People training: a guiding line at the heart of our project

Purpan engineers throughout their training, will progressively acquire the intellectual capacities enabling them to master scientific approaches to problem solving, and enhance their capacity for abstract thinking. Rigor, analytical thinking and prospecting skills which are coupled with creativity, will enable students to imagine new solutions, enacting meaning and progress.

More than mere lesson content, we have taken upon ourselves to offer students an environment which furthers personal development. Learning how to relate to others, developing knowledge of the fundamental basis and structure of our own personality, understanding interaction constraints inherent to human groups, are the key contents of the 'people training' which is given here at Purpan, throughout the five year curriculum.

Making a "person-engineer" emerge is at the heart of our educational team's project. It is an exciting challenge and an immense opportunity for both staff and students.
