Description

L’enseignement consiste à définir et à expliquer ce qu’est une analyse du cycle de vie selon la norme ISO 14040, ISO 14044 (2006 et revisitée en 2020). Le cours se subdivise en quatre chapitres : Définition et objectifs du champ de l’étude, Analyse de l’inventaire, Evaluation des impacts, Interprétation des résultats et recommandations.
Le cours sera jalonné d’exemples pour faciliter sa compréhension et ces exemples seront issus d’études de cas choisis par les élèves (travaillant en binôme).
The course consists of defining and explaining what a life cycle analysis is according to ISO 14040, ISO 14044 (2006 and revised in 2020). The course is divided into four chapters: Definition and scope of study, Inventory analysis, Impact assessment, Interpretation of results and recommendations.
The course will be punctuated with examples to facilitate its understanding and these examples will come from case studies chosen by the students (working in pairs).


A la fin de cette UE vous serez capable de :

  • Analyser et de critiquer une ACV ou un écobilan déjà existant
  • Appliquer l’ACV dans un travail pratique personnalisé en choisissant un cas réel
  • Réaliser un rapport de votre ACV et le présenter oralement
  • Analyze and criticize an existing LCA or ecobalance
  • Apply LCA in personalized practical work by choosing a real case
  • Produce a report of your LCA and present it

School regulations

The curriculum includes three years of study: admissions, the organisation of studies, assessments, placements and vivas, graduation and international exchanges are all explained in the current school rules (pdf).

First and second year courses

First and second year courses

  • General modules: mechanics, geology, mathematics, IT, digital analysis, signal processing, inverse methods.
  • Geophysical methods: physics of the Earth, seismology, seismic modelling and imaging, geodesy, gravimetry, potential methods, geomagnetism, electromagnetism, rock physics and fracture, hydrology.
  • Practical work: geophysical measurements in the field (photo) and in the laboratory, geology field placements in the Alps.
  • Languages and economic and social sciences: English, modern language 2, economics, industrial property, management, sustainable development, ethics, quality, company health and safety
  • IT and research projects, shared with the first year of the master’s degree
  • Summer placements at a laboratory or company, with numerous opportunities abroad (international placement contact: Mike Heap)

Third year course

Students have a choice of 3 specialisations in the third year:

  • Geophysics applied to the exploration and production of raw materials: seismic and hydrodynamic characterisation of reservoirs, seismic processing and interpretation, potential methods.
  • Geophysics applied to geotechnics: geotechnics and the resistance of materials applied in civil engineering, geomechanics, hydrogeophysics, electromagnetic methods, earthquake.
  • Hydrogeology, hydrogeochemistry, hydrogeophysics (HydroG3).

Additional teaching:

  • Languages and economic and social sciences: English, energy economy, company strategy and structure.
  • Geophysics field camp in Alsace (photo).  Here are images of a normal fault in the Rhine Graben taken by students.
  • 6-month industry placement culminating in the writing of a dissertation and a viva before a jury in order to obtain the engineering degree. The placements are carried out all over the world.
