Engineer Cycle – Major in Data & AI

Data and AI are redefining every sector. The main objective of this program is to train engineers who can transform raw data into strategic decision-making tools. 

The learning covers the entire data cycle, from processing massive data to deploying AI models in production, including governance and ethics.

Yes. Both options are available :

• In the initial rhythm, you will undertake a 4-month internship in the 2nd year of the engineering cycle and a long 6-month internship in the 3rd year of the engineering cycle. 
• In alternating patterns, you alternate periods in the company and learning at ECE starting from the 2nd year of the Engineering cycle.

These immersions constitute a new crucial step in building your data engineer profile.

By joining the Data & IA major, you become part of an active student community of over 40 associations. Technical clubs, entrepreneurial, sports, and cultural associations: life on the Paris campus is rich. 

Access to the Intelligence Lab, a hub dedicated to generative AI, provides a new unique experimentation opportunity for data and AI enthusiasts.

The major takes place over 2 years, in the 2nd and 3rd years of the engineering cycle at ECE, for a total of 120 ECTS credits. It is part of a comprehensive 5-year curriculum leading to the engineering degree. 

Courses are taught in French and English on the Paris campus, with a mandatory international academic stay.

Yes. The ECE offers a housing search assistance service, especially for students arriving in Paris through parallel admissions.

• Partnerships with student residences make your settling in the capital easier. 
• The admissions team guides you through your practical steps as soon as you integrate into the program.

A young graduate engineer in data and AI starts with a salary between €3,200 and €4,500 gross per month 

The development of specialized skills – MLOps, cloud architectures, generative AI – can lead to salaries of €5,500 to €7,500 gross per month after a few years. Lead Data Scientist or Senior AI Architect profiles often exceed these thresholds.

The ECE has implemented a comprehensive support system, from day one until professional integration. The development of your career project is at the heart of this support:

• Personalized follow-up in finding internships or apprenticeship positions.
• Access to over 20,000 offers via Match’Up.
• Coaching workshops: CV, interviews, pitches, LinkedIn.
• Access to the Intelligence Lab and its resources in applied AI.
• Assistance in finding housing for students in mobility.

The ECE alumni network is a major asset for your integration. Within the OMNES Education group, there are over 215,000 graduates spread around the world who will form your future professional community. 

Data engineers, data scientists, tech directors, and entrepreneurs regularly share opportunities, mentoring, and concrete feedback.

Yes. In addition to the engineering diploma, students can prepare for the CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) certification awarded by PMI, which is internationally recognized in technology project management. 

Cloud certifications (Azure, AWS, GCP) can also be prepared alongside the curriculum, depending on the chosen learnings and the projects carried out in the company.

Both programs address artificial intelligence, but from distinct angles. The Data & AI major is integrated into the 5-year engineering cycle and covers a broad spectrum: 

• data engineering ;
• machine learning ;
• Big Data ;
• Deployment of models.

The MSc in Artificial Intelligence is a new program available after Bac +3 or Bac +4, taught entirely in English, focusing on advanced AI architectures and cutting-edge industrial applications. The choice depends on your academic background and professional project.
