Advanced course pathways

In the third year, you choose a more in-depth course in one of the 5 themes below.

From strategy to data management

Against a backdrop of economic, organisational, digital, and technological transformation, new jobs have emerged. The challenge is to organise, understand, and model increasing quantities of data in order to reduce the uncertainty involved in decision-making.

This theme is designed to meet the growing demand from companies for Enterprise Architects and Data Scientists and covers all sizes of organisation and all areas (production of goods and/or services, public services, etc.).

You will become a data specialist, using mathematical models and algorithms derived from scientific research to transform raw data into valuable knowledge. Your aim will be to reveal the economic potential of data to produce added value.

The role of the enterprise architect is to master the complexity of the company’s information system and make it more agile. You will learn the modelling methods, tools, and best practices needed to align the information system with the company’s strategy.

Energy and sustainable construction

In connection with 21st century engineering professions, the “Sustainable construction and energy” theme specifically addresses the following three topics:

  • Environmental sustainability (decarbonisation, local use, and consumption of energy, etc.)
  • Smart mobility
  • Smart housing, design, construction, and durability of structures and works

From design to production, you will take into account the technical, financial, and human issues at stake, as well as best practice in a given context. You will learn to take all the risks into account (personal safety, semi-probabilistic approaches to the design of structures for accidental or specific weather conditions, socio-economic aspects, etc.).

Using a bottom-up approach, starting with energy management in the home and ending with the energy supply to major urban centres and vast territories, this pathway will enable you to grasp all the challenges and the wide variety of solutions: harnessing renewables, new forms of electricity production, cohabitation of AC and DC networks, storage and the smart grid.

Smart systems and environments

In an increasingly connected and interactive world, where new uses are being created, people are becoming increasingly mobile and need a more efficient and autonomous environment. Working on intelligence that is both centralised and distributed will enable us to respond to the “smart: everything & everywhere” challenge!

In addition to the simultaneous transmission of voice, data and images at high speed via fixed or mobile networks, sensors are becoming miniaturised, distributed, autonomous and communicating. You will develop the skills to implement solutions for embedded and mobile systems, digital and wireless communications.

The increasingly advanced integration of technologies for processing and exchanging information allows not only for control but also for the creation of automated devices that are increasingly efficient in terms of energy and time, either autonomous or, conversely, capable of collaborating in a network to accomplish specific tasks.

Industry of the future

Design products and production systems that are sustainable, ecological and agile!

Are you interested in the sustainable economy and limiting the waste of non-renewable resources? If you love innovation and new technologies and are keen to take up the challenge of developing France’s industry, then this is the theme for you!

You adhere to the circular economy model to design environmentally-friendly products that are both sustainable and responsible. You take into account the renewable, repairable, and reusable aspects of each product.

Become an engineer integrating new technologies in industry, logistics, and the supply chain. The aim is to manufacture a product in an ecological and sustainable manner that meets the customer’s needs while ensuring the openness and security of the production system.

Engineering and Healthcare

 

The collaboration between the medical field and engineering has often produced success stories. Modern hospitals are filled with technological sophistication, from imaging devices to computer systems.

Nevertheless, the interaction between medical and engineering fields remains largely under-exploited. This is due, among other things, to the different training courses, and the difficulty for engineers to grasp the full complexity of the medical world: the large number of players, the centrality of the human factor, the variability and dynamics inherent to living beings, among other things.

This pathway focuses on healthcare organisations. You will learn how to meet the new patient-centred needs of the medical world (patient flow, financing, pharmacy 4.0, medical robotics, digital twins, remote monitoring, IoT for medical use, etc.).

This pathway focuses on the design of healthcare tools. You learn how to address the new needs of the medical world in areas such as artificial intelligence and omics approaches, medical imaging, biomaterials, biomolecules, drug design, and market access for medical products within the companies that design these devices.
