objective
To train expert engineers capable of modeling, analyzing, sizing and designing complex infrastructure while addressing the digital, environmental, regulatory and societal challenges of the construction industry.
INTRODUCTION
Become a specialist in complex infrastructure design
Modern infrastructure demands ever more advanced skills in design, numerical modeling, structural analysis and project management. Faced with the challenges of the ecological transition, digitalization and the optimization of structures, companies are looking for engineers who can master the entire infrastructure life cycle.
Accredited by the Commission des Titres d’Ingénieur (CTI), this program builds recognized expertise in civil engineering, advanced modeling, BIM and complex project management, with close ties to companies in the industry.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW
This program focuses on mastering the tools of structural design, structural analysis, advanced numerical modeling and project management, as well as the humanities, in order to train engineers who can meet the technical, environmental and digital challenges of the construction industry.
SEMESTER 1 – CORE CURRICULUM
This semester covers the fundamentals of infrastructure engineering through: structural design, geotechnical engineering, construction materials and their environmental impact, numerical modeling and the contract management of construction operations. These subjects develop the skills needed to design high-performance, sustainable structures that comply with regulatory requirements.
SEMESTER 2 – SPECIALIZATION
Applied advanced modeling and simulation methods are tailored to the different types of complex structures. Modeling skills are developed through several options, chosen by each student according to the field of professional application they are aiming for:
- Infrastructure and geotechnical engineering,
- Engineering structures and transportation infrastructure,
- Earthquake and nuclear engineering
- Smart buildings.
The professional approach is tailored either to design office work or to construction site management, through two distinct tracks.
SEMESTER 3 – FINAL INTERNSHIP
The professional placement allows students to apply the skills they have acquired to real-world projects within a company. Placements may focus on structural analysis, advanced modeling, detailed design, BIM, construction site coordination or the performance analysis of structures. A report and an oral defense showcase this experience in a concise, synthesized form
skills acquired
Design and size complex infrastructure.
Master numerical modeling methods and the finite element method.
Manage engineering projects in a design office or in construction management.
Perform structural analyses and advanced simulations.
Integrate BIM tools and digital twins into projects.
Integrate environmental, economic and regulatory constraints into technical decisions
careers
Graduates can go on to positions such as:
- Structural engineer
- Geotechnical engineer
- Advanced modeling engineer
- Analysis and simulation engineer
- Infrastructure project manager
- BIM / digital twin expert
- Complex engineering consultant
- Design office manager
- Specialized construction engineer
In sectors such as: design and inspection firms, major construction companies, engineering and consulting firms, and infrastructure operators (transportation, energy or engineering structures).
This program therefore leads to rapid employment with engineering design offices, construction companies, engineering firms, project owners or public bodies. In addition, its links to research make it possible to go on to a PhD in France or abroad.
