Supmicrotech

Supmicrotech (officially, the École nationale supérieure de mécanique et des microtechniques) is a French school of engineering. It is part of Polyméca, a network of schools focusing on mechanical engineering.

History
The school was founded in 1902 by the Université de Franche-Comté as Laboratoire de Chronométrie. In 1961, it turned to École nationale supérieure de chronométrie et micromécanique (ENSCM). Since the school is established in an area with a strong legacy on horology, Supmicrotech is deeply dedicated to the design and manufacturing of micro-mechanical devices and robotics.

Location
It is located in the city of Besançon, France eastern area (by car, 4 hours from Paris, 2 hours and a half from Strasbourg and 2 hours and a half from Lyon).

Study in France
The school educates 250 engineers every year on 6 fields:


 * Materials science
 * Mechatronics
 * Mechanical engineering
 * Micromechanics
 * Optoelectronics and Microelectromechanical systems
 * Industrial engineering

Students can choose to spend their last year within Supmicrotech or in one of the schools of the Polyméca network.
