Energy and Electrical Engineering Specialization

Energy and the management of its environmental impacts are among the major societal challenges of the 21st century. Companies in this sector have a growing need for engineers trained in this broad field, which requires a wide range of skills.

Training

A multidisciplinary approach is essential to addressing energy challenges

The curriculum in the Energy Department consists of a core foundation in electrical engineering (electrical engineering, electronics, industrial computing, and automation), supplemented by courses in the fields of thermal and mechanical engineering.
This multidisciplinary approach provides engineering students with a systems-based understanding of energy systems—from production to end use—and, above all, a strong ability to adapt in the workplace.

The Energy Department promotes this systemic approach and covers the entire energy chain:

  • energy production, whether in the form of electricity or heat,
    from fossil or renewable sources,
  • energy conversion, transmission, and distribution, as well as energy storage,
  • the various uses of energy in housing, transportation, and industry.

Your Responsibilities

  • Design, monitor, and innovate in systems for the management, generation, conversion, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy
  • Manage development projects in electrical and energy engineering.

Objectives

The Energy Department promotes a systems-based approach and thus covers the entire energy chain:

  • the design and engineering of energy systems
  • the production and transmission of energy, whether in the form of electricity, heat, or
  • hydrogen, whether from fossil fuels or renewable sources
  • the various uses of energy in housing, transportation, and industry

Through this new department, engineering students will be able to approach the field of energy—in terms of innovation, the market, and services—as true project managers.

The key components of this training program, which incorporates technical, economic, regulatory, environmental, and societal considerations, will be:

  • expertise in production processes for storage technologies
  • expertise in energy management for hybrid systems that incorporate technical, economic, regulatory, societal, and environmental constraints

testimonials

I chose to enroll at UTBM primarily for its Energy Department.
The courses did not disappoint me. In fact, the extensive resources made available (fuel cells, small wind turbines, etc.), as well as the hands-on lab work, project management, and two 6-month internships at companies, provided me with a comprehensive, highly technical education.
The breadth of the renewable energy courses I took was a real asset when I was hired by EDF.
Having studied electronics, industrial computing, thermal engineering, and energy management has enabled me to work today as an electrical training instructor at hydroelectric power plants.
