École Nationale Supérieure de l'Electronique et de ses Application
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
École Nationale Supérieure de l'Electronique et de ses Applications (also known as ENSEA) is a prestigious graduate school (grande école) of electrical engineering and computer science, located in Cergy (in Val d'Oise department) close to Paris.
It was founded in 1952.
Future engineers are recruited after a centralized country-wide specific entrance examination ("Classes Préparatoires") or laterally into final or pre-final year after a bachelor degree in electronics or relevant scientific fields (physics, chemistry, electronics, computer science, etc).
The Engineering degree (or Diplôme d'Ingénieur) delivered by ENSEA is equivalent to the Master's degree in Engineering in the USA. Courses spread over 3 years cover all aspects of electrical, electronics and computer science and engineering, e.g.: signal processing, microelectronics, embedded systems, software engineering, networking, control and power electronics besides some important non-engineering courses such as economics, management, business communications and foreign languages.
The school presently offers 8 specialisations:
- 1-Electronics, Communications & Microwaves
- 2-Networks and Telecommunications
- 3-Embedded Electronic Systems
- 4-Mechatronics and Complex Systems
- 5-Electronics, Instrumentation and Bioscience
- 6-Control Systems & Power Electronics
- 7-Computer Systems
- 8-Signals,Real time and Communications
The school has strong international links with reputed Universities all over the world, especially in United States, Germany, Spain and UK. It offers dual Master degrees with several American and European universities including Georgia Tech and Illinois Institute of Technology. ENSEA is also a member of the n+i network of engineering schools and admits some 10 highly competetive students from around the world every year through the n+i program.
