Speciality Land infrastructure and soft mobility

The Construction Engineering Programme at BUILDERS School of Engineering offers a speciality in “Land infrastructure and soft mobility". These infrastructures and major projects such as engineering structures have a significant impact on society and the economy. They facilitate trade, improve mobility and contribute to infrastructure development. By designing and building these structures, engineers play a decisive role in the progress and well-being of communities. Their work creates jobs, stimulates the local economy and contributes to the resilience of infrastructures in the face of future challenges.

Areas of expertise
and sustainable infrastructure

  • Roads and transport networks : Design and management of roads, motorways, railways and public transport networks, incorporating innovative solutions to optimise logistics and distribution.
  • Hydraulic and Urban Infrastructures : Building facilities, wastewater treatment plants and managing networks (electricity, internet, telephony, wastewater) to ensure a resilient, high-performance infrastructure.
  • Works of Art : Designing bridges, tunnels and other complex structures to support soft mobility projects and strengthen regional connectivity.

Versatile speciality
and focused on innovation

Engineers are the architects of the invisible. They transform bold ideas into detailed plans, taking into account technical, environmental and economic constraints. Their expertise enables them to design structures that not only meet functional needs, but also blend harmoniously into their environment. Thanks to their creativity and capacity for innovation, our engineers are constantly pushing back the boundaries of what is possible, creating engineering structures that become symbols of progress and modernity.

 

This speciality, taught as part of the Construction Engineering Programme, places particular emphasis on :

  • Life cycle analysis and the development of alternative materials to reduce environmental impact, an essential asset for the modern transport engineer.
  • Applied mathematics, structural physics and numerical sciences, the essential foundations for designing and managing large-scale projects.
  • Innovative techniques in electronics and project management, enabling students to position themselves as leaders in the sector's job market.
  • Safety and sustainability : lafety is an absolute priority in the design and construction of engineering structures. Engineers must ensure that each structure is capable of withstanding natural forces and human stresses. They carry out complex calculations and simulations to anticipate stresses and guarantee the stability and durability of structures. Their rigour and attention to detail are essential to protect users and preserve the integrity of structures over the long term.

It operates in a variety of fields, including the public and private sectors, where skills in infrastructure management and technological innovation are particularly in demand to meet today's challenges.

This speciality of the BUILDERS Ecole d'Ingénieurs Construction Engineering Programme enables students to prepare effectively for careers as land infrastructure and soft mobility engineers. It offers a comprehensive, professional pathway, integrating theoretical and practical training, to enable students to evolve in a rapidly changing sector and propose solutions adapted to today's environmental and logistical challenges.

Job opportunities and career prospects

An engineering degree opens the door to a wide range of rewarding careers in :

  • Research and development (R&D) engineering : Our engineers are at the cutting edge of technological innovation. They incorporate the latest advances in materials, construction techniques and digital technologies to improve the efficiency and performance of engineering structures. Whether it's the use of composite materials, 3D printing or BIM (Building Information Modeling), engineers are constantly exploring new solutions to optimise construction processes and reduce environmental impact. Some of them will specialise in R&D;
  • Project management, Building a structure is a complex project that requires the coordination of many players: architects, contractors, suppliers and local authorities. Engineers play a key role in managing these projects, ensuring that each phase is completed on time and to quality standards. Their ability to communicate effectively and solve problems in real time is crucial to the success of the project.

CIRCLE project: draining and sustainable concrete

From 2020 to 2023, BUILDERS coordinated the European project CIRCLE, This innovative solution meets the challenges of urban development and sustainable rainwater management. This innovative solution meets the challenges of urban development and sustainable rainwater management. Tested on several pilot sites in France and the UK, the project brings together research, industry and local authorities.
