12 testimonies Masters of Science in English SUNDAY Cecily, USA, student MSc AMA I applied to the ISAE master s program because I was looking for a graduate school that would provide me with both a strong academic and personal challenge. In the end, I chose this program over my other options because it best satisfied these two goals. On one hand, the academic schedule, which includes a balance of lecture, research, and work components, matched my subject interests and learning objectives. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in a foreign language and experience first-hand a different culture. Consequently, I have found that one of the strongest assets of this program is the opportunity to work alongside a culturally diverse group of peers. The international aspect of this program creates a number of unique opportunities that would not be possible otherwise. For example, I was able to choose a research project where I collaborate simultaneously with US and French space agencies. From a personal standpoint, I now have friends from across the world that I can visit and host. Following this program, I would like to work in a research lab in either Europe or the United States in order to develop cutting edge space system technologies. I may also decide to continue my education by pursing a PhD. Though I don t have a fully defined career plan at this time, I am confident that I will have many interesting opportunities to choose from. 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-year master 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». Pau LATORRE - Spain, engineer at Airbus - Graduated in MSc AESS Why did you choose ISAE and apply for our master? What were your objectives? 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 Master you 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. 11

13 Chairs and industrial partnerships The Safety-Critical Embedded Systems Chair EADS Corporate Foundation has signed a partnership agreement with three engineering schools in Toulouse, ISAE, INSA and INP-ENSEEIHT to create the safety-critical Embedded SystEms Chair - CESEC.

14 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

15 Aeronautical Maintenance and Support ms AMS 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. MS AMS is the only one in Europe which addresses both Maintenance and Integrated Logistics Support for civil and military aviation business in an integrated program. 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.

What were your objectives? I chose ISAE advanced master 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! 15

17 ms ASAA Aviation Safety Aircraft Airworthiness (ISAE - ENAC - école de l Air) 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.

19 Advanced Manufacturing Processes for Aeronautical Structures (ISAE - école des mines d Albi) 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 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. To reach this goal, AMPAS master students will develop: > > general knowledge of flight dynamics constrains and airframe design > > knowledge and understanding of the airframe materials and processes and their qualification constrains > > knowledge, understanding and practice of the prevalent processes for structural applications with either metallic or fiber reinforced thermoset composites materials > > ability to use state of the art simulation tools for definition and optimization of metallic sheet forming and RTM/ infusion process > > knowledge of the aeronautical supply chain structure and its communication rules > > understanding of the aeronautic dedicated quality and management requirements > > knowledge and practice of lean manufacturing tools > > ability to undertake manufacturing projects in an international team environment > > ability to communicate with written reports and by oral presentation.
