Program Overview

Introduction to the Ingénieur de Grenoble INP - Esisar Program

The Ingénieur de Grenoble INP - Esisar program is a multidisciplinary engineering course that focuses on electronic, computer, and systems engineering. This program is designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to design, develop, and integrate advanced systems and embedded systems, taking into account constraints such as integration, environment, cost, and autonomy.

Presentation of the Program

• The program is certified by the Commission des Titres d'Ingénieur (CTI) and is structured as a Master's degree.
• It spans over 3 years (6 semestres) and is accessible in initial training, continuing education, and apprenticeship.
• The program is based in Valence, France, and the language of instruction is French.

Disciplines Taught in the Program

The program covers a wide range of disciplines, including:

• Mathematics and physics for engineers
• Circuits and communication systems
• Electronic and embedded systems
• Programming, software engineering, and networks
• Security and safety of systems
• Automatic control of dynamic systems
• Transversal teachings: languages (English and LV2), sports, and business techniques

Objectives

The main objectives of the program are to provide students with:

• Knowledge of the company and its functions
• Teamwork skills
• Ability to communicate with multiple stakeholders
• Problem-solving and autonomy skills
• Customer relationship management
• Ability to approach complexity and make decisions
• Project management skills with technical, economic, and human dimensions

Admission Requirements

• The recruitment for the first year of the engineering cycle at Bac+2 takes place after two years of preparatory cycle (integrated prep, scientific prep classes, INP prep) or with a university diploma (mainly DUT, L2).
• The tuition fee is 601€ per year for initial training and 3770€ per year for non-EU students.

Program Structure

The program is divided into several semesters, each with its own set of courses and specializations. The fifth year is dedicated to a project or an internship, which can be carried out in France or abroad.

International Opportunities

The program offers international mobility opportunities, including exchange programs, double degrees, and internships. Students can spend a semester or a year abroad in one of the partner universities.

Career Prospects

Graduates of the program can pursue careers in various fields, including:

• Design of embedded systems (HW/SW)
• Development of critical software
• Architecture of material and software systems
• Control and command of systems
• Most economic sectors are concerned, from aeronautics to energy, from automotive to telecommunications, from medical equipment to consumer electronics.

Further Studies

After obtaining their engineering degree, students can pursue further studies, including a thesis or a doctorate, without additional prerequisites. They can also opt for a double degree in a master's program on the Grenoble site or spend an academic semester in a foreign university to prepare for their further studies.
