Program structure
The Energy Environment: Science Technology and Management (STEEM) Master’s Program trains future engineers and project leaders capable of addressing today’s most pressing environmental and energy-related challenges. The program provides a robust scientific foundation in areas such as energy conversion and storage, renewable energy systems, industrial ecology, air and water pollution control, and sustainable resource management. Students also explore emerging methodologies including life-cycle assessment, eco-design, advanced modeling, and data-driven environmental analysis.
Beyond technical excellence, STEEM places a strong emphasis on developing managerial and operational skills. The Program’s faculty—drawn from leading research laboratories and industry partners—work closely with students to ensure they graduate both technically proficient and fully prepared for strategic roles in companies, research institutions, and public agencies. Throughout the curriculum, students benefit from hands-on learning through field visits, interactions with industrial stakeholders, and real-world case studies.
The program includes two internships designed to strengthen professional experience and deepen expertise. The first, at the end of Year 1, spans four months and focuses on carrying out a scientific project within a laboratory or company. The second internship, completed at the end of the Master’s, lasts five to six months and offers students the choice between a research-oriented project or a managerial assignment, allowing them to shape their professional trajectory according to their goals.
Year 1
The first year of the program provides a solid scientific basis on topics relevant to renewable energy sources and the environment such as Greenhouse Gases (GHG) Challenges and Observations, Photovoltaïcs Solar Energy, Hydrology: global changes and their impact on water resources, Meteorology and Environment.
During this year, students attend seven scientific courses, one management course, and have to work on one numerical project. The year ends with a research or industrial internship lasting 16 to 20 weeks.
Year 2
During the second year, students further explore the links between renewable energies and the environment in much more depth such as Nature-Based Solutions to Substitute Fossil Resources and Address Global Change, Sea States, Wave Propagation and Ocean Wave Energy, CO2 Emission Reduction: Substitution Paths, Negative CO2 Emissions and CCUS, Smart Grid for Renewable Energy as well as the impact on the economy. Overal, they have to take six scientific classes, one management class, and work on one management project. An other research or industrial internship takes place at the end of this year, and lasts 20 to 24 weeks.
