Training offer

The Environment, Energy & Risks department aims to train engineers capable of ensuring the development and quality of life of future generations while protecting our planet. It is divided into two options, Energy and Environment, and Natural and Industrial Risks.

The «Energy and Environment» option is dedicated to two major issues of society : the control of energy and the preservation of the environment. Students from this course will be able to imagine and propose intelligent, efficient and sustainable solutions to meet the expectations of reducing environmental impact and energy performance. Along with strong technical skills, they will demonstrate real leadership, communication and convincing skills. They can integrate large groups, Smes/Smis, engineering offices, communities as a Research Manager, Business Manager, Site Manager or Environment Manager. They are addressed to become, eventually, managers.

The engineer specializing in major risks relies on solid generalist training. This expert has a very good knowledge of major risks, of the modeling of their consequences, of their impacts on the territory and of the means of prevention and crisis management. He can evolve as well as a manager in the QHSE (Quality, Hygiene, Safety, Environment) direction of an industrial company or in a design and engineering office in risks (technological and natural risks) as in administration or the local collectives.
