An innovative programclosely aligned withindustrial requirementsThe modern aeronautical and automotive industries need engineerswho have more than the traditional technical skills. They need toacquire the latest and most technologically advanced numericalsimulation skills and the future industrial requirements to be able towork in an international environment.

ESTACA offers a one semester program in Computer AidedEngineering and Design (CAED) applied to the Aeronautical andAutomotive sectors.The objective of this program is to provide stu-dents with the means of achieving high quality design, cost reduc-tion and best time-to-market skills.Combining the training in CAEDand its immediate application to a design project carried out in aninternational team optimizes the training period for maximumresults, after which the students are immediately operational.

International students will also have a unique opportunity to studyand learn the French language and culture.

CAED Program in brief Aim: Learn and operate CAED tools to design aero-

nautical and automotive systems and subsystems.

Course breakdown: Lectures, lab work, teamworkproject and management.

Language: English
