IS Cycle: Program (FA)
The program alternates between school and work, offering apprentices a gradual immersion into the engineering profession.
The work periods are an essential part of the training, allowing students to acquire working methods and key professional skills: project management, communication, management, and organizational skills that complement the engineer’s technical expertise.
Syllabus
1800 h over 3 years, divided into 5 modules:
- Engineering sciences: Applied mathematics, electrical energy, dynamics of mechanical systems, applied physics.
- Regulation, control and networks: measurement chains, automation, sensors and regulation.
- Engineering management methods: Project management, Functioning of organizations, Economic calculation, Team management, Marketing.
- Communication and NTIC: English, Information systems, communication, BIM.
- Energy (basics) : Thermodynamics, Thermal engineering, Fluid mechanics, HVAC engineering, Electrical engineering.
- Energy (Applications): Renewable energies, building or nuclear thermal engineering (neutronics and energy cycles), energy optimization.
In-company training involves carrying out projects related to the training program. The acquisition of in-company skills is validated by the writing of project briefs and oral presentations.

Minimum 2 months’ international experience
An assignment abroad of at least 2 months is compulsory during the course.
Apprentices spend a minimum of 2 months between July and October at the end of 2nd year, either in a foreign company or in a foreign research laboratory. The aim of the foreign assignment is to :
- open up to other technical and organizational fields;
- acquire professional experience in a different cultural, linguistic or industrial context;
- adapt quickly to an unfamiliar context; communicate in a different linguistic and cultural environment;
- deepen linguistic and cultural skills through integration in a foreign country.
