Master of Science in Industrial Engineering - Construction
The profession
The major fields of construction engineering - building, civil engineering, soil and foundation studies, water management, etc. - are all facing new economic, social and environmental challenges. - are all facing new economic, social and environmental challenges.
Faced with these challenges, industrial engineers draw on applied technical knowledge and a multidisciplinary, global approach to construction to find optimal, innovative solutions, whether in :
- Design or renovation of buildings or engineering structures
- Dimensioning structural elements
- Optimising thermal and acoustic performance
- Choosing the most appropriate materials and construction methods
- Managing schedules, budgets and site teams
- …
In particular, ECAM aims to train construction engineers who are rigorous, able to work in a team, solutions-oriented, critical and autonomous.
Organisation of studies
The course combines theoretical input with practical applications. Project, design office and laboratory activities, carried out in groups, complement the theoretical concepts covered in the lectures and exercises. The aim of all these activities is to acquire a solid grounding in the major areas of construction:
- Calculation and sizing,
- Building materials,
- Soils and geotechnics,
- Building,
- Civil engineering and hydraulics,
- Site and construction project management.
For each topic, aspects relating to dimensioning and execution techniques are covered, in order to combine theoretical optimisation with practical implementation.
The course focuses on small groups of students, to help them gradually acquire the various skills they need and become independent learners. In addition, through the two work placements (in Bac 3 and Master 2) and the TFE, the course is designed to have links with the professional world. Various external contributors, chosen for their technical expertise, also take part in the learning activities.
