My experience in Mechanical Engineering in Aero

This degree has allowed me to acquire a wide range of knowledge and skills in three different branches related to mechanical engineering (calculus, design and manufacturing). The courses being delivered in Toulouse, the aeronautical context allows students to have a direct approach with the aeronautical industry. Concerning improvements, I believe the student/teacher relationship could be improved, taking into account that there is a lot of independent work. However, the amount of independent work does allow students to develop several useful skills on autonomous work.
