Training programme Bachelor construction
sustainable

The Responsible Engineering and Sustainable Construction“ Bachelor's programme” from BUILDERS School of Engineering is a three-year programme designed to train operational professionals capable of meeting the challenges of the ecological transition and social responsibility in the building and public works sector. This Bachelor's degree is accessible after the baccalauréat and prepares students for professions in high demand in the field of sustainable construction.

Skills base

Training is based on project-based learning, and corporate experience and a international opening

A skills base built around 3 key areas:

 

Students following an engineering course

The first two years of the Bachelor's Programme in Responsible Engineering enable students to acquire the technical and scientific skills they need to understand the challenges of the sustainable construction sector.
They combine theoretical teaching, practical projects and work experience to develop a pragmatic and innovative approach to engineering.

In particular, students explore :

  • Eco-materials and environmental management of construction sites: Understanding bio-sourced and recycled materials, analysing their life cycle and carbon impact.
  • BIM and computer-aided design (CAD): mastering digital tools for the design and management of intelligent buildings and infrastructures.
  • Sustainable construction methods and energy performance: Study of environmental standards and energy optimisation strategies for designing buildings with a low carbon footprint.
  • In addition, these two years include periods in companies, visits to worksites and collaborative workshops for a gradual immersion in the world of construction and sustainable engineering.

From the 2nd year onwards, they can continue with the apprenticeship programme.

In third year Bachelor in Responsible Engineering programme specialise in the key areas of sustainable construction: BIM and digital design, works management or low-carbon energies (nuclear). Thanks to a end-of-studies in-company project, In this way, they put their skills into practice and prepare to enter the world of work.

3rd year 

The third year of the programme is a year of advanced professionalisation, During the final year, students perfect their skills in a number of areas that will be key to their professional development. This final year enables them to hone their expertise and prepare effectively for integration into the world of work.

  • BIM Modelling This specialisation trains experts in digital modelling, capable of designing and optimising the structures of the future using the latest technology. 3D digital model and the Building Information Modeling (BIM). Students learn how to coordinate project participants and anticipate technical issues before the construction phase.

  • Construction management This course prepares students to become project managers in the building and civil engineering sector project management and execution in building and public works. They develop skills in schedule management, team coordination, compliance with safety standards and cost and deadline control.

  • Decarbonised energy (nuclear) : Against a backdrop of energy transition and carbon neutrality, This specialisation trains students in nuclear power's role in low-carbon energy production. They study nuclear power plant technologies, facility safety and the challenges of maintaining and dismantling existing infrastructures. This expertise is invaluable in meeting the growing needs of the energy sector and major infrastructure projects in France and abroad.

At the same time third year includes a final year project 4-month work placement, which is a real springboard towards employment and enables students to demonstrate their skills in real-life conditions.

The Bachelor's degree gives students access to a wide range of professions, such as site manager or BIM designer, thanks to a training programme that combines theory and practice, in particular through numerous projects and work placements.

Courses

Because you never learn better than by doing, each year of the Bachelor's programme includes a work placement. These internships enable students to compare their learning with the reality of the professional world, to build up a culture of worksites, to refine their career plans and to develop the skills expected in the field.
From discovering the world of building and civil engineering to taking on international responsibilities at the end of the course, each experience is a key step towards professional integration.

Students following an engineering course

At the end of the first year, this first contact with the world of work places students at the heart of a construction site. The aim is to understand the workings of the sector, integrate into teams, observe the organisation of a construction project and acquire the right safety reflexes.

Tasks may include:

  • Participation in implementation tasks in the field,
  • Following instructions and complying with safety standards,
  • Observing and learning about the different phases of a worksite,
  • Interaction with technical teams and site managers.

This course is a essential immersive experience which helps students gain a better understanding of the challenges and environment of the construction industry.

Developing an international outlook is a priority for BUILDERS École d'Ingénieurs. In the second year, students spend 6 weeks abroad, learning about other approaches to construction and improving their language and intercultural skills.
This stay can take different forms:

  • Work placement Integration into a construction or engineering company for a specific assignment,
  • Academic mobility Participation in an exchange programme at a partner university,
  • International project A sustainable construction project with local players.

This experience enables students to strengthen their ability to adapt and position themselves on the job market with an international dimension.

 

 

In the third year, students complete their degree course with a end-of-studies project (PFE) 4-month work placement. The aim of this assignment is to apply all the skills acquired during the course, by tackling a specific problem assigned by a company in the sector.

The EFP can cover different areas, depending on the specialisation chosen:

  • BIM Designer development and optimisation of a digital mock-up of a building, management of interactions between project stakeholders.
  • Construction management site supervision, deadline and cost management, team management.

Decarbonised energy (nuclear) : study and improvement of energy infrastructure design and maintenance processes.

This project represents a a key step towards professional integration, It allows students to demonstrate their expertise and establish direct contact with recruiters.

Work-study

From the second year onwards, students can opt for a work-linked training to reinforce their immersion in the professional world. This scheme makes it possible to combining theory and field experience by joining a construction company while continuing their training.

Work-linked training is particularly well suited to students who want to develop their professional skills quickly and benefit from a period of work experience. paid contract while developing the skills that employers are looking for
