ESISAR

Esisar (École Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs des Systèmes Avancés et Réseaux) is an engineering school of the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble.

Grenoble Institute of Technology (Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble) INPG has 9 schools - [1] Esisar being the most recent. Each year it confers 1000 degrees in engineering, 300 Master's degrees as well as 200 PhD theses. It has 31 research laboratories which are associated with the CNRS (the French National Scientific Research Centre).

Esisar opened its doors in 1995 to satisfy a new need expressed by many firms: to have engineers mastering all the abilities required to achieve and to put into operation advanced systems, in particular electronics, automation and industrial information technology. In fact, Advanced Systems constitute the future of the industry. They allow the more rapid creation of new products (analysis & design), manufacturing at a lower cost while insuring good quality (regulation and a constant supervision of the processes) and they make them distinct from competing products - `smart' items and innovative functions, for example.

With this ambition in mind, Esisar was born from a unique alliance in France - Grenoble University of Technology (INPG), the leading French centre for the training of engineers and the CCI for the Drôme region. http://esisar.grenoble-inp.fr/79883606/0/fiche___pagelibre/&RH=SAR_FOR-Admissions&RF=SAR_FOR-Admissions

These two partners have developed an original teaching method, giving the same value to the classic teachings of an engineering school as to the realities of the industrial world. Esisar is, for example, the only school which offers fourth year students the opportunity to complete an industrial project, carried out for a client company which defines the content. The INPG/ESISAR engineering diploma was entitled and certified by the National Commission in November 1994.

At Esisar students are in contact with the reality of the engineering field during the first two years: electronics, automation and computer science constitute 36% of their programme. In the same way, early apprenticeship of industrial skills (accountancy, marketing, project management, etc.) is given to them and this continues for five years. Mathematics and physics are taught from the first to the fourth year, and are considered as basic, necessary tools for technical disciplines. The first cycle has 684 hours of mathematics and physics, and the third and fourth years total 173 hours.
