2009 - ÉNISE becomes an "Établissement public à caractère scientifique, culturel et professionnel"
  • 2009 - The Civil Engineering course is opened with an "alternance" option, where the course structure is modified to alternate academic learning and industrial training during the final year
  • 2010 - The Mechanical Engineering course is opened with an "alternance" option
  • 2011 - The 50th class of engineers graduate from ÉNISE

Campus[]

The ÉNISE campus has two locations in Saint-Étienne:

  • The main building is based in the South of Saint Etienne on one of the hills surrounding the city. Here there are many classrooms, one lecture theatre, 7 computer rooms, civil engineering laboratories, mechanical engineering laboratories, boiler works, language laboratories and conference rooms. It also has extensive grounds for Civil Engineering field assignments.
  • The Pôle Productique, located in the north of St Etienne, is the mechanical engineering and research centre.

Academic organisation[]

Teaching[]

The academic year is made up of two semesters. Each year is worth 60 ECTS credits. Within these 60 credits there are a number of compulsory subjects which are complemented by optional units.[5]

Instruction is only given through seminars and practicals, while students are assessed through either an end of module exam or coursework.
Students have to pass the TOEIC with a score of 785 or above.

Work Placement/Internships[]

The engineering courses at ÉNISE allow students to gain industry exposure through compulsory industrial training periods. Each student is required to complete a semester-long internship in the 3rd, 4th and 5th year.

Almost 50% of students undergo at least a 6-month internship in a foreign country.[6] 10% of students also complete their final year at the University of Portsmouth, Mendoza Regional Faculty or University of Siegen and are awarded with a double diploma from both ÉNISE and the partner university.[6]

Research[]

Diagnostics and Imaging of Industrial Processes (DIPI)[]

This laboratory has three main research objectives:

Development of the scientific and technological basis for manufacturing engineered functional objects and surfaces by technologies based on concentrated energy fluxes (lasers, plasma, thermal jets, etc.)

General Technical Objective : Development, optimisation and control of laser-, plasma- and thermal spray technologies. Application of , imaging and for on-line control of industrial high-temperature processes.

General Scientific Objective : Complex and comprehensive experimental study and numerical simulation of the phenomena occurring in application of concentrated energy flux for material processing: conjugated heat- and mass transfer under high temperature, phase transition, gas dynamics and radfition transfer.[7]

They also work in collaboration with other European and South American companies through partnerships.[8]

Laboratory of tribology and system dynamics (LTDS)[]

The LTDS carries out research in the following domains:
Tribology : science of friction, lubrication, wear and adhesion.
System dynamics: science of vibrations, system and mechanical devices stability.
Mechanics of heterogeneous solid media: calculations of structure, elements and transformation processes.[9]
