This preparatory year is specifically designed for students holding a French Baccalaureate who wish to transition into engineering programs at ÉTS (École de technologie supérieure). It focuses on developing practical and technical skills through hands-on learning and experimental projects. The program aims to foster autonomy and prepare students for university-level studies in an applied engineering context. Successful completion provides a solid foundation for bachelor's degree programs in Mechanical, Construction, or Aerospace Engineering.
Curriculum
The program consists of 31 credits spread over two sessions (Fall and Winter). Students must enroll full-time. In addition to the core courses, students must complete an introductory mathematics course before starting the Preparatory Year.
