École nationale supérieure de l'énergie, l'eau et l'environnement


The École nationale supérieure de l'énergie, l'eau et l'environnement is one of the engineering schools of the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble. As a grande école, students are admitted through a nationwide competitive examination. It was formed by the merger of the and the École nationale supérieure d'ingénieurs électriciens de Grenoble .

History

ENSIEG was created in 1908 to provide training for industrial electricians. ENSHM was later founded in 1929 to satisfy the demands of the local industries in Grenoble for graduating engineers in fluid mechanics and hydroelectricity. The two schools merged to establish Ense3 in 2008. Their merger occurred during the overhaul of the Grenoble Institute of Technology.
During President Sarkozy's , the Ense3 radically changed residence from the Ampère and Bergès campuses to the West campus.

Academics

The school provides engineering training in the fields of energy, water and environment. An engineering degree is awarded after completion of training.
Student recruitment is either through competitive polytechnic examinations or dedicated polytechnic preparatory schools that usually last for two years. Evidence of earlier degrees obtained from other universities could also serve as a foundation for admission.
The school offers training in the following specialties: multimedia signal and image communication systems, energy systems and energy markets, hydraulic structures and environments, electric power engineering, mechanical energy, energy engineering and nuclear engineering, automatic systems and information, and product engineering.
Degrees awarded at the Grenoble INP - Ense3 are equivalent to a Master's degree. Some of the programs are:
Three programs that are mainly taught in English, according to the school's website, are:

Research and industrial relations

Research laboratories

The research led teaching staff of the school work in the following laboratories:
  • 3S-R
  • G2Elab
  • G-SCOP
  • LEGI
  • LEPMI
  • LTHE
  • Rheologie Lab
  • SIMAP

Competitiveness cluster

The Tenerrdis Center, located on the school premises, was designed to develop energies for the future. It is focused on platforms of technology, de-localized energy production, and energy savings in the home, as well as electronics, signal and image processing.
