The MDE Diploma in Model Driven Engineering is a one-year full-time program at École des Mines de Nantes, starting in March 2010, aimed at addressing the shortage of skills in handling software-intensive projects. It combines theoretical modules on advanced software practices with practical industrial internships, providing students with in-depth experience and expertise in model engineering. The program emphasizes strong partnerships with industry to ensure relevance and hands-on experience in the growing IT field.

2. MDE Diploma in a nutshellModel Driven Engineering (MDE) is changing the way we build, operate, and maintain our software-intensive systemsThe human skills necessary to handle these projects are currently not widely available. The MDE Diploma pretends to cover this gap:A Comprehensive course on Advanced Software Production, operation and maintenance based on MDE

3. Trains engineers to manage complex projects with the lateset cutting-edge modeling technologiesJobs for Tomorrow and the FutureThe MDE Diploma provides the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in Model Engineering, a key growth area in the IT industry. Competitive advantage Close relationship with the real world through strong partnerships with industry. An important part of the programs is spent acquiring in-depth experience of the industrial environment through industrial studies or projectsMost visible tool producers in the MDE field will participate to the program and directly bring their expertise to the MDE students.
