Curriculum
Dual expertise has become essential to support the transformations currently shaping the agricultural sector, where plant and animal production must be as neutral as possible in terms of human health and environmental impact.
The Agriculture & Digital Technologies professional field is offered at Master’s level at ISEN. It is primarily intended for students from the post-baccalaureate Agronomy and Ecology cycle, as well as for students from university institutes of technology (IUT) in Biology who have completed a digital technologies bridging program upon joining the school at Bachelor’s degree level (BAC+2).
The program aims to train future engineers to restore full value to natural resources and the agricultural products derived from them. Achieving this objective requires in-depth knowledge of life sciences applied to agricultural production, combined with strong command of digital technologies in order to better understand environmental parameter analysis methods (monitoring and prediction) that help optimize production tools in response to new ecological constraints.
Mastery of these technologies also enables the design of biomass recycling chains, transforming non-processed biomass into energy resources or soil nutrients.
In addition to these technical areas, engineers are also trained in the human, social and economic aspects of the field.
Together, these competencies shape engineering profiles capable of addressing the full range of agricultural challenges, engaging with all stakeholders, and proactively proposing solutions to improve practices across the sector.
