ENSA and ENSAM in bref
ENSA
Schools National some Sciences Appliquées. Network national of a douzaine of schools, développé since the years 90. Spécialités larges, orientées numerical, systems, industrie, with a panel who varie according to the ville.
ENSAM
School National Higher of Arts and Careers (fondée to Meknès in 1997; Casablanca and Rabat ensuite). Identité forte in génie mechanics, industriel, électromécanique and materials.

Débouchés: mechanics and industrie vs numerical and systems
- ENSAM → industrie manufacturière, automobile, aéronautique, maintenance, production, bureaux of études mechanical.
- ENSA → développement logiciel, réseaux & télécoms, data, energy, génie civil or industriel according to the spécialité choisie.
- In the deux cas: degree of State Engineer reconnu, poursuite possible in Master's degree or PhD.
