Why study in GEM ?


Academic programs > Information and communication sciences and technologies and applied mathematics

Computer sciences and applied maths are an integral part of the engineering skills taught at the GEM schools. They are particularly relevant to Industrial Engineering by providing modeling tools (discrete mathematics, probability and statistics. In addition, a certain number of tools and concepts are common to both ICST and Applied Mathematics and Industrial Engineering, e.g. Petri nets and Artificial Intelligence which is much used in decision-making.

The GEM offers a wide range of majors in computer science : design, development and management of computer ystems, , company information systems, networks, computer integrated manufacturing etc..
Graduates find employment in large companies which rely on electronic information systems, companies specialized in computer engineering or consulting agencies

The GEM schools also offer Doctoral studies in this field.

Each major is taught in at least one school and some schools offer several computer science majors.

 
Programs leading to the "Diplôme d'ingénieur"

EMAlès

image Major: Information Technology
Goal: to teach broad and comprehensive skills not only in software engineering and the architecture of information systems, but also in artificial intelligence (data processing, knowledge extraction, representation of knowledge, combinatorial optimisation, programming by constraints etc.) as well as image and sound processing.

 
EMDouai

image Major: Information and Communication Systems Technology
Goal: to form engineers in information systems who possess broad and in depth skills thanks to a prolonged training period within a company.

Goal: to form future managers capable of modeling company problems, solving identified problems, creating and using dashboards and decision making software

image Major: Organisation and Management of Information Technologies
Goal: to provide skills in two specific areas - organisation sciences and information technology.
Career opportunities: consultancy, IT services and departments and various types of company head offices.

 
EMNancy

image Major: in Information Systems Engineering
Goal: to form general information systems engineers with the following objectives:
to provide the future engineer with a sound basis in computer science so that he/she may be highly responsive in the continuously changing environment of high-technology
to train the student to be thorough and practised at high-level conception and analysis
to familiarise the student with management tools and tools used for piloting IT projects.
Career Opportunities: design, project management and the architecture of IT solutions adapted to their environment.

image Major: Design and Management of Information Systems
Goal: to form general information systems engineers who use their knowledge and general engineering background to find the appropriate solution to an IT problem, in other words the right tools for the right hands. The trained engineer can master the change and development in computer systems, understand the company's information systems and takes into account both the human and technological factors as well as any risks linked to the systems and their evolution.

image Major: Bio-informatics
Goal: to provide a sound basis in computer science based on the Majors in Information Systems Engineering and Design and Management of Information Systems within the specialized area of study described under Bio-engineering

 
EMSaint-Etienne

image Major: Computer Science
Goal: to form engineers specialised in computing (programming software design, consulting software design, information systems for companies).

image Major: IT Technologies for Companies
Goal : to provide skills in company management as well as computer science skills

image Major: Computer Science R&D
Goal: to provide specialized skills in Web Intelligence, information paths, co-operation and interaction.
