Course structure
The normal length of study at ENIB is:
•
5 years for students enrolled in semester 1
•
3 years for students enrolled in semester 5
The curriculum is divided into two parts:
•
A Foundation Studies programme comprised of 4 semesters and 2 intersemesters. The aim of this
programme is to provide students with the fundamentals in the scientific, technical, humanities
and linguistic industries.
•
An engineering programme comprised of 6 semesters and 1 intersemester.
The first three years are divided into an academic part (semesters S1-S6) and a vocational part
(intersemesters IS1-IS3).
Intersemesters
Intersemester IS1 consists of modules (6 in 2011–2012) and a series of “Industry-Oriented” conferences.
Intersemester IS2 is a 4-week industrial work placement.
Intersemester IS3 consists of modules (5 in 2011–2012) and a series of “Industry-Oriented” conferences.

(scrum method).
The aim is to familiarise students with the iterative project development methodology.
For each iteration, the team leader (scrum master), product owner and scrum team will
define the project’s weekly development targets.
Each iteration results in an application deliverable. A deliverable will be submitted to
the project’s client every three weeks (totalling up to 4 iterations).

management, agile software development, Extreme Programming (XP), Scrum method

Every semester, students will be able to choose between six topics.
On the first day, students will learn agile software development methods. The projects
will be presented and students will be able to select the one they wish to undertake.
The iterative development process will be spread over the following weeks.
On the last day, each project will be presented to a panel of “product owners”.
The following deliverables will be required for each project:
•
Software application versions (4 iterations)
•
