Building the CentraleSupélec engineering curriculum
The design of the new curriculum, which will be held launched in September 2018, is one of CentraleSupélec's most important projects, affording us a unique opportunity to directly respond to the needs of society, employers and students; to rethink our pedagogy and to position ourselves within complex educational and societal issues.
The objectives assigned to the new curriculum are many, because it will have to equip engineering students with all the skills, abilities and values that the 21st century demands, and to contextualise their educational journey with regard to their professional ambitions and, more broadly, their lives.
This new curriculum is built on deep philosophical belief that if knowledge is the foundation of all learning, acquiring that knowledge cannot be reduced to mere accumulation. CentraleSupélec’s new curriculum will mark a significant detour from conventional student-teacher hierarchies and place our students within a dynamic centre stage, where learning itself is approached as a complex system. The new curriculum will focus on developing the skills of students to deal with situations in their entirety, with relevance, efficiency, creativity and sense of responsibility and most of all, to do so autonomously.
A new program in 2018
The students who will join the School in September 2018 in 1st year will be the first to follow the new curriculum, and graduate in 2021 as engineers from CentraleSupélec.
