Le Mastère Spécialisé Risk Engineering

Presentation

Gilles Mottet

This program was created to fulfil an increasing global market for proficiencies in analysis and treatment of risks intrinsic to industrial and human activities.

The jobs concern international projects, firms or authorities having global activities.

The skills are provided by lectures in English to make the integration in various sectors easier: aerospace, transportation, construction, energy, agriculture, medicine, pharmacy, etc.

Society is faced with two goals that seem to be contradictory :

  • to take risks, for instance, to innovate to create new jobs (development of new technologies, new products, new processes, etc.), and
  • to reduce potential risks to take into account societal requirements at the origin of recent regulations such as REACH.

To reconcile these objectives, risks must be controlled using sound engineering approaches that can provide justification to decision-makers and other stakeholders.

Risk management tools are useful in multiple industrial sectors: transportation (aircrafts, trains, cars, etc.), health (medicines, medical devices, etc.), foods (agriculture, transformation, etc.), chemistry, energy production, manufacturing, construction and environment (natural and technological risks).
