Semester 10

Internship

Internships and Projects

Focus on projects

2nd year
3rd year

Engineering project

The principle: in teams of 4-5, the engineering students must solve concrete company projects.
This is the first time our students are put into a professional situation. The projects take place in 3 stages:

A framing to explain the expectations of the companies, the deliverables and the organisation of the project: 4 half-days

A 1st sprint of one week to launch the project and validate the efficiency of the company/team collaboration

A 2nd production sprint of 3 weeks which concludes with the students’ presentation. During this period, the student team works the equivalent of 700 hours, accompanied by a teacher-researcher and a company tutor.

Research and Innovation Project

The principle: in teams of 2-3, final-year engineering students explore innovative ideas from companies using the design thinking method.

To carry out these projects, the students have access to the school’s state-of-the-art laser marking, vision and audiovisual equipment.
The projects take place during two 3-day creative sprints, supervised by a research professor

Double degrees

Among the 7 Master’s degrees offered by the school, some will enable students to broaden their skills, others will enable them to deepen one of the specialities of their course (possibly offering research courses). Specialised courses also complete this offer, such as the Grandes Écoles programme, a specialised engineering diploma, etc. Finally, students can take international Masters courses in the United States, Canada, China, etc

Broaden your skills :

Master’s in Entrepreneurship: develop a project to create or take over a company, learn about the challenges facing a company, prepare for the management of a new company, have the possibility of obtaining student-entrepreneur status and carry out their end-of-study internship in their own company.
Master’s degree in Economic Intelligence and Innovation Management (IEGI): to meet the new needs of companies in terms of economic intelligence and the organisation of technological changes.
Master’s degree in Science and Digital Health (SNS): to put the skills acquired in Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies at the service of health in order to contribute to the development of the medicine of tomorrow.

To deepen one of the course specialities (possibly offering research courses):

Master 3EA course Electronics and Embedded Systems (ESE): develop knowledge in integrated electronics for embedded systems.
Master OIVM Advanced Imaging and Material Appearance (AIMA): develop the knowledge essential to a future specialist in image processing.
Master OIVM Surface and Interface Science and Engineering (SISE) pathway focused on surface engineering or Materials Structuring and Component Design (SM2C) pathway to design Photovoltaic and Lighting systems.
Master’s degree in Computer Science: Data and Connected Systems (DSC ) to address the problems of data massification and the interconnection of computer systems and communicating objects or Cyber Physical Social Systems (CPS2) to master the problems of socio-cyber-physical systems resulting from the fusion of the physical, social and digital dimensions of our environments.

Specific training :

Grandes Écoles programme of the Institut Mines Télécom Business School (Master’s degree) allowing students to obtain a double engineer/manager diploma (training leading to an additional year at Evry in the engineering curriculum).
Engineering diploma specialising in security for communications and computer systems or in communications for intelligent transport systems (EURECOM training leading to an additional semester at Sophia Antipolis in the engineering curriculum)
. Institut Mines-Télécom exchange programme (for example the joint MEDIA
programme of the IMT-BS and Télécom SudParis allowing students to move into the audiovisual sector)
