Research

Questions the country needs answered.

Earthquakes, water scarcity, the energy transition: the school’s laboratories work on the engineering problems that matter most here, and train the doctors who will keep working on them.

Laboratories

Selected research laboratories

The school has twelve accredited laboratories. Each one hosts doctoral candidates and supports teaching in the specialties it serves.

Doctoral training

Becoming a doctor in engineering

Doctoral candidates are admitted each year through the national doctoral competition, open to holders of a master’s or engineering degree.

They prepare their thesis in one of the school’s laboratories, under the supervision of its professors, and defend it in a public examination.

  1. National doctoral competition
  2. Thesis in a laboratory
  3. Publications and seminars
  4. Public defence
