Automotive & Aeronautics Design Program

« WHERE LEARNING MEETS DISCOVERY The experience at ESTACA is a great combination of learning and exploring. My decision to enroll in this school was driven by its strong reputation and the success of its alumni working in major motorsport teams, and the ADD program certainly didn’t disappoint. One of the most exciting parts of the semester was working on a Formula Student front wing simulation using CFD, a project that allowed me to apply engineering theory to a real challenge. However, what truly makes the experience meaningful is the international environment. Collaborating with classmates from so many cultural backgrounds helped me strengthen my teamwork skills, and I was fortunate to make lifelong friends from the USA, Morocco, and Germany. Outside of class, living in France was an adventure of its own. I had the opportunity to visit Paris, explore its landmarks, and immerse myself in its culture, making this exchange a truly unforgettable experience. I will always remember my time as a student at ESTACA and I recommend the program to anyone looking for a meaningful and challenging experience. »

« The AAD program provides a hands-on introduction to advanced engineering software programs, and ESTACA’s expertise in multiple industries means student projects closely reflect real-world scenarios. I thoroughly enjoyed having a more selective program size, which was an advantage in more ways than one. It helped our class form close connections exploring Paris and traveling to other countries, while maintaining flexibility and encouraging one-on-one discussions with professors. Participating in this program has given me skills to succeed working in multicultural teams, especially because of the Technical Project and the French Language and Culture classes. I appreciated the opportunity to learn from professors whose work closely corresponded to the project they mentored, and ESTACA’s school culture was fun and collaborative. I would encourage anyone interested in developing both technical and soft skills to consider applying! »
