Innovating projects as a pedagogical strategy for the French network for education in microelectronics and nanotechnologies
Résumé
The training in microelectronics and nanotechnologies in France is structured as a national network since more than 30 years. This network is composed of 12 regional common centers including technological and design facilities. The network mission is to support animation and educational activities in this field at a national level. The strategy of innovative projects to maintain both quality and attractiveness to students has been established since 2006. This approach has been reinforced by the support of specific multiannual programs since 2009 and more especially in the frame of Excellence Initiative Program (IDEFI). The first achievements of these pedagogical projects have already been transferred to the menus of the common centers and have already showed all their interest as well at master and engineer degrees, as doctorate studies and lifelong learning.
