Digital Technologies, Environment & Sustainable Development Engineer

The Digital Technologies, Environment & Sustainable Development professional field enables future engineers to bring together the digital revolution and the ecological transition, equipping them with the skills to contribute to sustainable development.

This professional field first focuses on the sustainable and smart city. Students explore, for example, sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT), and their role in optimizing energy consumption in homes, buildings and cities. Artificial Intelligence is studied from an environmental optimization perspective, such as predicting pollution peaks and identifying solutions to reduce emissions linked to mobility. Digital modeling tools are also used to determine which rooftops are best suited for installing photovoltaic panels and producing renewable electricity. These same digital technologies—IoT, Artificial Intelligence and modeling—are also applied to real-time environmental monitoring in order to better protect natural ecosystems.

After graduation, engineers who have completed the Digital Technologies, Environment & Sustainable Development professional field pursue careers in companies specializing in urban networks (water, energy, waste, transport), as well as in organizations working toward a circular economy or environmental protection. Opportunities for entrepreneurship are also numerous.
