Chloé, Responsable des Opérations - Primax

Engineers trained by the department of Measurement Systems and Applied Business are specialists in measurement and analytical instruments in the areas of electronics, physics and chemistry. They benefit from a dual competence that is both technical and commercial, not only enabling them to detect, understand and analyse an instrumental need but also to market and/or develop appropriate solutions.
They are able to offer companies a global solution, combining both commercial and scientific aspects, by analysing the client’s requirements in order to propose a multi-dimensional solution (through technical expertise, negotiation with the client, training programs and personally accompanying the client).
Given their multidisciplinary training, they are reactive and can constantly adapt to technological evolutions. Thanks to their varied competences, they can look forward to extremely favourable employment prospects.

During the program, the student engineer will simultaneously follow:
> A broad scientific program of study (analog and digital electronics, telecommunication circuits and components, optics, lasers, chemistry…) enabling future engineers to rapidly adapt to new technologies and products.
> A program in economics and commerce, which goes beyond what is generally offered in traditional engineering schools, enabling the student engineer to acquire notions which are specific to a business program: economic and social environment, sales techniques, management control, finance, taxation, commercial law, international commerce, marketing, project management. The opportunity to acquire and practise communication techniques and to study two foreign languages (with a specialization in business English) completes the program, allowing the engineer to evolve and progress in international contexts.

Classes are taught in French.
