Objectives
The "Energy facility design"specialty engineering course in partnership with theITII de Lyon is carried out under a three-year apprenticeship contract. This course responds to an undeniable need in the energy sector for engineers to design installations for the efficient production, distribution or operation of energy on the scale of territories, industrial sites and buildings.
The energy sector is facing many challenges, and is at the heart of the energy transition and decarbonization. Replacing existing installations with those that have less impact on the environment calls for new designs that integrate recent and ongoing developments in the energy, environmental and technological context.
To meet these challenges, energy plant design engineers need to couple traditional skills in different scientific fields (mathematics, electrical engineering, thermal engineering, thermodynamics, mechanics, automation) with a culture of current and developing energy sectors from a technological, economic, environmental and societal point of view.
The work-study curriculum aims to acquire 4 blocks of skills:
- Identify, understand, analyze and describe the needs of an energy system in a building, an industrial facility, or a territory, taking into account environmental and societal aspects.
- Research and propose concepts of technical systems and organizations, choose and justify the most relevant concept(s), to respond to energy issues.
- Coordinate and carry out study projects leading to the complete definition of elements of an optimized energy system.
- Identify the technical, economic and ethical value of its professional practices and those of its collaborators to adjust the organization, encourage good practices, and establish mutual trust within this entity
.
Program
Academic training is delivered over approximately 1,650 hours of face-to-face teaching, enabling students to acquire:
- A multidisciplinary scientific foundation in mathematics, mechanics, electrical engineering, thermodynamics...
- A high level of English to operate in an international context
- A understanding of the technologies used and the economic and political contextof each energy sector
- A mastery of IT tools and design office methods
- A training in leadershipand management (team management, project management, business management...)

Alternating periods of 2 to 3 weeks at the company and at the training center over the first 5 semesters. The final semester is spent working on a final project at the company.
During the course, students carry out three projects enabling them to put their learning into practice in a professional context.
- First project: familiarize themselves with the company's technology and implement its design techniques. The project also includes an organizational aspect, providing an insight into projects carried out in a design office.
- Second project: apprehend relationships with customers, suppliers and experts. Technical expectations are more advanced: developing models, ensuring simulations to evaluate the performance of proposed solutions.
- Third project: the engineering-level Travail de Fin d'Études (TFE) with more autonomy and responsibilities. Precise results are expected within controlled deadlines.
Diploma and certification
This course delivers a national engineering diploma - controlled by the State.
