Energy Profile

A transverse Profile, on

  • Renewable and non-renewable energy sources

  • Efficient energy production, use and distribution

  • Reduction of energy consumption in the fields of building, transport and industry

open to all the students of Polytech Group or from international University partnerships in their last year of a Master of Engineering Degree in :
biochemical engineering chemical engineering
civil engineering electrical engineering
engineering physics materials engineering
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It involves a high-level program with a broad spectrum of professional skills development in the fields of energy production, distribution, storage and use, and is addressed to students who terminate their Master’s program while still maintaining their initial specialization.
 

Sponsorship and partnership

Scientific advisors:

  • Christian Ngô : Consultant. Former Scientific Director at the CEA. Author of "Our Energy Future: Resources, Alternatives and the Environment" (Wiley) and of many scientific books in French in the field of Energy supply and storage.
  • Jean-Michel Delbecq : Scientific Director, EDF R&D.

Corporate sponsorship:

Other partners:

  • Nuclear power: EDF, CEA, AREVA...
  • Fossil fuels: EDF, l'Air Liquide...
  • Renewable energy: EDF, IFPEN...
  • Electric power distribution: ERDF
  • Efficient vehicle: Michelin
  • Outdoor and indoor lighting: Philips

Admissions

  • The Energy profile is a specialty profile offered during the last year of the Master’s program (30 ECTS for each semester).
  • Master’s students in engineering physics and in biochemical, chemical, civil, electrical  and materials engineering are welcome. These students will graduate with a Master of Engineering from their initial school and department, but will choose to focus on a different area of specialization at the end of the Master’s program, as a complement to their initial speciality.
  • The first semester (S9) is dedicated to practical work and lectures, the second (S10) to an internship in the energy industry of at least five months.

Program

The 275 hours of the scientific core of the Energy Profile are evenly divided into five modules which simultaneously cover fundamental and applied aspects of the production and the consumption of energy :

These five modules are completed by :

Time dedicated to this project is 30 hours, taken from the time dedicated to the five scientific modules of the Profile.

Pedagogy

  • Practical work and projects correspond to one-third of the credit hours in the Profile program.
  • Another one-third is dedicated to lectures delivered by experienced speakers from industry.
  • Invited speakers occupy various positions in the industry in France or abroad (consulting, training, engineering, management, production, research and development) to cover the various tasks to be accomplished by Engineers.

History and partners

  • The Energy Profile opened in September 2010 to satisfy the need for highly-skilled and innovative engineers in the energy industry, with students from four departments of Polytech Clermont-Fd: namely, engineering physics, civil engineering, electrical engineering and biological engineering.  
  • At the present time, the students of the 2011 class are terminating their internship period among the leaders of the French energy industry (ADEME, AREVA, CEA, EDF, ERDF, Valrea, Veolia Energy, Vinci Energy).  
  • 40% of the students who graduated in July 2011 have already signed for permanent position as an engineer. 
  • An industrial partnership was also signed in July 2011 with ERDF which supplies electricity to 95% of France.
