Description and objectives
Learning in a different way,__to become an Engineer : sandwich courses and Work Based Learning.IESP Department (Exploitation Engineers of Production Systems) is a department in partnership. The work based learning leads to the French Diploma in Engineering (Master's) respecting the charter of the ITII (Institutes of the Techniques of Engineers of the Industry). Two way of access to the diploma exist : Continuing Vocational Training (CVT) in Lille and Initial Vocational Training (ICT) in Calais with University of Littoral. All the decisions with respect to the training are validated by the joint counsil of IESP (members are equally distributed between industry and school) IESP is a sandwich courses formation_ that lasts 3 years (engineer cycle with two periods: harmonization based on knowledge and learning mechanism and engineer mission period during 2 years). It is composed of academic periods at school (1 week) and periods in the company (3 weeks per month as an average frequency). Pedagogy is based on Work Experience.The training is based on a professional profile (human and technical field of capacity)._Academic Curriculum is General modules Scientific and Technical modules Human Resources sciences Module Trade Module
Language (English)_Project & Work Based experience is 1st year : Project in the firm 2d / 3rd year : Engineer mission The educational process for Exploitation Engineers of Production Systems is therefore a type of vocational training where the student spends time in a classroom and also in a company, in a real work setting. The purpose is to reinforce what the students are learning in their classes and also to test the engineering skills they have acquired. Training presents 3 important periods : Communication seminar HSQE seminar Linguistic seminar abroad Diploma can be obtained within VCT (IESP FC) but also within ICT (IESP2A).Continuous Vocational Training (IESP - CVT, LLL) :This training is dedicated to employees with professional experiences (3 years as a minimum) already graduated as technician or technical certificate (2 years after High school diploma).The academic period at school (1200h) alterns with the Work Based experience in the company (1800h).The learner is accompanied in his studies by a “work tutor” and a “school tutor.” They oversee and evaluate the student during his training period.---
Sectors of activity and career prospects
98% of IESP engineers (production) are business executives in international industrial groups and SMSs. They are adaptable and immediately employable after graduate. Their work experience during training is part of their personal and professional project.
These are some examples of their jobs :
production ingineer operating manager HSQE Engineer Logistics engineer Maintenance executive Methods, Project manager, ...IESP engineers works in all industrials fields : mettalurgy, chimical, foor industry, energy, aeronautics, manufacturer...

During his work based learning situation, the learner or the apprentice takes part directly or indirectly in innovating projects of the company. Innovation can be Research Development projects concerning industrial groups but also technology transfer for SMEs with respect to performance improvement of the production system, optimisation, quality, security, maintenance and organisation...In this framework, the tutoring of the learners and apprentices is specific (and some additive modules of the training too) with regard to the subject taking advantages of the research activity of the school.
Projects and placements
The role of the work placement training periodThe courses reinforce, in large part, the student’s work placement training period, which is a method of learning and allows the students to verify and apply the information learned in class. This is not just a basic training period, between courses at the university and working in a company, it is a vocational training that allows them to practise what they learn in the classroom and apply their newly acquired knowledge to a real work environment.
Beyond providing the student with the opportunity to become progressively independent and to develop their self-learning, the training period is the place where the company, as well as the university, can test the student’s skills during the process of obtaining their diploma, to have the accreditation of the school: the title of engineer. This training period evolves in an industrial work setting. This constitutes a real investment for the company and provides an appropriate environment for the engineering training.
In the framework of this training period, the two tutor structure (school and work) plays a very important role and has created a strong alliance between the university and the companies with whom they collaborate.
