EPF Ecole d'ingénieurs

Developing skills and competencies

At the start of the 4th year, the engineering student chooses a field of study from 2 options: Industrial Engineering or Information Sciences. Students choose their specialization during their 4th year. Their choice may be influenced by their preferences and skills or by job market and sector trends. Their specialization will help determine their first job. However, the versatility of EPF's engineering training means that students have a range of career options available. Each specialization may be taken on various specialty tracks.

Industrial engineering

Aeronautics and Space: Our general engineers are taught broader skills related to aerospace vehicle design.

Energy and the Environment: trains engineers interested in new issues related to energy production, transport and distribution and its impact on the environment.

Industrial and Logistics Engineering: trains specialists in cross-disciplinary industrial engineering, with a double focus on: production and supply chain management, as well as corporate management and strategic analysis.

Material and Structural Mechanics: looks at a wide range of materials used in general structures, with specific focuses on civil engineering, automobile manufacture, the naval industry or offshore.

Environmental & Innovative Engineering (coursework in English): aims to train general engineers who are individually and socially responsible and capable of selling and implementing the sustainable solutions of the future.

Water, Energy and The Environment aims to teach professional skills in the fields of water and energy. It should also train students to critically analyse the policies in effect in these areas and encourage new ideas for the future.

Information Sciences

Project Engineering / Engineering Management / Finance (some coursework in English): trains general engineers in both technical issues and management, so they learn to negotiate large-scale projects in France and abroad.

Management of Information Technology and Communication: trains top-level IT engineers in Information Systems and Networks and Telecommunications to be specialists with a good general foundation.

Bio-Systems Engineering: In partnership with Université Paris V, Paris XIII and Rennes I. Students enrolled in this programme receive double degrees: a general engineering degree from EPF and a Master's in Biomedical Computing. (This specialization is only open to french students).
