ENSAS Hosts Second Annual Forum on May 20 and 21

The National School of Applied Sciences of Safi (ENSAS), part of Morocco's ENSA network, has been training high-level state engineers since its founding in 2003, primarily for businesses.

Under the supervision of Cadi Ayyad University, ENSAS Safi offers cutting-edge and innovative training, setting it apart among prestigious Moroccan engineering schools. Its main mission is to train state engineers in computer science and industrial engineering.

The unique curriculum combines scientific and technical skills with industry exposure, making it one of the most sought-after schools by students and recruiters. The emphasis on practical projects allows graduates to quickly attain positions of responsibility in diverse areas of the information society.

Engineering training at ENSAS spans five years:

- A preparatory cycle (two years)

- An engineering cycle (3 years specializing in Computer Engineering or Industrial Engineering)

To connect future engineers with their future environment, ENSAS is holding its second annual forum on May 20 and 21. This event bridges the gap between tomorrow's leaders and Moroccan and international companies. The chosen theme highlights the engineer's role in establishing foresight and their role within a company:

"The Engineer: A Constant Focus on the Future, Rational Skills Serving the Company."

Rapid changes in Morocco's economic and technological sectors require anticipating current developments to better prepare and gain a competitive edge. Foresight is a methodological tool that broadens one's vision by projecting into the future to better understand development opportunities and organize to improve company performance.

To integrate this new tool within companies and gain a fresh, cross-functional perspective on current developments, businesses need innovative personnel with foresight. They need individuals with time and workload management skills, resilience to deadlines and technical challenges, and, most importantly, the ability to anticipate problems: Companies need engineers.
