The 2nd year takes place under apprentice status, on a work-study program mainly monthly school company.

The 3rd year under apprentice status, is composed of a semester of training and a semester in a company.

From the first semester, the follow-up of each student is personalized, within a class of about thirty students with support in particular to access an internship in the 1st year and an apprenticeship position from the 2nd year. These in-company experiences allow a concrete discovery of the targeted professions and promote integration among our partner companies.

The training places particular emphasis on project-based pedagogy, technicality, the company's culture as well as transversal teaching (soft skills) that meet the requirements of the maintenance profession.

The sense of concreteness is privileged with a balance of theory / practice / innovation.

Numerous practical works allow the mastery of the tools associated with the profession and its future developments.

Four major projects punctuate the curriculum, and others are implemented in the modules, starting in the first semester. In the 2nd year, the subjects of the projects are given by companies or the Research Institute of the IRSEEM school

The share of practice (practical work and projects) corresponds to a third of the pedagogical activities in the 1st year. It increases throughout the curriculum, as does the degree of autonomy of the students.

The ESIGELEC Research Laboratory in Embedded Electronic Systems (IRSEEM) allows a first discovery of the world of research through visits and meetings with researchers and doctoral students.

A "monitoring and benchmarking" course allows you to discover the research environment and the job of a researcher. It also aims to clarify the link between industry and research and to carry out a monitoring project in a trinomial format. This teaching is provided by IMT Nord Europe.

The MSIC Bachelor's degree course involves an international internship in order to open up to other cultures, and to create a network. Lasting a minimum of 4 consecutive weeks, it takes place between April and the end of August of the 2nd year, during the work-study period.
