Program Overview

Energy Engineer Program

The Energy Engineer program is a specialty engineering course that responds to the need for engineers to design installations for the efficient production, distribution, or operation of energy on the scale of territories, industrial sites, and buildings.

Objectives

The program aims to equip students with the skills 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.

Program

The program 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, and more
• A high level of English to operate in an international context
• An understanding of the technologies used and the economic and political context of each energy sector
• Mastery of IT tools and design office methods
• Training in leadership and management (team management, project management, business management)

The program consists of:

• 31% Engineering Sciences
• 17% Engineering technology
• 18% Technology of Installations
• 10% Design office tools & methods
• 6% Social issues
• 9% Management training
• 9% English

Diploma and Certification

The program delivers a national engineering diploma, controlled by the State.

Career Opportunities

Graduates work in companies in the energy sector, building and public works, design offices, consulting firms, local authorities, and research and teaching organizations. Career paths include:

• Design engineer
• Business manager
• Project engineer
• Prospecting manager
• Consulting engineer
• R&D engineer

Focus

The Energy Engineer program is the result of collaboration between Centrale Lyon and ITII de Lyon. This training is accessible via apprenticeship and VAE (Validation des Acquis de l'Expérience).
