General engineering through continuing education

The continuing education engineering program includes a thematic track to be chosen from among eight tracks structured around issues related to energy, ecological, and societal transition, which enable future engineers to adopt a critical, systemic, and responsible stance toward technological choices and the methods implemented. More than just a framework for specialization, the thematic tracks are an invitation to think and act with rigor, openness, and commitment.

The eight thematic tracks:

• Secure and Communicating Intelligent Systems

This track trains versatile engineers who are capable of designing, securing, and optimizing networks, telecommunications, and intelligent systems in a hyperconnected world. At the intersection of networks, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and the IoT, it addresses today’s challenges of performance, connectivity, and digital security.

Students acquire a solid background in computer science, software and mobile development, distributed systems, cybersecurity, and AI. In their final year, they choose between two specializations: Secure and Communicating Networks (5G, connected objects, QoS, network security) or Software Engineering (application development, embedded AI, cloud).

Career opportunities include positions as network engineer, cybersecurity consultant, mobile or IoT developer, cloud architect, project manager, and full-stack developer. This program also prepares students for research (thesis) and incorporates digital and ecological transition issues, promoting high-performance, resource-efficient solutions.

• Data Science and Responsible Artificial Intelligence

This program trains engineers to design and deploy useful, high-performance, and responsible artificial intelligence solutions, taking into account technical, ethical, and environmental issues. It is intended for those who wish to apply data science and AI to major societal challenges.

Students acquire solid skills in mathematics, programming, machine learning, big data, embedded AI, cybersecurity, and multi-agent systems. Two specializations are offered in the final year: Data Science and Intelligent Systems (images, health, virtual reality) and Software and Decision-Making for Complex Systems (robotics, transportation, optimization).

Career opportunities are varied: data scientist, AI engineer, big data architect, AI project manager, in sectors such as healthcare, industry, transportation, the environment, and finance.

• Sustainable Industry

The Sustainable Industry thematic track trains engineers to optimize industrial and logistical processes by balancing performance, innovation, and sustainability. Through an approach that integrates digital tools, continuous improvement, and advanced modeling, students gain expertise in production management, planning, automation, and data analysis.

This program prepares students to lead optimization projects, digitize industrial tools, and support the transformations necessary for a more efficient, resilient, and responsible industry. Career opportunities cover a wide variety of sectors (automotive, energy, logistics, etc.) and professions: methods engineer, Lean project manager, automation engineer, industrial IT developer, and more.

Future engineers are thus prepared to meet the challenges of the digital and ecological transition of companies.

• Mechanical Design EngineeringThe Mechanical Design Engineering program trains engineers to design, dimension, and optimize complex mechanical systems, taking into account technical, economic, and environmental issues.The program covers the entire design cycle: modeling (SolidWorks, CATIA), dimensioning (finite elements with Abaqus), material selection and characterization, manufacturing, maintenance, and control. Students work on real-world projects in collaboration with industry, such as the design of hydrogen tanks, wind turbines, and innovative vehicles.

  This program prepares students for a wide variety of careers in all industrial sectors: automotive, aeronautics, energy, agri-food, etc. It incorporates the challenges of ecological and digital transition by promoting innovation, resource optimization, and the integration of new technologies.

• Eco-engineering of Polymer and Composite MaterialsThe Eco-engineering of Polymer and Composite Materials program trains engineers specializing in the design, transformation, and characterization of polymer and composite materials, with a strong focus on eco-design and ecological transition.The program covers materials science, industrial processes (injection, extrusion, 3D printing), recycling, life cycle analysis, and new sustainable economic models. Concrete projects, such as PolyLabTime and Eco-Bricks, allow students to apply their skills in the laboratory by developing bio-based or recycled materials.

  Graduates can pursue careers in a variety of sectors (automotive, aeronautics, energy, packaging, medical, etc.) and access positions in R&D, production, testing, project management, or technical sales. The program also paves the way for doctoral studies.

  By integrating sustainability issues and digital tools, the program prepares engineers to play a key role in the material innovations of tomorrow.

• Civil Engineering and EnvironmentThe Civil Engineering and Environment program trains versatile engineers capable of designing and managing construction projects while fully integrating sustainable development issues. It combines solid technical training (structures, materials, geotechnics, thermal engineering, etc.) with skills in digital design (BIM), project management, and site management.The environmental dimension is at the heart of this program: eco-design, material recycling, life cycle analysis, etc. Students learn to balance performance, innovation, and responsibility at every stage of their projects.

  This program opens up many career opportunities: design offices, construction management, real estate project management, development of solutions for smart buildings or sustainable cities. It prepares engineers for the major ecological and digital transitions in the sector.

• Environmental and Industrial Risk EngineeringThis program trains engineers to prevent and manage environmental and industrial risks by helping companies adopt safer and more sustainable practices. It combines fundamental sciences, risk management, and regulatory expertise to meet the challenges of ecological transition and societal demands.Students acquire skills in environmental processes (air pollution, thermodynamics, etc.), risk analysis (dispersion modeling, air quality, hazard assessment), and environmental law, particularly with regard to Classified Facilities for Environmental Protection (ICPE). Concrete projects, such as air quality analysis in a simulated environment, allow students to anchor their learning in real-world issues.

  Career opportunities include positions as HSE engineers, ICPE experts, environmental managers, or ecological transition project managers in a variety of sectors (industry, energy, construction, local government, etc.). This program is designed for those who want to work toward a more responsible industry and a more resilient society.

• Energy EngineeringThis program trains engineers to take on the challenges of energy, industrial, and environmental transition. They learn to design, optimize, and manage sustainable energy systems, integrating renewable energies, energy efficiency, nuclear power, and heat recovery.The program is based on a solid scientific foundation (thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, etc.) and is organized around four areas: renewable energies, nuclear power, waste heat recovery, and energy management. Concrete projects, in collaboration with laboratories or industry, allow students to put these skills into practice on real-world cases (e.g., CO₂ capture, innovative thermal generators, etc.).

  There are many career opportunities in industry, construction, nuclear power, local government, and design offices. Graduates hold positions such as energy efficiency engineer, decarbonization project manager, R&D engineer, and low-carbon transition consultant.
