12 Masters of Science testimonies HUAN Qianjiao, China, Graduated in 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 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 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. 12

13 ISAE research - oriented - education principles 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. Masters of Science in English 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 Midi- Pyrénées 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. 13

14 Aeronautical Maintenance and Support ms AMS Aims The global and booming aviation market is characterized by low volumes, highly complex products with long lifecycles and high values, governed by restrictive regulatory requirements, with constant safety concerns and with a huge growth in the aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul business (MRO). MRO plays a key role for defence and aviation industry encompassing a wide range of complex activities: engine overhaul, heavy checks, line maintenance, component maintenance, and major airframe modifications. Through regular maintenance, MRO ensures the continued airworthiness and operational safety of aircraft, and therefore the safety of passengers. Beyond, it ensures aircrafts meet the rigorous certification, safety, or standards set by international authorities such as ICAO, EASA and FAA. Today, the aviation industry is facing tremendous challenges. To compete, aviation companies in all segments must strengthen their ability to increase productivity and production rates with products and services that meet customer demands, with a focus on continuous critical assessment of cost and performance. So, the continued support for MRO is an intrinsic part of aeronautical and maintenance manager, including service lifecycle management, service organizations, configuration management, reducing costs and improving service quality. The objectives of the Master in Aeronautical Maintenance and Support are to provide students with up-to-date exposure to modern techniques and methods, know-how, regulations and standards applied in aviation industry, putting the emphasis on life cycle cost management making services more profitable, available and reliable. The master MS AMS aims at providing a wide range of knowledge from engineering basics to management of maintenance organisation in the respect of international regulations within Integrated Logistics Support methods. Merging academic teachings, up-to-date ILS and Maintenance concepts delivered by experts from industry and authorities, it prepares attendees to face, successfully, the competitive and fast changing MRO worldwide business. With the Master in Aeronautical Maintenance and Support, ISAE has made a significant improvement to answer to the current needs of manufacturers, design offices and customers support departments, airlines, MRO and authorities.

TESTIMONY 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! Advanced Masters in English 15

16 Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthiness (ISAE - ENAC - école des Officiers de l Armée de l Air) ms ASAA Aims 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.

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.
