History
editThe 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.[citation needed]
Location
editIt 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).
Curriculum
editStudy in France
editThe 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.
