The cole Centrale de Nantes (ECN) is an engineering school generalist. Located in France , it was established in 1919 and is a member of the Central Group.

History

In August 1919 , at the instigation of the shipbuilding industry and construction, the City of Nantes decided to create a Western Polytechnic Institute (SSI) and then to the National Vocational School Eugene Livet Nantes. In 1926 , the State recognizes and accepts its attachment Institute at the University of Rennes. The institute is among the engineering courses of the oldest recognized by the Securities Commission as an engineer in France. Professor at the IPO since 1927, Paul Le Rolland is director from 1934 to 1944 before becoming Director of Technical Education in Paris.

In 1947 , the Institute was transformed into National School of Mechanics (ENSM), type national schools of Engineering (ENSI). Its status is that of an institute affiliated faculty at the University of Rennes. The connection is transferred to the University of Nantes during the creation of it in 1962. The ENSM moved in 1977 to new premises, near the campuses of law and letters.

In 1991 , through the creation of the Central Group , the school takes the name of Ecole Centrale de Nantes (ECN). She left the group to join the ENSI Contest Central-Suplec including Central School Paris , Ecole Centrale de Lyon and Ecole Centrale de Lille.

The Central School of Nantes retains its status as a public administration until 29 September 1993 when the Decree 93-1143 transforms into A public, scientific, cultural and professional.

Director Peter Vaussy leaves office in September 2002 giving space to Patrick Chedmail , former director of studies that continues the work of his predecessor, particularly in the redesign project studies aimed at redefining the general profile of the training and to establish or strengthen links with industry.

In 2006, the Ecole Centrale de Nantes joined the Foundation Centrale Lille is renowned Central Initiative Foundation to create synergies through corporate sponsorship. In 2009, the Ecole Centrale de Nantes and Ecole Centrale de Lyon create a joint venture of research development: Central innovation .

In January 2010, Ecole Centrale de Nantes based Natech - Nantes Atlantic Technology in partnership with Audencia and the Ecole des Mines de Nantes.

Training

The formation of general engineering

Building housing the towing tank

Centrale Nantes trains engineers general, that is to say capable of adapting to the many problems they encounter in the world of industry. Typically, graduates of the school are brought quickly to fill senior positions as Project Manager.

From the third year, the school offers students deepen a particular domain using the 8 following options:

• Automatic
• Computers
• Product Development and Industrial Systems
• Materials
• Simulation in Engineering Mechanics
• Civil and Environmental Engineering
• Energy
• Hydrodynamics & Ocean Engineering

He also asked a third-year engineering students to follow one of the following professional:

• Design and marketing innovation
• Developing a personal project
• Undertake
• Finance
• Project Management
• Quality
• Research and development
• City and sustainable services

Since 2001, Ecole Centrale de Nantes is seeking an international dimension. Thus two languages are compulsory throughout the school and students are required to obtain at least an internationally recognized qualification, the aim of the school is to move beyond academic learning and provide cultural knowledge and ability communication in the workplace.

In addition, all students must, during their schooling, a stay abroad for a minimum of 6 weeks. The average stay is 4.5 months, which is a "strong point" in the training of engineers in the ECN, which thus acquire a good knowledge of the culture of a country. Under agreements Top Industrial Managers for Europe (TIME network that brings together forty leading European universities), engineering students can make a school of 18 to 24 months in a partner and get after 4 years at a time ECN engineering degree and diploma level equivalent to that institution.

Doctoral education

The school is involved in two graduate schools in cohabilitation with the University of Nantes :

• Graduate School of Science and Technology Information and materials, hosted by the University of Nantes;
• Graduate School Mechanics, Thermal Engineering and hosted by ECN.

The average number of students from Central School in preparation for thesis is about 45 per axis mechanical / civil engineering and 55 per IRCCyN. The school awards thirty doctorates per year.

Research

Laboratory IRCCyN

The research is based on five research units:

• Research Institute of Communication and Cybernetics of Nantes (IRCCyN)
• Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics
• Research Institute of Civil Engineering and Mechanics (GeM)
• Mathematics Research Institute Jean Leray
• Methodological Research Center for Architecture (CERMA)

Conditions for entry

The recruitment of engineering students is mainly on competition after the preparatory classes for grandes coles. The main access road is the Central-Suplec Contest (at the end of the chain of preparatory MP, PSI, PC, PT, IST), but some students are recruited after licenses or master's degrees in science or Program TIME. Finally there is the possibility of integrating from a preparation made ATS after a BTS or a DUT on a specific competition ATS.

For information, here is the composition of the promotion 2013:

School Life

Associative

The Arts Office

His goal is to develop the place of Art and Culture in the lives of students at Ecole Centrale de Nantes. This is to inform them of the cultural activities of the city of Nantes and offer them access to discounted rates. The BDA also offers on-campus Centrale Nantes activities such as salsa lessons, sculpture and drawing. Moreover, the BDA organizes during the school year, international evenings, concerts, weekend in France .... (Such as the Weekend Chambord first big project organized entirely by the BDA).

Since the Oss Arts (2008-2009), the BDA organizes an annual Cultural Week. The program includes a week of activities, concerts, lectures, film screenings, exhibitions, competitions (short films, news, photo), etc ... you will find everything on the site: http://www. semaineq10.fr / This week is closed by the Night Q: http://www.semaineq10.fr/nuitq.html

Housing

Housing for first-year engineering students (EI1 - Bac +3) and some international students is mainly provided by the two residences on campus:

• The residence was in a Max Schmitt in 1992 and offers 130 studios (T1, T2 and T3 bis).
• Since 2003 , the residence offers 125 Max Schmitt 2 additional studios (T1).

The good performance of these units is provided by the Residents Association. The other students must find housing near the school, which is facilitated by the fact that the school is located on the university campus.

The BDE association office ENCY (Students Association Centrale Nantes)

The student office (formerly AEI - Association for engineering students) is the major student life at Centrale Nantes. His roles are many:

• The organization of Evening students in the language or Tonus Nantais
• Prepare trips offered to students
• Manage and subsidize more than 90 school clubs
• Assist the various associations of schools in their projects (Gala, The Central, WEI, The Challenge Nemo ..)
• Offer many services to Ei (Driving Licence, UK Tickets and TAN ..)
• Represent the Ei (Engineering students) during the passage of juries
