Introduction to Economics and to Business Management (BAC2)

Business Management ( M1)

Explain that :

- environment is changing continuously because of  technical and économic progresses;

- that is why the company is under obligation to  adapt its production, its processes and its organization to meet all requirements from clients:  for example , quality requirements.

- business is trending to "global quality";

-new functions and new jobs emerge: Project Manager and Quality Manager (quality controller).

*who is concerned : "shareholders" and "stakeholders"

*change and new requirements from clients

*quality: cost ; cost  of "bad quality"

Economics (micro and macro) (BAC3)

Business management (M1)

- face real business management situations .

-- go further in Business management

-decompartmentalize different economic and management courses

- understand the many-sided aspects of management.

- analyze the study of “ long-term decisions” (investment and its financing) in-depth

Capital investment decision

*opportunity cost of investment

*optimal financing (LT&MTcredits;leasing)

*leverage

*compounding and discounting (distinction);cost of capital

*the concept of the net present value (NPV) and of the internal rate of return (IRR)

Introduction to Management (BAC2)

Business Management (M1)

Explain  place and  importance of Human Factor  in economy and in business

Grasp aspects of Human Resource Management (HRM)

Give our future engineers "tool" to become a "good "( efficient and human) teamleader

- Social-économic-political environment: continuous change:the company is under obligation to  adapt

- Paradox of Productivity:obligation and possible consequences  (for Welfare, for Return (ROE) and forr employment situation)

-Schools of thought in HRM (Why? and how? to motivate people)

-To-day Payment and fiscal consequences

-How to apply successfully for a job ? C.V. : in theory  and in practice .

          During his placement, the student will be entrusted with a mission consistent regarding activities related to the guidelines proposed by the High School.  Through it, he must prove his ability to develop the skills required by his university level training and his future career in engineering.  The placement will lead to a dissertation, "Travail de Fin d'Etudes", the culmination of five years of study at university level.

All the topics developed during the whole formation

A engineering problem has to be solved, a report has to be written and a talk has to be given.

Starting with the specifications of an engineering problem, the student must investigate one or several solutions.  It may be lead to carry out a prototype, if necessary.

If the project is given by the industry or a research institute, it will be submitted to a jury of teachers for approbation.

The personal part of the work should be apparent and clearly distinguished of other parties’ contribution.

The evaluation will be based on

• the amount and quality of the work done,
• the quality of the written report
• the quality of the viva voce.

Various specific matters of the training of engineer, courses of 1st year of the 2nd cycle (industrial chemistry, organic chemistry, general and chemical thermodynamics, chemical engineering…)

The optics followed in the course of 1st year of the second cycle remains the same one in 2nd. Here, the matters concern mainly the organic chemistry. The course is also interested in the particular problems posed by manufacture of catalysts. It ends in a synthesis of the problems created in the environment by the human activities and industrial and of the solutions which can be brought there.

Organic chemical industries (substances with interfacial activity, industries of cellulose, organic dyes, sugar refinery, varnished and paintings); Manufacture of catalysts; Chemical industry in its environment (various risks, directing SEVESO, studies of incidence, waste solid, gas and liquid effluents, automobile pollution…)

Livres, revues, publications techniques de so­ciétés chimiques et fédérations professionnelles,... en nombre tel qu'il est impossible de les détailler ici

elementary knowledge of the industrial processes in chemistry, biochemistry and biotechnology due, inter alia, at the time of the training course of immersion of 3rd bachelor.

Every future engineer needs to understand the reason for the existence of standards, their role in industry, the way they are applied or used, the advantages (or disadvantages) they can bring.  there will be a special focus on quality, environment and security-related standards.

Among other topics we will discuss :

• ISO standards in Quality and Environment
• distinction betweenQA / GMP / GLP
• documentary system in quality management
• quality qualité
• HACCP
• Quality Assurance procedures
• how to organize and run a Quality Assurance department ?
• biosafety
• roles et tasks of safety manager
• safety audits

After an introductive lecture, the students will perform a personal research on a topic of their choice and prepare a PowerPoint presentation as well as a short abstract and will present their contribution to their classmates.

The presentations will be evaluated by the students themselves (as well as the teacher).

Knowledge of the subjects will be verified through a written exam.
