Master's Degree in Engineering Grenoble INP - Ense3, Energy systems and associated markets (SEM)

Summary

This specialization is distinguished by its emphasis on the global vision of energy systems, with study not only of the technical aspects but also of the economic issues. This specialization deals with three aspects in particular: energy supply system design, safety issues of critical infrastructure and the processes relevant to energy markets.

Objectives

Engineers graduating with this specialization can: ​​​​​​​

• Design, optimize and supervise energy systems
• Integrate decentralized energy production systems
• Develop hydrogen and renewable energy technologies
• Operate within energy markets
• Implement infrastructure safety
• Establish specifications or a technical dossier for energy systems
• Complete the full cycle of applied research from early proposal stages through to the production of final results in all the energy domains
• Manage the material and human resources required for production, design or research teams.

Entry requirements

To be admitted into Year 1 (at two years of post-secondary study), students must have completed two years of preparatory courses (science-track or Institute of Technology common preparatory program) or have earned an undergraduate degree from a university (in France, mainly DUT or L2).

This specialization is open to students in the 2nd year of the engineering program, in other words after a bachelor.

Semester 10

Final project work: master thesis (30 ECTS)

The final semester of the Grenoble INP-Ense3s course is exclusively dedicated to the End of Studies Project.
This occurs from February to June, either overseas or in France, in a research laboratory or in industry. This allows students to use the methods and knowledge they have acquired in a professional environment. They will experience engineering working methods, learn how to manage a project and develop their autonomy and initiative.

The End of Studies Project also develops their sense of responsibility by submitting them to a demand for results within a pre-determined time frame. The student engineer is required to produce a report and take a viva on their project.

Board of examiners

Each semester is worth 30 ECTS credits, spread out over the different courses completed. Students must obtain a grade of at least 10/20 in each course to obtain the credits.

International exchange

Students in this major benefit from many agreements between Grenoble Institute of Technology and partners around the globe in the form of exchange programs, dual-degree programs, internships, and more.
