ISAE is deeply committed in providing its students access toits research capabilities as well as its academic and industrialpartnerships, covering the entire fields of aerospace engineering.From a research policy point of view, the double objective is toprovide knowledge production as well as response to societyand aerospace industrial needs. ISAE main research partnersare ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab.), LAAS-CNRSand OMP, the largest French laboratories in the engineeringsciences and space sciences fields. ISAE is involved into long-term research and development agreements with the mainEuropean aerospace companies: Airbus Group (Airbus Defense& Space, Airbus Helicopters), SAFRAN (Snecma, Turbomeca,Microturbo, Technofan), Thales Alenia Space, Rockwell-Collins,MBDA, Liebherr Aerospace. As a result of its commitmentinto aerospace higher education and research, ISAE is part ofthe management board of the Aerospace Valley cluster (550companies and education and research partners from Aquitaineand Midi-Pyrénées Regions).

ISAE scientific activities are organized into 4 trainingand research departments and one aerospace center.

■ The aerodynamics, energetics and propulsion depart-ment develops its research activities on four axes: > tur-bulence, instabilities and numerical simulation > turboma-chinery and propulsion > advanced aerodynamics and flowcontrol > aerodynamics and propulsion of micro-air-vehicles.DAEP benefits from noteworthy experimental facilities as alarge wind-tunnel (with an elliptic 2 x 3 m wide testsection), a low-Reynolds number quiet wind-tunnel, adouble-flux turbojet engine mounted on a fully instrumentedtest-bank, a centrifugal compressor, and a turbocharger test-bank. The department also relies on local computationalmeans and on the largest French academic simulation

facilities to carry out numerical simulations with commer-

cial and research codes.

■ The mechanics of structures and materials department is part of the Clément Ader Institute that gathers in a singlelaboratory all the research capabilities of the Midi-PyrénéesRegion (UPS, INSA, ISAE, Mines Albi). ISAE professors’research is focused on > damage to composite materials inaerospace structures > fatigue of metal materials and struc-tures > dynamics of structures > advanced numerical methodsfor mechanics. Again ISAE strongly supports this research bydeveloping and sustaining large facilities like a drop tower(200 kg, 10 m/s), a rapid impact bench (500 g, 200 m/s), hy-draulic fatigue machines, climatic chambers, modular framesfor structure testing (wings…) and analysis and control means

(XRay spectrometer, nano-indenter, ultrasonic and radiogra-phic non-destructive testing, scanning electron microscopy).

■ The electronics, optronics and signal department is orga-nized into 4 research groups: > microwaves and optronics forembedded systems > CMOS imagers performance improve-ment and design (CIMI Group) > signal, communication, anten-nas and navigation (SCAN Group) > space instrumentation(SSPA group). The environment comprises a set of optical and

optronic characterization benches, a CMOS imager design cen-ter, space telecommunication characterization and simulationbenches. The CIMI group is involved into the Airbus Defense& Space - ISAE chair CRISTAL with several world firsts inimager development for space applications. The SCAN groupis part of the TeSA joint laboratory with Thalès AleniaSpace, CNES and Rockwell Collins on Telecommunica-tions for Space and Aeronautics. The SSPA team has developeda strong partnership with the 2 French largest space laborato-ries OMP and IPGP, and is the head of instrument developmentwork packages in European and International projects in theframe of CNES, NASA and JAXA missions.

■

The complex systems engineering department developmethods, techniques and tools that make it possible to unders-tand, analyze, evaluate, control and design the functional andoperational behavior and performances of complex systems.The MARS team (modeling and architecture of systems) isstructured around three axes: > mathematical modeling andnumerical simulation > critical on-board systems > communi-cation networks, this third axis being developed together withLAAS-CNRS and contributing to the TeSA joint laboratory. TheADIS team (control decision and interface of systems) dealswith > automatics and flight dynamics > autonomy and deci-sion-making, including man-machine interfacing. Three plat-forms support this research: emulation and communication

networks, cooperative robotics, parallel and distributed com-puting.

■ Finally, the Aeronautics and space centre provides uniquefacilities such as a full flight simulator and a fleet of 10 air-craft dedicated to training, research and Flight Testexperiments. This center is hosting the research on man-ma-chine interfacing.

All four departments and CAS support a Micro-aerial vehicledevelopment program at an international level, on the basis ofstudent projects, research and innovation projects, and interna-tional competitions.

ISAE master teaching is founded on research-education-interwoven policy in order to offermaster’s students to participate in a wide variety of research opportunities throughout theirmaster course and beyond.

Cecily SUNDAY, USA, Robotics Mechanical Engineerat NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Graduated in 2014- MSc AMAI applied to the ISAE master’s program because I was lookingfor a graduate school that would provide me with both a strongacademic and personal challenge. In the end, I chose this programover my other options because it best satisfied these two goals.On one hand, the academic schedule, which includes a balanceof lecture, research, and work components, matched my subjectinterests and learning objectives. On the other hand, I had theopportunity to immerse myself in a foreign language and experiencefirst-hand a different culture. Consequently, I have found that oneof the strongest assets of this program is the opportunity to workalongside a culturally diverse group of peers. The international

aspect of this program creates a number of unique opportunitiesthat would not be possible otherwise. For example, I was ableto choose a research project where I collaborate simultaneouslywith US and French space agencies. From a personal standpoint,I now have friends from across the world that I can visit andhost.. Following graduation from this program, I began workingas a Robotics Mechanical Engineer at the NASA Jet PropulsionLaboratory. My current tasks support future Mars and Venusmissions.

Sofia URBINA - Spain, PhD student at LAAS-CNRS -Graduated in 2013 - MSc AESSWhy did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were your

objectives ? In Madrid, I had a very theoretical background regarding theaerospace domain. I missed both having a more practical approachto the aeronautical field and deeper knowledge in space, whichhas always been my passion. These two key points were decisiveto choose ISAE. The MSc AESS promised to give us both theoreticand practical knowledge, which was a real challenge. I hadfull confidence in the school, since its reputation is well knownworldwide. In addition, coming to France seemed a great opportunityto learn another language while improving English during lectures.

According to your experience, which are the strong assets of theMaster you did ? After graduating, I keep three main strong assets of the Master. Thefirst one is its high technical level. The lectures take into accountboth theoretical and practical aspects of each course, which had tobe finished with a high-quality report. The second one is related tothe Research Project that has to be performed during two semesters.Thanks to it, I discovered my real vocation as researcher in the spacedomain. The last one regards the personal point of view. SinceISAE hosts many international students, I had the opportunity ofinterconnecting with other cultures, which enriches one’s life.

Which are your career plans ? I wish to work for Airbus, if possible in flight test engineering.

Andra TONIE - Croatia, Customer Support Manager, AirFrance Indutry - Graduated in 2014 - MSc AESSWhy did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were yourobjectives ? I chose ISAE after evaluating the best aerospace schools in Europe onseveral criteria: program variety, international openness, professionalnetwork and reputation. In addition, the masters program Aeronauticaland Space Systems allowed me to enter the aerospace world witha B. of Eng. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Myobjectives were to get the best quality education available for theaerospace industry, through a rich program, offering not only coursesbut also practical projects, research and placement in the industry.

According your experience, which are the strong assets of theMaster you did ?

Definitely the 2 semesters of research (followed by 1 semester ofthesis) and the strong network ISAE has with the industry. Not onlythat I managed to publish a paper following my research work, butthe large project offered me a view of assets and work needed ina totally innovative environment, seeing a topic in detail, producingresults that can be used and from which you learn beyond the usualinstitutional activities; also, all of these, while having a researchtutor close to answer to all your questions. This counted as a strongand reliable work experience the moment that I started lookingfor a job following my masters program, and it is also part of theknowledge I use in my current job.

Which are your career plans ? At this point, I am looking forward to growing inside the company,

as it offers me great responsibility and opportunities to learn, and tomoving gradually to even more challenging positions, alongside myprogress. Bottom line for me is to evolve on a career level that keepsme challenged and adaptive, able to bring new solutions.

Qianjiao HUAN, China, Graduated in 2010 - MSc AMAAfter I got my bachelor degree at BUAA (Beijing University ofAeronautics and Aerospace), I heard that there is an opportunityof the AIRBUS scholarship program to study the Master of Sciencein Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics at ISAE. As ISAE is the bestEuropean school for aeronautics, I’m very grateful for AIRBUS andISAE gave me this opportunity to make my dream come true. Duringthe two years at ISAE, we had classes not only in technologies butalso in lots of other domains, such as management, language and

culture. More than half of the classes are given by professors whoare come from the industrial companies, AIRBUS, CNES, ONERA,EUROCOPTER, etc. We learnt the knowledge by a more professionalway with helps a lot in our future career. The internship which tookplace at the last semester gives us a great opportunity to link what wehave learnt at school to what we are going to do as a job in the future.For me, I have performed a six months internship at AIRBUS Francewhich is a precious chance to me and leads me to my future career.After this internship, I was recruited by SOGETI High Tech which isa subcontractor of AIRBUS and I’m working now on some projects ofstructure calculation on the AIRBUS family aircrafts. More-over, thistwo-year master is an international program with students comingfrom all over the word. Here, we got the chance to know the differentcultures and ways of thinking in different countries and we madegreat friendship which we will never forget».

■AimsThe Aeronautical industry market is facing a rapid andcontinuous increase worldwide as shown by the recordbreaking contracts recently signed by both Airbus and Boeing.These two industry leaders forecast an increase of close to 5%

in activity over the next years and estimations indicate thatthe annual increase of large commercial airplanes will inducea doubling of the number of aircraft by 2030. Nearly sixtypercent of the turnover is subcontracted all over the world andconcerns mostly production and manufacturing activities. Asa consequence most aeronautical subcontracting companieswill have to increase their production rates but also to keepup to date with technological changes; moving from metallicprocesses toward composite materials processes. Moreoverthe aircraft manufacturers have changed their supply chainstructure in the last years, and subcontractors are nowrequired to manage more complex parts and to take over, ontheir own, the qualification processes.

The Advanced Master course AMPAS, is designed by MinesAlbi and ISAE with the support of aeronautical industrypartners. It will give a specialization to master level studentsallowing them to take over high level responsibilities inairframe structure manufacturing plants. It is especially wellsuited to students who have followed general studies inmechanical engineering, material science or equivalent andwho would like to gain a major chance to be recruited byaeronautical industry.

To reach this goal, AMPAS master students will develop:

■ general knowledge of flight dynamics constrains and

airframe design

■ knowledge and understanding of the airframe materialsand processes and their qualification constrains

■ knowledge, understanding and practice of the prevalentprocesses for structural applications with either metallic orfiber reinforced thermoset composites materials

■ ability to use state of the art simulation tools for definition

and optimization of metallic sheet forming and RTM/infusion process

■ knowledge of the aeronautical supply chain structure andits communication rules

■ understanding of the aeronautic dedicated quality andmanagement requirements

MS ASAAAviation Safety Aircraft

■AimsAircraft airworthiness must be considered as a coherentprocess running from the design of the aircraft to themonitoring of its technical condition in airline service. TheMaster in Aviation Safety - Aircraft Airworthiness covers

both the technical aspects of certification and the legal andeconomic implications. This course has been designed togive future managers a broad understanding of the issuesand priorities which, as far as aeronautical construction isconcerned, have an international dimension.

Air transport deregulation and the development of a globaleconomy necessarily imply an increase in vigilance on behalfof both the regulatory authorities and the industry. Progressregarding safety has been constant. During the last 30 years,the accident rate per flight hour has been reduced by a factorof 10. This is becoming insufficient due to the considerableincrease in traffic. Current trends should encourage us to

make even more improvements, and this necessarily involvestrainings. The Master in Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthinesswill provide future operators with the key to success in timesto come.

«Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthiness”? What were your

objectives?

This 6-months theoretical – 6-month practical course is the perfectformat for people without a previous background in Aeronautics. Iwould say the only prerequisite is passion. It was my case, justfreshly graduated from a general Engineering degree. I decided to

follow this Advanced Master for specializing in Certification and

Airworthiness. It is a key-domain during the development a programbut also during its entire lifetime, as today Aviation is driven first bysafety and reliability, despite huge Industrial and Financial pressures.It requires a general overview of flying products and I was highlyinterested by this philosophy of getting a macroscopic vision insteadof working on limited sub-assemblies.

According to your experience, which are the strong assets of

the Master you did?

From my point of view, the strongest asset of this Master is toprovide key-knowledge in a wide range of technical, regulatoryand operational domains, delivered by academic and professionallecturers from the industrial world. I really enjoyed themultidisciplinary and various modules in Mechanics, Propulsions,System, Flight Mechanics, Certification, Airworthiness… Thesyllabus is really professional goal-oriented.Furthermore, the working conditions are also excellent with anenriching international environment; students coming from allover the world, with various academic or professional origins. Andeverything is framed by a tailor-made pedagogical supervision.

Hosted by ISAE, ENAC and the French Air Force Ecole de l’Air, thiscourse benefits from 3 global references in the aeronautical academicworld. It boosts strongly your CV with a significant aeronautical touch.

Which are your career plans ?

Following my graduation and after having been in contact with majorindustrial players, I have finally chosen to join a newly off-shoredesign office based in Dubai, UAE, where I’m working as engineer forcabin modification and certification. I have favored this internationalexperience for my early career, as it is an essential gateway in acareer plan, even more in the Aviation globalized marketplace. Ilive now in one of the most dynamic and cosmopolitan city in theworld, the new worldwide hub for aviation transport, and a powerfuldecisional center. My plan is first to gain experience before joining amajor manufacturer, airline or MRO or in a near future.

Nicolas CHATONNAY, France, Graduated in 2014, SoftwareArchitect at THALES ALENIA SPACEWhy did you choose ISAE and apply for our master? What were

your objectives?

After 10 years spent in the mobile phone industry as a software engineer,it was time for me to explore other industrial domains. I wanted to make apause in my professional career, first to refresh some of my competencies,second to get the key notions on embedded systems and finally to ease mycareer reorientation. From an engineer perspective, it is still good to seeother things and to challenge himself. This is why I decided to apply for theEmbedded Systems Advanced Master program.

According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the

Master you did?

One of the strongest assets of the Master are the conferences held byseveral engineers and researchers from various industries (automotive,

space, aeronautics). I really appreciated to hear their lectures and todialogue with them. In addition, «Embedded Systems» encompass numberof different topics such as software, hardware, networks, security, systemengineering, etc.. The other strong asset of this master is that it covers allthose main topics and provides the student key notions in various domains.

Which are your career plans?

After the master, I was hired in a R&D department of a french satellitemanufacturer. I use my previous professional experience and the additionalcompetencies learnt during the Master to propose innovative softwarearchitectures in order to address the next challenges of embedded systemsin Space industry.

Jon REGUEIRO, Spain, Graduated in 2013 , «Field ApplicationEngineer» at SIGFOXWhy did you choose ISAE and apply for our master? What were yourobjectives?ISAE is very well known because of its excellence on the aeronautics andspace domain. I chose this school because I am a passionate of aeronauticsand I wanted to get closer to this industry. Moreover, I considered theEmbedded Systems advanced master would help me add very competitiveskills to my Telecommunication Engineer background.

According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Masteryou did?This master helped me enlarge some competences I already hadthanks to my background (RF communications, VHDL programmingand networks). On the other hand, I got many classes on differentsubjects that I didn’t know and that, in my opinion, match the needs of a

challenging embedded system industry (Real time programming, controltheory, aeronautics and automotive systems etc).
