Controversies” at Mines Paris – PSL

Third-year students on the Civil Engineering cycle take the Description of Controversies course as part of their curriculum. The aim of this course is to make engineering students aware of changes in their professional and civic context. The aim is to introduce them to the uncertain world of scientific and technical research by describing an object: the socio-technical controversy.

The Environmental Controversy Prize will be awarded to the best project, following a public vote and a presentation of the 5 nominated projects at the 1st TTI.5 Forum “The security challenges of climate change”.
