Environmental Engineering (CSE 2E)

Environmental engineering is a branch of engineering that applies the principles of science and engineering to improve the natural environment. It involves the study of the interaction between the environment and various human activities, such as industrial processes, transportation, and construction, among others. Environmental engineers design and implement solutions to prevent, control, or remediate environmental problems, such as air and water pollution, waste management, and climate change. The goal of environmental engineering is to protect human health and the environment by promoting sustainable development practices that balance economic, social, and environmental factors.

The aim of environmental engineering is to provide sustainable solutions to environmental problems by applying scientific and engineering principles. The field has evolved over the years, and its focus has shifted from end-of-pipe solutions, such as pollution control and waste treatment, to more holistic approaches that address the root causes of environmental problems. The ultimate goal of environmental engineering is to create a sustainable future, where the natural environment is protected, and human activities are in harmony with nature. This includes promoting the use of renewable resources, reducing waste generation, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing the use of harmful chemicals. Additionally, environmental engineering also aims to promote social equity and justice, by ensuring that environmental risks and benefits are shared equitably among all members of society. Overall, the aim of environmental engineering is to achieve a balance between economic growth, social development, and environmental protection for the benefit of present and future generations.

Environmental engineers need a strong foundation in scientific competencies to be successful in their field. Here are some of the key scientific competencies that are required:

• Environmental chemistry
• Environmental microbiology
• Hydrology and water resources
• Soil science
• Environmental physics
• Environmental biology
• Data analysis and modeling

Environmental engineering requires a diverse set of skills that combine scientific and technical expertise with critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving abilities.

CSE 2E Syllabus
 

Biomedical engineering (CSE BME)

In a context of life expectancy increase, new pandemic threats, climate change and exhaustion of fossile resources, biotechnologies represent hope to address these crucial challenges. At the crossroads of engineering and life sciences, bioengineering brings a new paradigm as well as innovative solutions for issues on health, disability inclusion, sustainable production, reduction of the ecological footprint, or even innovative modes of power production.

Living matter is characterized by a high level of complexity that comes from its multiscale & dynamic organization. The Centrale Méditerranée Master's track in Biomedical engineering addresses such complexity of life and of major future challenges by covering a large number of topics related to biomedical engineering:

• Multiphysics and multiscale tissues & systems modeling,
• Quantitative imaging for diagnosis and therapy, imaging techniques & devices,
• Bioinformatics/statistics, data science & machine learning, signal & image processing,
• Material sciences and biomechanics, CAD & design of medical devices,
• Biotechnologies, bioprocesses & chemical therapy.
