MDE in a nutshell Model Driven Engineering (MDE) is changing the way we build, we operate, and we maintain our software-intensive systems. MDE provides a new conceptual framework and a set of tools to separate and to combine the multiple aspects and views present in modern complex systems. Several projects using MDE practices are reporting significant improvements in quality and performance.
Jobs for Tomorrow and the Future The MDE Diploma provides the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in Model Engineering, a key growth area in the ICT Industry. Potential career opportunities : * Software Engineers with specialized expertise in model engineering, • Research and Development engineers in national or international projects, • Enterprise Architects, • Software Engineering and Configuration Managers, • Requirements Analysts, • Team Leaders in new Technology Projects, • Development Managers involved in Information System Modernization and Migration. MDE graduates will find career opportunities in: Large user groups Bank and financial industry Government agencies, Software houses, Software editors, Public and Private Research Labs.
Student Profile The international MDE program is open to : Candidates with a Scientific Master Degree or equivalent with industrial experience in Computer Science. French language not required.Lectures and Project Guidance in English.
An ideal study environment NANTES is the 6th Town in France and one of the most liveable city in all of Europe” It is located 50km from the Atlantic Coast. Paris-Nantes : 2 hours by TGV. The area of Nantes is well known for its eagerness in fostering innovation in software engineering, particularly in MDE. Several companies have pioneer record in the area of reverse engineering of legacy systems, software modernization, management of information systems in the banking industry and electronic government services.
We need now to teach MDE Move from object technology to model engineering: Probably much more difficult than the migration from procedural technology to object technology in the 80's.
The MDE Diploma An International Post-Graduate Specialization Program: Model Driven Engineering for Software Management Objective: To train engineers to manage complex projects in various IT fields with the latest cutting-edge modeling technologies. • One semester of academic coursework (360 hours) at the Ecole des Mines de Nantes combined with seminars, regular visits to successful MDE deployment sites, and group projects. • A 6-month internship with a company or lab to resolve an industrial problem of MDE application. • Start of program: February 2010. • Language of Instruction: English
