Training courses
GEn’s admission requirements are designed to select sudents who are the most likely to succeed in their learning and to fullfil the values we expect from a future engineer in Energy and Environment.
Every year, a ratio from 65 to 70 students graduate after a 5 year-study cycle.
Our graduate students are multidisciplinary engineers in the fields of energy and environment, and contributors to ecological and energy transitions.
The GEn engineers mainly work in areas like energy production and distribution, building energy, energy consulting, processes and environment with the aim of increasing their capacities to adapt and progress in various careers.
They are trained to set up :
- Their expertise in improving the efficiency of energy and process engineering systems ;
- Multi-energy systems including decarbonised sources ;
- Ecotechnologies and industrial and territorial ecology strategies ;
- Management systems and analysis methods as part of an SDRS initiative for organisations.
The GEn department was created in 1975 after the first « oil crisis », a period which also led to the emergence of environmental awareness. In 2001, the specialization « Environment » was added to the syllabus.
The INSA GEn department is supported by :

The 3-year cycle in GEn is structured around five teaching units called UE :
The various courses are based on practical work carried out on more than 50 test benches spread over 5 platforms : Energetics, Thermal engines, Process and environmental engineering, Electrical machines and Process control.
Teamwork and project management are implemented during the 3rd and 5th years of study within the framework of the GEnEPI : GEn Interdisciplinary Project Team. The teaching model includes as well the study of two modern languages and sports practice.
The training focuses on the engineer's writing and oral communication skills. The teaching team works extensively on the written work produced by the GEn students during their studies (practical work, projects, internships) to enable them to write clear, pedagogical and synthetic reports, supported by a relevant and correctly referenced bibliography in French and in English. Similar work is carried out on oral communication.
GEn students complete two long internships (at least 20 weeks) during their training :
