A message from the school

The USA is attractive for French students with over 80 ENSAM students each year in the USA (In 2013, 23 students were admitted to MSc programs in  top American universities, 25 in the double degree program with Georgia Institute of Technology and  over 25 students in internships in industry thanks to the Shasta program), but we must also try to attract American students to France. Our strategy in the USA is to build on research collaborations in order to develop partnerships in research and education. Partnership agreements have already been signed with Akron, Texas Tech and Iowa State University. In the near future agreements will be signed with Texas A&M and Clemson University, thanks to the strong collaborations between researchers. Partnerships will include research activities and related academic exchanges with an aim at balancing exchanges both ways through summer schools, semester exchanges, double degree programs, and internships in laboratories or in industry. We hope we can count on your help!

Internships
The Shasta Program
Now that school is back in session, students are eagerly searching for internship opportunities and the chance to gain international experience. The Shasta Program, AFAM's internship program with the school, is beginning, and we count on our US-based alumni to continue to provide excellent opportunities for young Gadz'Arts to gain international internship experience. If you or your organization would like to have an ENSAM student as an intern, please contact the US Representative, here.

US Representative for AFAM & the school 
 
US RepWith the start of the academic school year comes new and exciting things for AFAM! Students are now actively looking for internships, to begin in January or February 2014. We depend on our alumni to support these young engineers. If your organization would like to host an ENSAM intern, please do not hesitate to contact AFAM.

This November I will be traveling to France and visiting several ENSAM campuses. I hope to meet as many of the AFAM and ENSAM community as possible during my time there.
