[edit] Diplôme d'Ingénieur - DIPLOME D'INGENIEUR
The French Grandes Ecoles award the prestigious "Diplôme d’Ingénieur ", recognized internationally as a Master’s degree. A degree equivalent to Master's degree in Engineering in the USA, the UK and other engineering systems conferred by the Conference of Grandes Ecoles in France.
A full international accreditation as Master: Bologna agreement, gathering over 45 countries including European Union, has established that the French diplôme d’ingénieur is equivalent to a Master’s degree. Only national degrees at the level + 300 credits ECTS (DIPLOME D'INGENIEUR) meets the International requirements for an “official” Master’s degree. For more information please see official laws: décret N° 99-747 du 30 août 1999 publié au JO N°203 du 2 septembre 1999, p13107.
This "Diplôme d’Ingénieur" prepares to management positions of projects or teams (number of CEO or Directors of companies graduated basically with a "Diplôme d'Ingénieur") and we, so, present it as a Master of Science in Engneering with Management.
French engineers are educated in close cooperation with business. These academic-business partnerships introduce graduates to professional life while giving them a solid grounding in their discipline. The close relationship with business distinguishes French engineering education from programs elsewhere.
This training for the social and professional world, which is an integral part of the curriculum, has several aspects:
-Courses in human and social sciences, as well as an introduction to management.
-Courses in labor and business law.
-Visits to production sites.
-Conferences by professionals.
-Internships and research projects carried out in corporate facilities.
All engineering programs include internships, typically in a business setting. More than 90 percent require at least one internship at some point in the curriculum.
Placements and Internships: Schools offer three types of internships that involve them progressively in the firm, initially as observers and increasingly as actors. The types are “worker” internships, “senior technician” internships, and “graduate” internships, where the students function as engineers. All internships are graded and are part of the degree requirements.
