The 3rd year of the Dual Degree Bachelor's Program in Engineering Sciences prepares students for graduate studies (master) in civil, electrical or mechanical engineering, particularly within the Magistère program of University Paris-Saclay or the ENS Paris-Saclay diploma. The curriculum builds a solid foundation in cord scientific, mathematical, modeling and computational methods, while gradually guiding students toward specialization in one of the three fields.
The 3rd year of the Dual Degree Bachelor’s Program in Engineering Sciences is organized around : a) a bachelor's degree component consisting of : a common scientific foundation to consolidate the basics of Engineering Sciences (mathematical, digital, and modeling tools) and two blocks of pre-orientation and disciplinary specialization ; b) a university diploma component (or reinforcement of the first year of the ENS Paris-Saclay diploma) consisting of : technological initiation projects and disciplinary option modules at the beginning of the year to help guide students progressively toward their areas of interest. Once a specialization is chosen, students engage in a long-term disciplinary project, which introduces them to project-based work focused on addressing scientific, technical, or interdisciplinary research challenges.
Information
Skills
The skills to be acquired during the 3rd year of the Dual Degree Bachelor’s Program in Engineering Science include :
- Modeling, simulating, and experimenting to address scientific and technological challenges.
- Developing analytical and design approaches for complex systems.
- Organizing and managing individual or group projects.
- Communicating, sharing, and disseminating knowledge effectively.
These skills will continue to be developed in the master’s programs that this curriculum naturally leads to, such as civil engineering, mechanical engineering, mechatronics, electronics, electrical energy, and automation.
Objectives
The 3rd year of the Dual Degree Bachelor’s Program in Engineering Sciences aims to provide students with scientific knowledge and skills applied to engineering science issues, through the learning of tools for:
- modeling the physical phenomena involved
- describing the multiphysical behaviors of associated materials
- mathematics for modeling and simulating these phenomena
- programming and numerical resolution of these phenomena
Practical activities (experimental or numerical practical work, projects,etc) make up over 60% of the training and aim to develop a scientific mindset, problem-solving abilities for complex systems, and transversal skills (teamwork, communication, project organization) through real-life contexts.
English language training is an integral part of the curriculum, as it is essential for academic and professional development in an international context.
This program fully equips students to pursue advanced degrees, particularly in research-oriented programs.
This year is also a pivotal moment for academic orientation, allowing students to explore and define their interests within the major fields of Engineering Science.
The structure of the program is specifically designed to foster exposure to the three main engineering disciplines—civil, electrical, and mechanical—while helping students understand their industrial, societal, and sustainability-related challenges. Around 70% of the curriculum is dedicated to in-depth disciplinary training.
The program is further enriched by disciplinary conferences and career-oriented events, which support students in building their academic and professional plans through critical reflection and informed decision-making.
