Double degree in engineering and architecture

The combination of architecture and engineering, two complementary cultures, enables you to design a project in its entirety and combine technical and aesthetic thinking. The ability to understand technical constraints, to know and respect standards, while retaining design freedom and great creativity, make this double degree a strong added value on the job market.

Admissions

Les élèves ingénieurs en première année de l’ENTPE et de l’ECL et de 3e année de l’INSA de Lyon  peuvent postuler pour le cycle de formation ingénieur-architecte au sein de l’ENSAL. 

Une préparation est mise en place par l’École chaque année entre fin août et début octobre qui permet de sélectionner les candidats.

Lors de cette préparation, les postulants sont amenés à rendre des travaux personnels, à suivre des séances autour de la conception du projet en architecture et du dessin d’observation, puis à passer un entretien individuel.

Au terme de ces épreuves, un jury constitué d'enseignants de l'ENSAL et des écoles d'ingénieurs, sélectionne les candidats admis dont le nombre, fixé par le conseil d’administration de l’ENSAL, est à ce jour de 30 étudiants ingénieurs. Les étudiants intègrent l’ENSAL en première année de DCIA.

Presentation

The dual architect-engineer/engineer-architect curriculum is a course that leads to the award of two diplomas, in seven years: the State diploma of architect conferring the grade of master, and the diploma of engineer.

Target skills

  • technical skills (hard skills) linked to engineering sciences and architecture. Work skills too: being able to take on a heavy workload.
  • relational skills (soft skills)

Training objectives

Training unique professionals

Program

The course comprises 450 hours of specific teaching, complementary to that of engineering studies and spread over three years. It is organized around three main areas: architectural design and projects, the culture and history of architecture, and the modeling and representation of forms.

An annual passing jury, made up of the teachers who have taught the year's courses, ENSAL's pedagogical managers and representatives from INSA, ENTPE and ECL, is organized by ENSAL.
Students are exempt from a maximum of 150 hours of teaching each year at their home institution.

At the end of the three years, ENSAL awards these students the Diploma of Studies in Architecture and Engineering - DEAI. They then have the opportunity to apply to ENSAL in the first year of the Master's cycle by validation of prior learning as soon as they hold their engineering diploma and the DEAI, in order to obtain their State Architectural Diploma - DEA. This system enables these students to obtain an engineering degree and an architectural diploma in seven years.
