Actually, eme aims at preparing future scientists and engineers capable of taking on major challenges in the following areas

2. Program / Courses

Each student will be required to enroll in U.E.1, U.E.2, U.E.3, U.E.4 (see below). Non-French speakers will be also required to enroll in U.E.5.

INSA students could be dispensed from enrolling in two U.E. (max) among U.E.1, U.E.2, U.E.3, U.E.4, provided they have already validated these U.E.s in previous studies.

Each student will have to choose one U.E. among U.E.6a, U.E.6b and U.E.6c, and one U.E. among U.E.7a, U.E.7b and U.E.7c.
