Why Choose This Program?

The primary goal of the General Engineering Track is to build a strong foundation in core sciences while introducing students to digital technologies. Mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences form the backbone of this program and are essential for engineering studies.

ISEN Ouest enhances this scientific foundation with training in essential digital tools, ensuring students are well-prepared for any of the 15 professional domains offered after the three-year General Track. Teamwork and project-based learning are key components of this program.

Because becoming an engineer means more than mastering technical skills, students also take courses in humanities, economics, and social sciences, as well as foreign languages including English, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Japanese.
