Student Track and Apprentice Track
To design, size, simulate, and implement industrial electrical systems; manage industrial and R&D projects; and conduct tests, measurements, and trials.
The electrical engineering apprenticeship program draws on the state-of-the-art facilities of the UTBM’s Energy Department. The department operates a training and technology transfer platform focused on land transportation and energy. This platform enables apprentices to develop projects aligned with existing and emerging technologies.
It also benefits from the Energy Department’s industrial, academic, and international connections and partnerships. Each year, apprentices complete 600 hours at the school and 1,000 hours at a company, following a progressive work-study schedule. This alternating schedule—between periods of training and on-the-job experience—allows students to combine the acquisition of theoretical knowledge with its application in an industrial setting.
Objectives
Training Organization
During the three-year program, the curriculum focuses on the fields of electrical engineering, power electronics, automation, industrial computing, and electronics. Mathematics, project management, communication, and English are also key components of the program.
The final semester of the program allows students to apply the skills they have acquired through technical projects, just as they would in an engineering firm. Examples of projects undertaken include: an electric go-kart, a hybrid vehicle, and an autonomous robot.

Suprakart Project
Develop and design an electric go-kart
This project involves the design, development, and construction of an electric-powered go-kart. This project was assigned to the first class of engineering students as a group project to be completed during their third year.
The goal is to build a go-kart by applying the skills acquired during the three years of engineering training.
Indeed, while drawing on the knowledge and expertise gained, students will need to demonstrate initiative, independence, and commitment to achieve the best results.
To carry out this project, the apprentice group divided itself into various design teams. Each student joined the team of their choice based on their professional experience and skills.
This is how the TESLA class organized itself into five teams to develop the electric go-kart. Each team is responsible not only for designing its own component but also for monitoring progress, organization, scheduling, and coordination among the various design teams.
This joint project fits perfectly within the framework of engineering education through apprenticeships. It is designed to enable each participant to showcase and develop their technical, organizational, and managerial skills as part of a complex engineering project.
