Программа высшего образования по инженерии, направление Цифровые науки, специализация Data Science & Artificial Intelligence

The current digital transition of companies is leading to significant developments in the information system (security, access to data, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence) and new uses of IT (BYOD, teleworking, etc.). The CESI engineer uses his technical and scientific skills in this environment to carry out IT projects that meet these new requirements. At the end of this course, he will have all the keys in hand to progress in his profession, manage and pilot large-scale projects. Beyond his technical and scientific skills, he will also be equipped with human skills to build and manage a team. His ability to adapt will allow him to accelerate his career development towards professions with high responsibility.

Possible Options

In the final year of the course, the student can choose two options from: Data Scientist & Big Data, 3D Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality, Cybersecurity, Robotics, Research, Project Portfolio Management, Business Unit Manager, Innovation, Entrepreneurship. The list of options offered depends on the campus.

Five years to prepare you for the profession of engineer. In the preparatory cycle, you start with a year common to the four areas of CESI and gradually you move towards choosing your major in the 3rd year. You are able to provide innovative solutions to the problems encountered. To specialize and stand out, opt for a 5th year option. Accredited by the Commission for Engineering Qualifications (CTI), this Program benefits from international recognition.

Corporate Missions

Preparatory ycle: Local program development / Creation, modification of data processing algorithms / Design and manipulation of databases / Data exploitation, formatting of data reports Engineering course: Modeling and administration of database systems data or Information Systems / Optimization of processing/algorithms / Processing of massive data / AI applications (imaging, languages, business, etc.)

What he will be able to do in business

In the engineering course, the student progresses from the role of technician to that of engineer:

• Confirmed technician at the end of the 1st year: he masters the technical aspects of his missions and knows how to apply them independently
• Assistant engineer at the end of the 2nd year: he can deal with problems requiring new solutions, and supervise teams in the field
• Junior engineer at the end of the cycle: he is autonomous in dealing with entire subjects, integrating technical, economic, organizational and human dimensions.

The Evaluation System

In the preparatory cycle as in the engineering course, the evaluation system is based on continuous monitoring. The lessons are distributed in different Teaching Units; each unit corresponds to a certain number of ECTS credits. One year corresponds to 60 credits. Students must have validated all their teaching units and obtained their ECTS credits to move on to the next year.

The conditions for obtaining the diploma are:

• Validate all the Teaching Units, therefore having acquired 300 credits over the five years of training
• Obtain a B2 level certification in English
• Carry out mobility abroad for a period of 20 weeks

The CESI engineering course is a program involving a 2-year preparatory cycle followed by a 3-year course of study on campus which leads to an engineering diploma (level 7 Master).

Excellence outside the box

CESI - École d'Ingénieurs founded in 1958 by industrial companies, today has 28,000 students across 25 campuses throughout France, fitted with state-of-the-art educational equipment, 106,000 alumni, 8,000 partner companies, and 130 partnerships with universities around the world.
