3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the Mines of Nancy

Called formerly 3Ecole Nationale Sup3erieure of the metallurgy and the industry of the mines , it is founded in 1919. It will take its current name later fifty years, to affirm the tightening of its bonds with the two other École des Mines (Paris and Saint-Etienne) at the time of its incorporation to INPL. This dual membership is marked by the assignment of uen chief technical officer, member of the Corps of the Mines and thus sharpened by this one.

Lesson

Training of civil engineers of the Mines

Training engineers general practitioners, the école des Mines of Nancy propose with its pupils FICM following specializations as from the second year:

  • Department Materials : functional materials - structural materials.
  • Department Energy: production and transformation : production, transformation, trading.
  • Department " Processes, Energy, Environnement" : Energy and environmental engineering of the industrial systems.
  • Department " Genius industriel" : Mathematical engineering - Engineering of the systems of decision and production - guided Transport.
  • Department " Informatique" (created since 1969): Engineering of the computing systems - Control of work of the computing systems - sure Design of the systems embarked into ambient - Bio-data processing.
  • Department " Géo-ingénierie" : Civil engineering and environment - Genius of the mineral resources and energy.

Formation specialized

Although less known than the training of civil engineers, other trainings are given by the école des Mines:

  • Training of engineers " Materials and management of production" , with the center even of the école des Mines

  • Training of engineers " Engineering of the conception" , with the Saint-Dié-of-Vosges

Reform of Bertrand Schwartz

The notoriety of the school takes a turn in 1957 with a reform launched by its director Bertrand Schwartz (brother of Laurent Schwartz). This one had addressed a questionnaire to hundreds of industrialists requiring of them: “Which knowledge do you wish to find in an outgoing engineer of an university of category has? ”. The examination of the questionnaire implies that a eight years course of studies would not be enough there.

It sends another questionnaire then: “Which are the disciplines which would make an engineer unusable for you if it did not control them? ”. The list becomes much more reasonable, and - thus reduced - allows to add new courses which are not yet present at the time in the other universities general practitioners. They will be initially the Statistiques, then the Informatique: Jean-François Abramatic, who will be president of the World Wide Web Consortium, is a former student of the Mines of Nancy.

Teaching also includes/understands courses of methodology as well as oral and body expression.

“Network of excellence”

The École des Mines of Nancy belong to three “networks of excellence”:
  • the Group of the École des Mines: union of seven schools sharing the same values and the same ambitions, the Group of the École des Mines proves to be a powerful tool for any mining engineer of Nancy. With their comrades of the Mines of Paris and Mines of Saint-Etienne, the pupils of Nancy indeed the same diploma (Civil engineer of the Mines), the same network (directory, review, Internet site…) and the same support for their professional trajectories: Intermines Careers, mutualisation of the forces of associations of former students.
  • ARTEM-Nancy: Art, Technology, Management, such are the alliance of the Mines of Nancy, the ICN-School of Management and the Art schools. This alliance goes much further that the traditional agreements between business schools and schools from engineer. Here, the partnership is not satisfied with a double-diploma engineer/to manage, as in other schools. This formation is of course possible with the help of one year of additional study; but alliance ARTEM, it is also an interbreeding of the cultures as of the first year of the cycle of engineer. Thus, engineers, managers and artists share joint courses, in the spirit of " the School of Nancy".
  • INPL: the Institut National Polytechnique of Lorraine makes it possible the École des Mines of Nancy to gain of visibility and to develop strong partnerships, in particular as regards research.

Striking facts

She undertook an alliance, Artem, with ICN, business school, and the ENSA, school of art, both of Nancy. These three Schools will divide soon the same campus in downtown area, and the pupils have the courses in commun runs right now.

Training courses

Training courses form integral part of the school course. Each training course is followed drafting of a report/ratio and a defense:

  • working Training course in first year (6 weeks, February-March), of which the goal is to discover social realities of the work world.

  • optional Training course of end of first year: the pupils can, if they wish it, carry out a training course in July - August at the end of their first year and do it conventionner by the school. This training course is optional.
  • Training course of assistant-engineer in second year (8 to 12 weeks, July-August - September): it aims on the one hand at putting the pupil in a situation of looking for a job and on the other hand to refine its professional choices
  • Stage of engineer in third year (25 weeks minimum, March-September): it very often proves to be a training course of pre-recruiting.

These training courses are also the occasion to obtain first track records abroad. On average, the pupils of the school pass nearly one year abroad. Being given the character general practitioner of the École des Mines, all the subjects of training course (including finance, management, project management…) can a priori be accepted, since they correspond to the personal project of the pupil.

The life coed

The life coed forms integral part of the architecture of the formation. The pupils learn there much in situation from autonomy. In addition, it is also the occasion for them to devote itself to their passions. The school gathers nearly 60 clubs and associations. Some examples of activities: club music, rock'n'roll, symphony orchestra, cinema, photograph, sport, circus, theater, burkin-action (humane voyage in Burkina-Fasso), support for pupils of ZEP in difficulty, visits of ill children at the hospital…

In addition, the BDE organizes many festivals and evenings, as well as voyages: in 2007, the pupils left time one prolonged weekend to Budapest and Amsterdam. The voyage of promotion then took for one week the direction of Barcelona.
