The professions of the engineer

 

The basic profession of the engineer is made of putting and resolving concrete and often complex, technological natural problems, connected to the conception, the manufacturing and the application of products, as well as elaborating systems or services. This capacity comes out a set of technical knowledge on one hand, economic, social and human knowledge on the other hand, based on a robust scientific culture.

 

The engineer practices first of all in industry, building and civil engineering, or  agriculture, but also in service. It mobilises people, technical and financial means, mostly in an international context.  It incurs an economic and social sanction, and is tightly linked with the concerns of human being protection, life and environmental care, and more generally the collective prosperity.

 

The engineer, holder of a diploma, has acquired a set of knowledge and know-how during a long higher education cycle, including multi-field academic programmes and periods of training in professional environment. These programmes are organised by the recognised educational establishments, which have been entitled by the CTI. More over, in certain cases, the engineer can also have obtained, with an authorised establishment, the validation of professional experiences that substitute themselves partially for academic elements of programme.
