ESTACA Launches a Sustainable and Responsible Program

l’ESTACA, a post-baccalaureate engineering school, is restructuring its program with the launch of a department called IDEAL, for Sustainable and Responsible Engineering.

The transportation and mobility sector is undergoing a profound transformation with the deployment of digital technology, artificial intelligence, and energy challenges. To prepare future engineers for these ongoing and upcoming changes in the industry and society in general, ESTACA is therefore evolving the organization and content of its engineering program.

Preparing “ESTACA” for the new challenges

Starting from September 2023, the school’s curriculum is now structured around three departments:

• Sciences for Engineering (SPIN) > allows students to acquire the scientific, technical, and fundamental skills necessary for their engineering training.

• Mobility Engineering (IBIS) > focuses on the specific skills related to each transportation sector chosen by students: aerospace, automotive, railway, space, or naval.

• Sustainable and Responsible Engineering (IDEAL) > covers a wide range of multidisciplinary skills, including in the fields of humanities, interculturality, ethics, communication, management, and professional experience.

The IDEAL department aims to complement and deepen the existing training by strengthening the future engineers’ skills in reducing the environmental footprint of transportation, integrating transition, and developing transversal skills.

Beyond acquiring essential technical foundations, this program will also expose students to the evolution of our society through a module “Humanities and Societal Transition”, dedicated to languages and interculturality: language learning, public speaking exercises, autonomy development, critical thinking, and openness to other cultures.
