Primary missions: teaching and research
The primary goal of Arts et Métiers ParisTech is to provide an initial foundation in general engineering principles for the disciplines of mechanical engineering, power engineering and industrial engineering. Arts et Métiers ParisTech also offers continuing training for engineers and industry executives.

With 19 research laboratories and two PhD programs, Arts et Métiers ParisTech develops teaching and research acivities in three main fields:

Mechanics, materials, processes Fluids and energy systems Design, industrialization, risk management and decision-making The school's training programs are completed by: About 20 Research-Based Masters specialisms About 20 Specialist Masters programs PhD studies

Focus on sustainable development
The values of Arts et Métiers engineers (professional skills, brotherhood and solidarity) correspond to the three pillars of sustainable development: social development, economic development and environmental protection. This means that Arts et Métiers ParisTech is the school of sustainable products and acceptable production systems.
It trains engineers who specialize in sustainable technologies, able to design products and systems that respect the environment and to manage industrial organization while controlling both risk and cost.

A research structure certified by the Institut Carnot
Arts et Métiers ParisTech has its own Contractual Research Structure (SRC), ARTS (Association de Recherche pour la Technologie et les Sciences). ARTS provides technical liaison and logistical support in relations with companies and the business world, and manages research in collaboration with the school's partners and the subsequent technology transfer.
In 2006, Arts et Métiers ParisTech and the ARTS were awarded joint approval from the Institut Carnot for their ARTS (Research Activities for Technology and Society) research structure.
 
Close contacts with the business environment
Scientific research is essential in developing the most efficient and innovative technologies. At Arts et Métiers ParisTech, the shared goals of business people and academics bring them together to develop projects and skills to promote the emergence of new ideas in response to rapid technological change. This approach enables the school to maintain the highest levels of expertise. Its constantly updated knowledge gives its teaching a guarantee of quality and technological excellence.


International openness
Arts et Métiers ParisTech has established partnerships with over 100 schools and universities worldwide. This network enables it to offer a wide range of international study options. To find more about the U.S academic partners, visit the academic partners page.
