Located in the scientific campus of the Université Henri Poincaré, the École Supérieure d'Informatique et Applications de Lorraine (ESIAL) is one of the French state-funded Grandes écoles of engineering (engineering schools), specialized in Computer science, accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieurs

It has been created in 1990 and is based in Nancy, France.

The standard curriculum is a three-year program (after two-years preparation) resulting in the French Diplôme d'Ingénieur, is equivalent to a Master's degree of the European Higher Education Area.

[edit] Educational Programs

ESIAL is aimed at producing engineers well-versed in the principles of computing science and automation, expert at integrating computing hardware and software into their products : information engineers, networking engineering, software engineering, telecommunications engineering, system engineering. Studies are organized into four possible themes and students (at the end of the first common year) have to choose a fild they want to learn more :

IL - Ingénierie Logicielle Software engineering
SIE - Systèmes d'Information d'Entreprise (Enterprise Information Systems)
TRS - Télécommunications, Réseaux et Systèmes / Services Telecommunication
ALSI - Applications Logicielles pour les Systèmes Industriels (not opened in 2006/2007 and 2007/2008)
LE - Logiciels Embarqués Embedded system

At the end of each year, ESIAL students have to do an internship in order to practise their knowledge and be part of the Working world:

First year : a 1 month internship in a non-Computer Science field, in order to discover the every-day life in a firm.
Second year : a 2 month internship in a computer development field.
Third year : a 6 month Engineer internship.

[edit] Teaching

Most of ESIAL teachers are researcher, mainly in these three laboratories :

the LORIA (Laboratoire lorrain de recherche en informatique et ses applications), associated with the INRIA Lorraine (Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique) since 1986.
the CRAN (Centre de recherche en automatique de Nancy), associated with CNRS (Centre national de la recherche scientifique) for more than ten years.
the IECN (Institut Elie Cartan de Nancy) associated with CNRS and the INRIA Lorraine
