Genie Industriel
Grenoble INP - Génie Industriel or ENSGI is the successor of HMG- Hydraulic and Work Engineering. Created more than 20 years ago, it formed now a bit more of one hundred students every year specialized in Conception/ Development of new products ( IDP) or in Logistics and Supply Chain (ICL).
Localized in Grenoble near of the railway station, it is the center of innovations in many fields due to the dynamic induced by its laboratories - G-SCOP, GI-Nova ... - and the region - the business activity area of Grenoble is one of the most dynamic in France.
The formation in mainly based on projects and personal experimentations in order to offer us a formation international competitive in the world market. Moreover, the school welcomed every semester around 30 Erasmus or Explor'a students to offer them a quality formation coupled with a discovery of a new culture.
I have to confess I only know Grenoble for it climate and its sports. Génie Industriel was not even my first choice until the last moment.
But now I'm into it, I feel very lucky because I discover a formation and a quality of education which matched perfectly with my desires. The multi-culturalism of the city with a lot of Erasmus students strengthened my willingness to discover other culture and ways to work.
I'm now a second year and I choose the Conception way because I want to be able, with only one idea, to create a viable product and by viable I mean competitve, attractive and unavoidable in respect of challenges of the future.
I had various opportunities when I passed my competitive examens at the end of my preparatory classes but I never find another formation to satisfy such this desire.
