The new course will be partly taught in English, and will make use of current active teaching techniques. The new program will be based primarily on learning by doing in contextualized situations, through a structured set of teaching units, several internships (including one in a hospital setting), projects and the final thesis, all supervised by ECAM teaching staff and experts in the field.

As a result, the future ECAM engineer in health engineering will have to be versatile and his or her assets in the socio-professional world can be broken down into three areas:

1. Combined knowledge of engineering techniques, project management tools, the regulatory framework for medical devices and the economic aspects of healthcare. This enables us to better define user needs, support healthcare professionals, design innovative technologies, objectively evaluate project results, assist decision-making, and efficiently seek financial and logistical resources.

2. Ability to work and communicate in collaborative, multidisciplinary approaches with different healthcare stakeholders (engineers, clinicians, patients, industrialists, authorities, etc.) in order to implement effective innovation and entrepreneurship processes.

3. Ongoing commitment to improving the quality of healthcare, the clinical effectiveness of treatments and patient safety, while respecting human, economic, environmental and ethical values, and striving for constant personal and professional development.

Holders of a bachelor's degree in industrial engineering will have full access to this new training program (or any diploma recognized as equivalent at academic level).

Holders of short bachelor's degrees in electronics, electromechanics, IT and systems (or any diploma recognized as equivalent at academic level) will be eligible for additional training.
