Context, objectives and positioning of the program

Context: The societal challenge

Preserving water quality for future populations, air quality and, more generally, the quality of our environment is one of humanity's major challenges. The concept of sustainable development, “a mode of development that aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (Bruntland Report, 1987), has highlighted the finite nature of land resources and the resulting environmental challenge.

Objectives of the program

Resource conservation requires the development of sustainable solutions to complex environmental problems, taking into account societal, regulatory and economic aspects. It calls for technical solutions to limit pollution and recycle, as do natural ecosystems, it is also a matter of governance.

The objective of the program is to provide the future engineer with tools to understand and identify the different levels of action, and to develop technical solutions.

Positioning: the engineer's tools for developing a sustainable economy
