General engineering through continuing education

The IMT Nord Europe “Ingénieur Généraliste” Continuing Education program is part of an approach designed to prepare professionals to become versatile and strategic players, capable of meeting the complex challenges of the 21st century.

In practice, it enables French or foreign senior technicians with a Bac +2 scientific or technical diploma and at least 3 years’ professional experience to become engineers.

The program consists of a preparatory cycle lasting a few months and a one-year in-school training course integrated into the initial engineering training cycle. The diploma awarded is the same as that awarded for initial training.

On joining the engineering cycle, trainees choose to follow courses in one of the school’s four specialist fields:

Energy Environment
Eco-Materials, Industry and Civil Engineering
Industry and Services
Digital Science and Technology

Bac+5 training, RNCP level 7, eligible for CPF.

Skills

Depending on the field chosen :

Develop, manage and maintain energy production and fluid transport facilities and equipment, taking into account energy savings, renewable energies and ecological impact.
Ensure risk management and monitoring of the environmental impact of an industrial site, and implement the environmental policy of a company or industrial group.
Design and implement structures (buildings, engineering structures, mechanisms, parts).
Define, optimize and recover end-of-life materials (geomaterials, concretes, composites, metals, polymers)
Improve processes in industry and services.
Managing production and Lean tools, data science, for industrial performance, logistics and transport, embedded systems, robotics and vision, etc.
Manage IT projects

Program

The curriculum is structured as follows:

A preparatory cycle comprising a core curriculum and specific courses linked to one of the school’s areas of specialization.
An engineering cycle comprising 2 academic semesters, with the trainee choosing a combination of Value Units linked to the school’s teaching areas: in Energy and the Environment, Materials and Structures, Digital Sciences and Technologies or Processes for Industry and Services, and a 6-month end-of-studies project in a company. The end-of-study project is followed by a report and a presentation.

English language courses are included, as trainees must achieve a minimum TOEIC score of 605 by the end of the course to obtain the diploma.

Head Teacher

André Wroblewski.
