What you will study

Graduates apply creative engineering methods to map a company's knowledge and derive short, medium and long-term projects, apply a systematic problem-posing and solution-evaluation process, and forecast product or service improvements from evolution trends. The mandatory workshops ATE800 and ATE850 are part of the program, and credits can transfer to the graduate short program, DESS and master's in innovation management.
