ENSICA
Institution Info
Founded in Paris in 1945, ENSICA is one of the prestigious French aerospace schools. It has been based in Toulouse since 1961. ENSICA is a public establishment under the Ministry of Defence, General Delegation for Armaments.
ENSICA trains multidisciplinarity engineers (civil and military) capable, at outcome, of controlling complex projects within an international context.
The school offers a complete range of training: a "Diplôme d'ingénieur" (engineer's dipoma) course, training for and through research, a set of "mastère specialisé" courses, advanced training for executives from industry and state departments.
ENSICA has more than 400 students including 340 on the engineer's course and 65 students doing post-graduate studies (specialisations and doctorates).
The engineer's place in the French system
Qualified French engineers acquire knowledge during a long higher educational cycle including multidisciplinary academic education and training in a professional environment organised within an accredited teaching establishment. Their competences and values are:
- their multidisciplinarity
- their down-to-earth sense
- their capability to specify and model
- their capacity to integrate and innovate
- their international openmindedness
- their control of economical aspects
- their general culture
- their respect of the code of ethics.
Depending on type of training, the French engineer can be:
- a specialised technical engineer -
- an engineer capable of implementing research and development processes -
- a versatile multidisciplinary engineer capable of combining the two previous qualities.
ENSICA's engineers are versatile engineers of the third type.
"The basic job of the engineer is to solve problems of a technical, concrete and often complex nature related to the design, manufacture and implementation of products, systems or services. This capability results from technical knowledge which, on the one hand, is economical, social and human and, on the other hand, underpinned by a solid scientific culture."
