General engineer, student curriculum, third-year expertise in Materials and Decarbonized Energy for a Sustainable Industry (under an apprenticeship or professional training contract).
In partnership with ArcelorMittal Maizières Research and Vinci Energies.
Campus
Arts et Métiers Campus Arts et Métiers Metz
Context and purpose of the assessment
Expertise enables the acquisition of a set of knowledge and skills on the decarbonization of materials (steels) by focusing on strategy:
- Develop (metallurgy, understand and improve material development processes, etc.);
- Transform and optimize (innovative processes, process optimization);
- Characterize (conduct an LCA, environmental impact analysis, carbon footprint assessment).
The program provides access to careers as industrial decarbonization engineers, process engineers, QA (quality assurance) engineers, energy performance engineers, mechanical engineers (generalists) with skills in digitalization and energy issues, etc.
Objectives
Upon completion of the expert training, learners will be able to:
• Mastering the mechanical, microstructural, and physicochemical properties of materials, depending on their structure, manufacture, transformation, use, and end of life;
• Mastering the consequences of energy choices on the carbonation of industrial products;
• Know how to conduct a life cycle assessment (LCA) of materials from the extraction of raw materials to end-of-life scenarios;
• Understand and develop material production and transformation processes (steel, plastics, etc.) by optimizing their performance/environmental footprint ratios throughout their life cycle, using AI approaches (data-based models, process monitoring, deviation detection, etc.).
Specific feature: one year alternating between school and work experience
This training is offered in the form of a 12-month apprenticeship or professional training contract.
During this year, the learner alternates between school and their company for periods of approximately three weeks.
Each year, the school offers several companies wishing to recruit a student on an apprenticeship or professional training contract (ArcelorMittal, Vinci Energies, etc.). It is entirely possible to combine this training with another company, provided that arrangements have been made in advance.
Program
In addition to the core curriculum of the third year, this expertise consists of three skill sets and associated teaching units (TU):
Related skill blocks:
- Develop
- Transform/Optimize
- Characterize
Optional: dual degree in engineering and management
A course module, specifically designed for future engineers, allows students to obtain a dual degree in engineering and management in one year. The aim is to promote a culture of entrepreneurship and innovation through a partnership with theIAE Metz. Learn more about this dual degree and how to enroll.
Key scientific and educational leaders
Teaching is mainly carried out by faculty members. from the Laboratory for the Study of Microstructures and Materials Mechanics (LEM3) and the Control Design Laboratory (LCFC). Several manufacturers, including ArcelorMittal and Vinci Energies, are also participating in this training program to share their experiences and provide concrete examples from their careers.

The strengths of the training program
- A skills-oriented program: the "Decarbonized Materials and Energy for a Sustainable Industry" expertise consists of a set of skill blocks that enable candidates to develop their skills around one of the key themes of their future profession.
- A work-study teaching approach: beyond traditional face-to-face teaching methods between teachers and students, Arts et Métiers a methodical, project-based teaching approach. This process, which is particularly well suited to work-study programs, aims to get students more involved in the field and make them more independent.
- Individualized support: throughout their training, each student benefits from dual mentoring provided by a trainer at the school and a mentor at the company. Thanks to a professional training program, students acquire professional skills that make them immediately operational.
- Courses taught by experts from the business world or professors from various Arts et Métiers campuses.
- Paid training: students are paid at least 80% of the minimum wage (depending on their age).
