École supérieure de chimie physique électronique de Lyon

The École Supérieure Chimie Physique Electronique de Lyon ( CPE Lyon short ) was founded in 1994 as a merger of two grandes écoles, the Institut de Chimie et Physique Industrial de Lyon ( short ICPI Lyon ) and the École Supérieure de Chimie Industrielle de Lyon ( short ESCIL ) founded.

Statistics

Each year, 275 graduates will be awarded the Diplôme d' engineer CPE, including 150 in the Chemistry program / ​​process engineering and 125 students majoring in electronics / telecommunications / computer science. In addition, an in-house training in the field is still offered computer science / networks. About 500 scientific staff working in 11 scientific working groups, which are operated in collaboration with the CNRS and the University Claude Bernard Lyon 1. The university has a network of about 180 industrial partnerships with companies from home and abroad. In addition, partnerships with 77 universities.

A similar program with the Polytechnic University of Madrid.

A lively student life is organized by a variety of student clubs and high school groups. Offered is a photo club, Önologieclub, a video club and a variety of sports. In addition, a group of Ingénieurs sans frontières ( Engineers Without Borders ) and the Junior Enterprise, a student -run company, the external industrial partners of students exists provided services offers.
