Industrial engineering

ENSIACET Industrial engineers blend the expertise of a high-level multidisciplinary engineer with the strategic vision of a technical manager. With a robust scientific and technical foundation, they seamlessly coordinate the interfaces between industrial process control and the management of complex, integrated systems. They are ready and dedicated to shaping the factory of the future.

Objectives

ENSIACET industrial engineering major aims to train competent engineers in all the key aspects of industrial organization, giving them the knowledge and skills sought and adapted to all sectors of activity, from traditional manufacturing industries to digital and service companies. Industrial Engineers from Toulouse INP-ENSIACET can perform in any industrial sector, and deal with the physical system of the company (engineering, industrialization, production), with more transversal functions (quality, information systems, logistics) as well as the global industrial process (project management, support for innovation, business creation). A trademark of Toulouse INP-ENSIACET’s industrial engineering curriculum is to mix the industrial engineering discipline with chemical engineering processes and technologies.

Features

• An integrating vision of the function of the engineer in the chain of design / development / exploitation of industrial products
• The ability to perform inside a complex and integrated industrial process
• The ability to collaborate efficiently with all the actors of an industrial process
• The ability to set industrial targets (performance indicators, planning, budget), quantify and monitor industrial performance
• The technological skills specific to industrial processes for the transformation of matter and energy

Skills

• Design, control and management of industrial projects (technology, economic and human resources)
• Management and optimization of industrial operations and the associated supply chain, internal or external to the company
• Quality management and quantification
• Design, deployment and maintenance of the companies’ information systems
• Analysis and operation of equipment and process units

Third-year core curriculum 

In the first semester of the third year, the school offers a core curriculum shared by all five specializations (Chemistry, Materials, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, and Industrial Engineering). This core curriculum provides students with a comprehensive understanding of matter and energy transformation, reflecting the hallmark of the ENSIACET engineer: an open and interdisciplinary profile.
