Active Science Training (FAS)

The Active Science Training section (FAS) takes in 24 students in the 1st year, from the scientific and technical baccalaureate (STI/STL) curriculum.

In this section, an innovative teaching approach is used to take the student from experimental stages to problem resolution, from the tangible to the abstract, via an analytical approach to situations and problems and diverse techniques for assimilating knowledge.

This teaching approach emphasises interdisciplinary workshops and autonomous work, and has a strong focus on ICTE (Information and Communication Technology applied to Education).
The evaluation strategy is based on the concept of skills assimilation, according to a defined reference set.

This teaching model ensures continuity with the school project culture, placing students in a learning situation, as active players in their own training.

Admission conditions

Only the students with the following profile are considered for the FAS section:

  • Students with a Baccalaureate STI (Industrial Science and Technology) in one of the seven areas of Industrial Engineering (Mechanical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Energy Engineering (Energetics), Materials Engineering, Optical Engineering).
     
  • Students with a Baccalaureate STL (Laboratory Science and Technology) in the following two specialisations: Laboratory Chemistry and industrial processes, Laboratory Physics and industrial processes).
     
  • Students having studied English as a first foreign language.
