The “options” are clusters of 360 academic hours complemented by a diploma work that lasts at least 16 weeks, internship on an industrial site or in a lab.

Two options are ruled by SPIN:

Process Engineering (French acronym: PRISME)

PRISME is intended for students more interested in sizing and the control and management of industrial plants than in physicochemical models. The positions concerned are engineers in process services, technical assistance, engineering rather than research and development. The option has connections with a large variety of industrial domains: oil and gas industry, chemistry, pharmacy, energy, food industry, metallurgy, and bioprocesses. The academic programme is organized according to four modules: Modelling, Simulation, Environment and Safety, Design project.

Research and Development in Chemical Engineering

R&D is intended for students who want to get involved in research processes to define and to improve new processes. The applications of the domain are relative to mass transformation; it concerns many industrial sectors like nuclear energy, metallurgy, food industry, materials, and geology. The objective of this option is to give students new theoretical knowledge, with new working methods, in particular specific to research as engineer in an industrial framework. The R&D Option students who would be interested in a PhD in France can prepare a diploma in Chemical Engineering (DEA: French acronym for advanced studies diploma) during their academic year. DEA is required for enrolment in the PhD curriculum.
