Entry requirements

First year: students admitted to M1 either come from the “Mechanics” programme of the Physics and Chemistry Licence degree or are accepted on the basis of application.

 

Second year: M1 or equivalent (60 ECTS credits) in a related field (mechanics, civil engineering, etc.).

Benefits of the program

Many civil engineering professionals are involved in the course:

 

- speakers are mainly temporary staff from the professional world,

- seminars are organised each year with professionals from leading civil engineering groups (Artelia, Paris Ouest, GTM) to give students initial contact with the industrial world and help them find a work placement,

- the work placement is carried out in a company.

Acquired skills

This programme prepares students to take on technical and functional responsibilities through a global approach to the specificities of the construction, maintenance and operation of civil engineering structures.

 

Students also learn to master tools for the design, calculation, manufacture, construction and maintenance of structures. The course also covers strategies and techniques for managing all the implementation processes, including the specific legal aspects of each site.

Your future career

Sectors: Graduates work in large industrial civil engineering groups, specialist design offices, technical inspection companies and site-management firms. Some pursue further study through a specialised Master’s (CHEBAP, CHEM, etc.).

 

Careers: business manager, technical inspector works engineer, design engineer, site manager, structural design engineer, project execution engineer, methods engineer.

Professional integration

The “Project Engineering for Civil Engineering” specialisation has a professional focus. It prepares students for positions of responsibility in:

 

project management; design offices and technical inspection offices; structural design and project implementation; site management; etc.

 

Companies concerned by this course include:

 

• National and international construction companies: Bouygues, Vinci, Eiffage, etc.

 

• National and international design and engineering offices: Technip, Saïpem, OTH, Ingerop, Krebs, etc.

 

• Technical inspection companies: Ceten, Apave, Socotec, Veritas, etc, as well as many of their partners, often SMEs, who are scrupulous about ensuring the required level of quality and reliability of their services.

 

Surveys carried out by the university show that most graduates from the Science and Technology Master’s enter the professional world.

Study objectives

The “Project Engineering for Civil Engineering” programme aims to give students the skills to understand and resolve all major problems encountered in the construction, operation and maintenance of civil engineering works, whether industrial, commercial, residential, public or private. In practice, graduates design, size and build such structures based on new European technical regulations. The course also enables students to adopt an overall perspective on a project while taking account of its specificities. It covers aspects related to project management techniques, the roles and responsibilities of the different actors of a project, and specific legal aspects.

CoursesECTSCMTDTP
Stage

The internship, lasting at least 2 months, must be done in a private company or in a research laboratory. The objective of the internship is to understand the functioning of business or the research activities and to put in practice the knowledge learned during the courses. Students have to prepare a dissertation and an oral defense.
