Encyclopedia
Ecole supérieurs d'ingénieurs de recherche en matériaux et en InfoTronique (ESIREM) is a French public research engineering school (Grandes écoles
) founded in 1991. It is one of the five grandes écoles
of University of Burgundy
and is located in Dijon
, France. The professors (mostly researchers) were involved in efforts to develop data processing
, embedded systems, medicals, telecommunications network
, algorithm
and optics
. The engineering at ESIREM also expanded beyond the physical sciences like business management and project management

It was previously known as FIRST and changed to ESIREM in 1998.

Many students intern abroad like in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. ESIREM students are well educated to handle job-hunting.

Contrat professionnalisation (for final year students only)
Students who wish to work in the industry can work under ESIREM's supervision at the company of their choice. The students somehow require to do a project-based activities rather than random engineers jobs. The contrat professionnalisation (or Contrat Pro) begins in October until the end of the scholar year.Internship
Internships are compulsory for students in every year.- One month minimum – First year
- 10 weeks or 2 and a half months minimum – Second year
- Five months minimum – Third year
Many students intern abroad like in Europe, Asia, Africa and America. ESIREM students are well educated to handle job-hunting.
