Real-world projects to develop your employability

In addition to projects carried out in partnership with companies from the aeronautics and space sector, several projects involving systems engineering methodology are offered:

In the 4th year: Academic project simulating a design office responding to a client’s needs.
Example: study and design of an actuation system for an aircraft elevator.
In the 5th year: Professional project addressing a real-world challenge or concrete case.
- Supervised project with an industrial partner
  Example: preliminary design of a business jet (Dassault Aviation).
- Supervised project with an academic association
  Example: testing and validation of a solid-propellant rocket engine (Astro EPF).
