The Eco-design and Sustainable Innovation major trains students to develop solutions adapted to low-budget environments. They will learn to master methods for managing complex projects, optimizing available resources, and designing products that meet user needs in infrastructure-limited contexts.
Training in this major ensures students have the skills to master emerging low-cost technologies, such as IoT and renewable energies. They will also learn how to create viable business models for pioneering start-ups or projects in emerging markets. Teaching includes an interdisciplinary approach, integrating technical, economic and soft skills.
