The basis of the project

The origin of the project MEng in 2002 :

‘’mastering natural, industrial and urban risks’’

Partnership with the French Institute of Petrol

(IFP).

Certu was a technical partner in charge of

urban risks.

2a

13

The basis of the project

A few months ago, the ENTPE

asked to create a new project :

The 3rd year of a Risk Diploma.

2a

14

Risk management can be : a special mission within an organisation (dealing with dangerous phenomena such as industrial hazards or natural risks)

For Engineers in charge of territory,

what dealing with risks means ?

15

Risk management can also be :a professional philosophy,

a know-how

Daily risks/ Uncertain context

Vulnerability/ Management

For Engineers in charge of territory,

what does it mean to deal with risks ?

2/2

16

Mastering fundamental technical / transversal aspects

Dealing with systemic views / Combine global approaches (technical data, sociologial and economic points of view, scientific research).

Risk approach as a school of excellence2a

17

’Cindynique’’ as an example, for a scientific approach to risk management.

Possibility to work on technical aspects but also organisational problems.

Risk concepts : major risks / health / dangerous behaviours…The ‘’Cindynique’’

Risk approach as a school of excellence2a

18

The pedagogical project

the challenge : • to offer a global approach, which gives

fundamentals, • to give practical adaptations in various fields.

2b

But also, To allow students having groundings developing risk approaches in many professional situations

and consequently to be able in the future to reinforce their expertise by themselves

19

The pedagogical project

The idea in this training course is :

to give general concepts,

to develop risk policies,

to deal with methods and tools

to work on territorial approaches including the crisis management

and finally to join the various strands together.
