AERONAUTICS AND SPACE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING SCHOOL ACCREDITED BY NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD (CTI) POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE OF ADVANCED SCIENCES WWW.IPSA.FR THE COLLEGE FOR AEROSPACE ENTHUSIASTS IPSA is an engineering college The pedagogy at IPSA is very specific. offering a 5 year syllabus During their studies, IPSAliens** have to: (accredited by the CTI*) 100% dedicated to Aeronautics and Space. • Develop the scientific skills essential to their The interest in ‘everything Aerospace’ future profession as engineers specializing in Aeronautics and Space, is a particular source of motivation • Consolidate their knowledge in the college and the passion in the Humanities, is shared by both students • Remain in permanent contact with the world and lecturers. of work within the aeronautical and space sectors through internships or projects on industrial topics. * The ‘CTI’ (Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur) is the organization which monitors and accredits the diplomas of engineering colleges in France. ** IPSAliens is the nickname given to students studying at IPSA ENCOURAGING THE PASSION FOR AERONAUTICS AND SPACE PROJECT BASED PEDAGOGY IPSA places its culture of projects Examples of projects carried out by at the center of the curriculum. IPSAliens during the engineering syllabus. Right from the start of training, • Choice of material for the thermal shield rd students, working in teams, carry of a space shuttle. (3 year) rd out projects on themes. These become • Aviation in the post-oil era? (3 year) • Design of a convertible drone (4 th year) increasingly complex from the 1st year • Design of a delta wing interceptor aircraft of the engineering syllabus, finishing (4th year) with a high level of technical content • Dimensioning an engine for a manned at the end of course. These projects suborbital vehicle. (5th year) teach students project management. • A study of the wing shape of a FALCON 2000 L (5 th year) 1 THE IPSA SYLLABUS OVER 5 YEARS 3RD YEAR: aerospace systems or vehicles. 4TH YEAR: 5 MAJORS • Energy, Propulsion and engine innovation • Mechanics and aircraft Structures • Embedded systems and Telecommunications • Mechatronic control systems • Space, Launchers and Satellites The preparatory program (Paris and Toulouse) lasts 2 years 5TH YEAR: 3 COURSE CHOICES PROPOSED and from the beginning, initiates TO THE STUDENTS students into the aerospace EXPERT-ENGINEER COURSE sector. The passion for the sector DESIGN OF AERONAUTIC SYSTEMS is mirrored through concrete Vehicle : industry orientated design • Energy And Motorisation and build projects. The subjects • Aeronautical Cells studied are mathematics, Systems : physics, aeronautical science, • Operation And Transmission computer science and electronics, Of Embedded Information • Auto Piloted Airborne Controls languages and project management. DESIGN OF SPACE SYSTEMS The engineers program lasts • Space Vehicles 3 years and allows students • Space Systems to specialize in their own chosen field and to individualize MANAGEMENT AND INDUSTRIAL LOGISTICS: their courses through options • Industrial Projects And Business Engineering and scientific majors. • Industrial Logistics - Production – Maintenance During their training the IPSAliens spend 9 months on compulsory DUAL CURRICULUM SKILLS IPSA / MBA ISG approved work experience including (sales engineer) a 6 month end of course internship, proving real professional experience INTERNATIONAL CURRICULUM: right out of school. Double diploma with foreign universities 2 A COLLEGE WITH A RESOLUTELY INTERNATIONAL VISION SOME OF OUR PARTNERS: • Arizona University, USA • Cheng Kung National University, Taïwan In order to prepare its students • Cranfi eld University, England, UK for the international and • Nanjing University of Aeronautics multicultural world that the and Astronautics, China • Samara State Aerospace University, Russia Aerospace sector has become, • Shenyang Aerospace University, China IPSA has implemented a major • SeoulTech, South Korea English language training program from year 1, with immersion weeks. Teaching is RESEARCH AT IPSA mostly in English for the last two At the crossroads of the industrial and years of the course, promoting academic worlds, research is one of the better integration of foreign fundamental axes of Ipsalien pedagogy. students and thus increasing A college for Aeronautical and Space academic exchanges with IPSA’s engineers, with three research laboratories partner universities in other dedicated to Aerospace, IPSA puts innovation countries. at the heart of its engineering training. 2 axes of research: All 4th year students spend > Microaeronautics a compulsory study semester > Scientifi c calculation applied th abroad and 5 year students can to the aerospace fi eld prepare a ‘French–Foreign double diploma’. These international experiences nurture open minds and can boost the early careers of some graduates. 3 OUR PARTNERS AROUND THE WORLD 1. GERMANY MUNICH UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES 2.
