Masters of Science

testimonies HUAN Qianjiao, China, Graduated in 2010 - MSc AMA After I got my bachelor degree at BUAA (Beijing University of Aeronautics and Aerospace), I heard that there is an opportunity of the AIRBUS scholarship program to study the Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics at ISAE. As ISAE is the best European school for aeronautics, I’m very grateful for AIRBUS and ISAE gave me this opportunity to make my dream come true. During the two years at ISAE, we had classes not only in technologies but also in lots of other domains, such as management, language and culture. More than half of the classes are given by professors who are come from the industrial companies, AIRBUS, CNES, ONERA, EUROCOPTER, etc. We learnt the knowledge by a more professional way with helps a lot in our future career. The internship which took place at the last semester gives us a great opportunity to link what we have learnt at school to what we are going to do as a job in the future. For me, I have performed a six months internship at AIRBUS France which is a precious chance to me and leads me to my future career. After this internship, I was recruited by SOGETI High Tech which is a subcontractor of AIRBUS and I’m working now on some projects of structure calculation on the AIRBUS family aircrafts. More over, this two years mater is an international program with students coming from all over the word. Here, we got the chance to know the different cultures and ways of thinking in different countries and we made great friendship which we will never forget». SUN Bin, China, Teacher at an aeronautic University, Graduated in 2011 - MSc AMA Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were your objectives ? I am a master student of MSc in Aerospace Engineering at ISAE, and I am specialized in Aeronautical Structures. Because I work at an aeronautic university in China, to be able to be a teacher I need to acquire a higher diploma and specifically in aeronautical structures, I choose to pursue the two-year engineering master degree in ISAE now. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did ? First of all, I have learned a lot of associated courses about my future work such as structure mechanics, modeling analysis, CATIA, composite materials, acoustics and mechanics of laminated structures, calculation structures, landing gear, and so on. For the software part, I have obtained many experiences from workshops with SAMCEF, Patran/Nastran, CATIA,

MATLAB, and COMSOL. In addition, I have one year of research experience in Supaero participating in the study of the Effect of Heat Generation in a High Frequency Solicited Composite Beam, which combines the theory part I have learned and the practice. This research experience not only developed my professional knowledge but also enhanced my practical skills. Besides, I have finished my design project in ENSICA campus, which is about the center wing box conception project. I am in charge of the structure design in CATIA, detailed calculation of the loads and analysis of the fatigue life of the center wing box. I have learned a lot from this, and I know how to cooperate in team-work. And I think all of these mentioned above should be the strong assets of DNM AMA I have choosed. Which are your career plans ? To persue this master program is a crucial step in my future career. After the graduation, I will go back to China and try my best to be a good teacher in my university, and many thanks for ISAE to offer me profound knowledge and devoted attention. Pau LATORRE - Spain, engineer of Airbus - Graduated in 2012 - MSc AESS Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were yourobjectives ? I chose ISAE because of its reputation as I knew that Supaero and ENSICA where among the top aerospace colleges in Europe. Also Toulouse is the center of the the aerospace community in Europe and so I regarded it as positive for my career prospects if I wanted to orientate my professional future in this field. My objectives, as my previous education was in another field of engineering, were to provide myself with a high-level formal education in aeronautics. This way I could migrate from telecom engineering to aerospace engineering and pursue a career in aviation which is my biggest passion. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Masteryou did ? The stronger assets would be the strong ties to the aerospace industry in Toulouse, and the fact that many of the lecturers in the courses come from it. This means that you get to be taught by real-life engineers who are working in actual aerospace projects presently, and thus are not just devoted to academics as happens too often. Personally, I am specially attracted by the fact that many lecturers come from Airbus. Which are your career plans ? I wish to work for Airbus, if possible in flight test engineering.

ISAE master teaching is founded on research-education-interwoven policy in order to offer master’s students to participate in a wide variety of research opportunities throughout their master course and beyond. ISAE is deeply committed in providing its students access to its research capabilities as well as its academic and industrial partnerships, covering the entire fields of aerospace engineering. From a research policy point of view, the double objective is to provide knowledge production as well as response to society and aerospace industrial needs. ISAE main research partners are ONERA (the French Aerospace Lab.), LAAS-CNRS and OMP, the largest French laboratories in the engineering sciences and space sciences fields, respectively. ISAE is involved into longterm research and development agreements with the main European aerospace companies: EADS (Astrium, Airbus, Eurocopter, IW), SAFRAN (Snecma, Turbomeca, Microturbo, Technofan), Thales Alenia Space, Rockwell-Collins, MBDA, Liebherr Aerospace. As a result of its commitment into aerospace higher education and research, ISAE is part of the management of the Aerospace Valley cluster (550 companies and education and research partners from Aquitaine and Midi-Pyrénées Regions). ISAE scientific activities are organized into 4 training and research departments and one aerospace center. >> The department of aerodynamics, energetics and propulsion (DAEP) develops its research activities on four axes: > turbulence, instabilities and numerical simulation > turbomachinery and propulsion > advanced aerodynamics and flow control > aerodynamics and propulsion of micro-air-vehicles. DAEP benefits from noteworthy experimental facilities as a large wind-tunnel (with an elliptic 2 x 3 m wide test section), a low-Reynolds number quiet wind-tunnel, a double-flux turbojet engine mounted on a fully instrumented test-bank, a centrifugal compressor, and a turbocharger testbank. The department also relies on local computational means and on the largest French academic simulation facilities to carry out numerical simulations with commercial and research codes. >> The department of mechanical engineering, structures and materials is part of the Clément Ader Institute that gathers in a single laboratory all the research capabilities of the MidiPyrénées Region (UPS, INSA, ISAE, Mines Albi). ISAE professors’ research is focused on > damage to composite materials in aerospace structures > fatigue of metal materials and structures > dynamics of structures > advanced numerical methods for mechanics. Again ISAE strongly supports this research by developing and sustaining large facilities like a drop tower (200 kg, 10 m/s), a rapid impact bench (500 g, 200 m/s), hydraulic fatigue machines, climatic chambers, modular frames for structure testing (wings…) and analysis and control means

(XRay spectrometer, nano-indenter, ultrasonic and radiographic non-destructive testing, scanning electron microscopy). >> The electronics, optronics and signal department is organized into 4 research groups: > microwaves and optronics for embedded systems > CMOS imagers performance improvement and design (CIMI Group) > signal, communication, antennas and navigation (SCAN Group) > space instrumentation (SSPA group). The environment comprises a set of optical and optronic characterization benches, a CMOS imager design center, space telecommunication characterization and simulation benches. The CIMI group is involved into the EADS Astrium – ISAE chair CRISTAL with several world firsts in imager development for space applications. The SCAN group is part of the TeSA joint laboratory with Thalès Alenia Space, CNES and Rockwell Collins on Telecommunications for Space and Aeronautics. The SSPA team has developed a strong partnership with the 2 French largest space laboratories OMP and IPGP, and is the head of instrument development work packages in European and International projects in the frame of CNES, NASA and JAXA missions. >> The department of mathematics, computer sciences and control develop methods, techniques and tools that make it possible to understand, analyze, evaluate, control and design the functional and operational behavior and performances of complex systems. The MARS team (modeling and architecture of systems) is structured around three axes: > mathematical modeling and numerical simulation > critical system engineering > communication networks, this third axis being developed together with LAAS-CNRS and contributing to the TeSA joint laboratory. The ADIS team (control decision and interaction of systems) deals with > automatics and flight dynamics > autonomy and decision-making, including man-machine interfacing. Four platforms support this research: emulation and communication networks, cooperative robotics, parallel and distributed computing, and embedded system engineering. >> Finally, the aerospace center (CAS) provides unique facilities such as a full flight simulator and a fleet of 10 aircraft dedicated to training, research and Flight Test experiments. This center is hosting the research on man-machine interfacing. All four departments and CAS support a Micro-aerial vehicle development program at an international level, on the basis of student projects, research and innovation projects, and international competitions.

Andrej SIMCENKO, Lithuania, Graduated in 2011 Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were yourobjectives ? I chose ISAE SM AMS because of two reasons: 1. Maintenance is much more interesting than manufacture, because work itself moves you towards new challenges every single day. Every day you experience something new, always trying to find new approaches to given tasks that might ease up the process, etc. - it’s motivating! 2. I have passion for aviation in general - I cannot imagine myself without it, and here in Toulouse, in the heart of European civil aviation I really feel like at home. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did ? One of the strong key points is that people who gave us lectures were not just professors with theoretical knowledge, but simple guys who work on their subject that puts food on their table, and now they come to us, to transfer their knowledge gained not through reading endless number of books, but having valuable experience in their work domain. Which are your career plans ? Stay in France. I have my contract signed with company in Toulouse that manufactures ground support equipment and tooling for aircrafts. I think that it’s good start for my professional life because over here I’m seeing equipment that is dedicated to perform maintenance. But I’m sure, that if not for this master in ISAE, I would never been able to find something even close like this!

Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthiness

(ISAE - ENAC - école des Officiers de l’Armée de l’Air) mS ASAA

Aims

Pedagogical approach

Aircraft airworthiness must be considered as a coherent process running from the design of the aircraft to the monitoring of its technical condition in airline service. The Master in Aviation Safety – Aircraft Airworthiness covers both the technical aspects of certification and the legal and economic implications. This course has been designed to give future managers a broad understanding of the issues and priorities which, as far as aeronautical construction is concerned, have an international dimension. Air transport deregulation and the development of a global economy necessarily imply an increase in vigilance on behalf of both the regulatory authorities and the industry. Progress regarding safety has been constant. During the last 30 years, the accident rate per flight hour has been reduced by a factor of 10. This is becoming insufficient due to the considerable increase in traffic. Current trends should encourage us to make even more improvements, and this necessarily involves trainings. The Master in Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthiness will provide future operators with the key to success in times to come.

First semester: academic session of 18 courses from September to March, provided by permanent professors of ISAE, ENAC & EA and experts from aerospace industry giving their current knowledge and experience, including: lectures, tutorials, Practical sessions, visits of industries (Airbus, CEAT, etc.). Second semester: students have to conduct a professional thesis in aerospace industry or in laboratory, in France or abroad, supervised by a tutor from the host organisation and from ISAE or ENAC. The thesis is concluded by the preparation of a report and an oral dissertation in front of jury.

Advanced Manufacturing Processes for Aeronautical Structures ms AMPAS

Aims The Aeronautical industry market is facing a rapid and continuous increase worldwide as shown by the record breaking contracts recently signed by both Airbus and Boeing. These two industry leaders forecast an increase of close to 5% in activity over the next years and estimations indicate that the annual increase of large commercial airplanes will induce a doubling of the number of aircraft by 2030. Nearly sixty percent of the turnover is subcontracted all over the world and concerns mostly production and manufacturing activities. As a consequence most aeronautical subcontracting companies will have to increase their production rates but also to keep up to date with technological changes; moving from metallic processes toward composite materials processes. Moreover the aircraft manufacturers have changed their supply chain structure in the last years, and subcontractors are now required to manage more complex parts and to take over, on their own, the qualification processes. The Advanced Master course AMPAS, is designed by Mines Albi and ISAE with the support of aeronautical industry partners. It will give a specialization to master level students allowing them to take over high level responsibilities in airframe structure manufacturing plants. It is especially well suited to students who have followed general studies in mechanical engineering, material science or equivalent and who would like to gain a major chance to be recruited by aeronautical industry.

TESTIMONY Dimitrios Filis, Greece, Graduated in 2012

Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master? What were your objectives? ISAE is a world class research and teaching Institute, offering high standards of education. Before studying there, I knew that I would have the great opportunity to deal with important Professors, share academic life with scientists from all over the world and live in Toulouse, which is the heart of Europe’s aerospace industry and also offers a wide variety of cultural activities and beautiful natural landscapes. Besides that, my undergraduate studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering sharpened my focus on the specific area and my diploma thesis in aircraft recognition and tracking, made real what I had imagined as a complete real-time embedded system. The combination of these two fields of computer science, software and hardware, was the most intriguing part of my undergraduate studies, and led my enthusiasm to learn in more detail how embedded systems work and how they are programmed in order to produce an embedded electronic device. In my opinion, in the intermediate level between hardware and software, lies the more fascinating field of computer science called embedded systems, which in terms of limitations, such as computational and electrical power, is the most challenging. Embedded systems are everywhere. Everyone, with or without knowledge, is using embedded systems every day. From digital televisions to mobile phones and from cars to household appliances, every embedded system is interesting. The complexity of these devices and the difficulties arising by their demands in efficiency and usability place them high in the technological achievements list of the 21st century. Their production spreads in a great range of markets, from the least to the most critical one, such as medical instruments. Only engineers with an integrated specialized background will be able to give efficient solutions. Consequently, I consider “Embedded Systems” to be one of the most enticing and compelling fields of study. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did? The fact that the program is supported by the embedded systems industry brings the advantage of gaining specialized knowledge on this field, while exploring and discovering new technologies and understanding the market demands with the direction of the industry experts. In that way the program offers numerous career opportunities, which will obviously benefit the job pursuit process. The industry placement during the second semester of the program gives the opportunity of learning in practice what was taught during the first semester by combining and applying the knowledge gained through the different projects and lab sessions at ISAE and at ENSEEIHT. Additionally, ISAE is a well-known “Grande École” with high admission standards caring not only about its students’ high technical skill level but also for promoting their multinational culture and spirit, and, in that way, contributing to a creative and dynamic work environment. In such an environment, where the exchange of ideas is cultivated and the share of experiences is fostered, the students have the opportunity to benefit from their valuable collaboration and to feel comfortable while enjoying their studies. Last but not least, life in Toulouse is really enjoyable. Toulouse, 4th largest city in France and 2nd in student population, offers a wide variety of different activities.(…) Which are your career plans? (…) The combination of a highly appreciated diploma from ISAE and the experience gained through the 4 to 6-month industry placement plays an important role on the job pursuing process. Personally, the “Advanced Master in Embedded Systems” boosted the number of contacts I had for job interviews, and through the relationships I have built this whole year I have developed a strong network. This network ensures now a dynamic and successful career which is about to start in the near future.

My objectives were to work on mathematics, aviation, and aeronautical engineering subjects in French, in order to expand my knowledge of French engineering practice and begin my training as a Flight Test Engineer. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did ? The greatest strength of the MSIEVEX program for me was the wealth of expertise available through our instructors and administrators, even in a short course like ours (only two months, during the summer). I am grateful that so many talented and knowledgeable professors dedicate their summer weeks to working with the MSIEVEX students. I also appreciate the inclusion of our Alliance professor and the French language course, because as a foreign student, having an excellent French teacher to complement the purely technical subjects was imperative. I will know more about the specific strengths of the ISAE MSIEVEX program working together with the Program A stage at EPNER after I have spent more time at EPNER! Which are your career plans ? I will return to the United States in September 2012 to work as a Flight Test Engineer (Rotary-Wing specialty). I will spend at least three years in a FTE-RW job, and then I will build on that experience as an engineer and a field grade officer in the US Air Force.

CPT Luca S. Parmitano, Air Force Italia, Graduated in 2009, selected by ESA I was selected by my government for this advanced master which is related to the EPNER test pilot school course. As the master is still taught in French, I wish give advice future students to learn french, it will help in learning the french culture, which in turn will help them to better understand the courses, even when they are in english. Plus, knowing the language will help them enjoy the beautiful city. Regarding my career, let’s say the master helped me get my future job: in September 2009, I joined the European Space Agency to start astronaut training».

testimony Pauline Dixon, Great Britain, Graduated in 2012 Why did you choose ISAE and apply for the advanced master «Electronique et télécommunications aérospatiales» ? I chose ISAE partly beause of its reputation in the space domain, and also because of the quality of its teaching. I chose the MS «Electronique et télécommunications aérospatiales» as this Advanced Master matched most closely my interests, and the fact it is mostly taught in French appealed to me as French is not my mother tongue and I wanted to improve my technical French. According to your experience, which are the strenghts of the master you did ? This Master covers a broad spectrum of subjects, with a good mix of lectures and practical work. The quality of the teaching is very high, with a significant percentage of the lecturers being professionals working in the industry who communicate not only the state-of-the-art but also their passion for their respective fields. Which are your career plans ? I am currently applying for posts in the signal processing discipline, confident that the skills I have acquired this year, both through the taught courses and the placement in industry, will enable me to further my career in the aerospace industry.

Roberto G. MANJARREZ GARDUNO, Mexico, Graduated in 2009 I chose ISAE because I know that is one of the best aerospace engineering schools not only in France, in Europe and also around the world. In fact, I have spoken also with professors and engineers of other institutions and they agree that ISAE is the best higher institution of aeronautics studies in Europe for studies and research. During the one-year study, I have learnt really a lot of things, not only academic, also about the life. The most important thing is to know that we are able to do a lot of things working more, to have more patience and confidence thanks to the strong support of ISAE’s professors». Pierre GAMBIER, France, Graduated in 2011 Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master ? What were your objectives ? My previous school was a general engineering school. Although it gave me a good overview of the engineering world, it left me a taste of unaccomplishment in the field I liked : structure. I came out of my previous enginnering degree with a pretty good file and recommandations, so I applied for the master’s

degrees at ISAE with the objectives of acquiring more technical and specialised knowledge on aerospace structure and gain a recognise expertise in this field. According to your experience, which are the strong assets of the Master you did ? The first strongest asset of the SAS master is the uniqueness and quality of the teaching and the teachers. We had access to the knowledge of former or current renown industrial specialists in each topic we studied, turning each lesson into very a special moment where we could learn from the very best !! The second storngest assets of the SAS master and of all the ISAE master’s is the renown of the school. Having ISAE on a resume really makes a difference in the recruitment process, and the expertise we gain during the formation is really recognised by the recruiters Which are your career plans ? Working in airbus in the Structure engineering field. Currently I’m starting to work as an Aircraft Stress Solution Engineer for the A350 XWB program, supporting the use of new Finite Element Model softwares.
