Created in 2012 in response to a request from manufacturers, the Energy Efficiency and Facilities Management (EEM) engineering program prepares future engineers to supervise industrial projects, while integrating safety and security considerations for energy facilities. This programme is offered in partnership with ITII.

Skills developed:

• Energy: production, maintenance and quality management skills.
• Project management: scientific and technical knowledge
• Business management: knowledge and experience in the management and supervision of a production facility for goods and equipment, products or services, or to create and develop such structures.
• International: English practice and work experience in international companies.

Most of the courses are located on the ECAM LaSalle campus in Lyon.

The Energy Efficiency and Facilities Management engineering programme is offered in partnership with ITII Lyon, which oversees the administrative management. IUT Lyon 1 (Claude Bernard University) and IRI (for social science courses) are also involved in the programme.

A minimum three-month internship abroad in the second or third year. The school can draw on its network of partner companies around the world.

111 weeks at company with engineering responsibilities. 

In the energy sector, corporate assignments focus primarily on the following issues:

• Installation: Feasibility and economic profitability study for a project, process optimisation, coordination of energy-related projects
• Maintenance: Organise and maintain equipment, coordinate work
• Quality Safety Environment: Disseminate best safety practices for a facility and ensure they are followed, Audit and upgrade a facility to meet safety standards.
