Why should I become a renewable energy and energy efficiency engineer?

The program trains engineers to be capable of meeting the challenges of climate change and the energy transition by transforming supply (decarbonization of the energy mix, increased use of renewable energies) and controlling demand (energy sobriety and efficiency) in their technological, economic, and regulatory dimensions, with particular attention to digital tools (modelling, simulation, optimization, connected objects, data processing) and their implementation at different scales (building, neighbourhood, city, etc.) 

What will the programme bring me?

Objectives
To build knowledge of the energy context of the 21st century and its challenges (energy, climate)
To master the methods, techniques and tools of energy efficiency, particularly in the building sector
To master the main technologies for decarbonizing the energy mix (renewable energies, energy recovery, energy storage, etc.)

How is the programme structured?

At the end of the first year of the engineering cycle, students choose their field of study. The course of study is spread over two years with compulsory and optional scientific and technical courses, management courses and modern languages.

Programme

2nd year of the engineering cycle

The courses take place over two semesters, each one subdivided into two periods. The first semester consists of two teaching periods. The second semester is made up of one teaching period and an internship period of at least 12 weeks. From January to April, students must work in teams on multidisciplinary projects proposed by industrial partners, laboratories or ESIEE Paris teachers.  All students may take optional modern language 2 courses.

  • UE - Advanced science and technology (330 h - 27 ECTS)
  • UE - Open science and technology (90 h - 10 ECTS)
  • UE - Management and human sciences (120 h - 7 ECTS)
  • UE - Modern languages (76 h - 4 ECTS)
  • Internship (12 ECTS)


3rd year of the engineering cycle

The courses take place over in two semesters. The first semester consists of two teaching periods. In the second semester, the student must complete an end-of-studies internship of at least 24 weeks (6 months) in a company or research laboratory.

  • UE - Advanced science and technology (180 h - 18 ECTS)
  • UE - Open science and technology (60 h - 5 ECTS)
  • UE - Management and human sciences (90 h - 5 ECTS)
  • UE - Modern languages (42 h - 4 ECTS)
  • Internship (30 ECTS)
