Presentation of the Energy & Environment Major
The Energy and Environment major covers all “high-tech” professions in energy production, distribution, and consumption control. It is based on a body of knowledge that is essential for any energy engineer, ranging from thermodynamics to materials science, from fossil fuels to renewable energies, from control and command in nuclear production to intelligent electricity distribution networks (Smart Grid).
It also covers on-board energy (batteries and fuels), the key to miniaturization, mobility and transport of the future. This training leaves the beaten track of energy production to explore the professions directly linked to environmental protection and sustainable development.
The objectives of the Energy & Environment Engineering Major
Master all the technical, economic and financial aspects of the energy sector (production, transport, storage, distribution, uses, etc.) but also the energy of housing, cities, ICT, etc.
Identify the main issues, levers and constraints of energy transition policies.
Anticipate changes and innovations in the energy sector.
Acquire the skills essential to energy managers: purchasing and logistics, regulatory and legal aspects, financial approaches, project management, negotiation, communication, innovation.
Curriculum
