Shipping Engineer

Diversification and energy management, innovative propulsion systems, comfort, air quality, digitalisation, intelligent and autonomous ships, pollution control, supply chains: the shipping industry is constantly changing and there are many areas for development. In all these areas, engineers play an essential role in facing the many challenges: they conduct ambitious projects in both design and production, organize and lead teams, develop surface and underwater vehicles of all sizes, and help to improve the environmental impact. The new shipping course meets a real need for expertise from companies in this sector.

From the preparatory cycle to fifth year: a curriculum to prepare for the shipping industry

Being a naval engineer means working on diversification and energy management, innovative propulsion systems, comfort, air quality, digitalisation, intelligent and autonomous ships, ocean depollution and the ship building supply chain. It may be technical management of a development programme, conducting tests, developing production methods, optimising quality processes, prospecting for and negotiating contracts.

The shipping training programme prepares for the major challenges facing the sector. It starts with the preparatory cycle. During these first 2 years, students are introduced to the main concepts in the shipping sector. During the 3-year engineering course, students carry out numerous application projects.
