Groupement des écoles d'aéronautique
The Groupement des écoles d'aéronautique (GEA France) (in English French aviation school network) includes three French engineering universities:[1]
- École nationale de l'aviation civile (ÉNAC), Aix-en-Provence, Carcassonne, Castelnaudary, Toulouse, Muret, Montpellier, Grenoble, Biscarosse, Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, Saint-Yan et Melun,
- École nationale supérieure de mécanique et d'aérotechnique (ISAE-ENSMA), Poitiers,
- Institut supérieur de l'aéronautique et de l'espace (ISAE), Toulouse.
The GEA is member of the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research.[2]
Project
The GEA universities have created the Institut sino-européen d'ingénierie de l'aviation of Tianjin[3] in partnership with French aerospace companies.[4] This is part of Franco-Chinese cooperation after an Airbus A320 assembly plant was built in Tianjin.[5]
The university, opened in October 2007, trains Chinese students. They follow a course in aerospace engineering, taught in French. After a first year of learning the French language, they follow a master's degree course in aeronautical engineering.
Not linked with the engineering training, three Mastères Spécialisés are also taught in Tianjin:[6]
