Engineering program

The possibility of designing an integrated curriculum over 5 years allows PURPAN students to progressively learn the various dimensions that make up the complexity of the professional world.

Engineers have to solve many different problems: technical, human, economic, social, commercial and legal. Learning to manage this complexity means gradually learning to integrate it into accompanied personal or group work based on concrete cases from the professional world.
Intended for the discovery and development of the sense of observation, the internships progressively lead the future engineer to exercise his analytical mind and his ability to synthesise, in order to propose solutions in line with the professional situations he will encounter.

PURPAN’s strength lies in its use of a wide range of teaching methods, including the most innovative.
If lectures are present because they impose a rigorous listening and develop the intellectual capacities of integration of information, the teachings are proposed in many traditional formats as the directed work, the practical work, the visits… but also by many situations in individual or group projects.

ACQUIRE THE SKILLS OF THE AGRICULTURAL ENGINEER

The first three years of the course will expose you to scientific disciplines and technical teachings. These will enable you to acquire the ability to establish a diagnosis and to master the techniques and analysis of complex situations.

The numerous contacts with the professional world will give you the intelligence of concrete situations.

The last two years will broaden your understanding of the issues in the agricultural and agri-food sectors. You will acquire project management and business leadership skills. This will be the time for long term experience abroad (semester abroad) and in companies (6 month internship).

Human training and support

humaN FORMATION

Human formation is the most important aspect of the school’s teaching, in terms of the number of hours over the five years. Stemming from Ignatian roots, it is the foundation of our pedagogical and human project. It is expressed in 5 essential points:

• To welcome you whatever your history.
• Favouring situational experiences: internships, international experiences, company projects, team projects, dissertations, etc.
• Organise the review of your experiences to identify possible improvements.
• Encourage the motivation and autonomy necessary for professional integration.
• Reveal your full potential through in-depth work on the softskills that will make the difference.

Individual and group projects will mark out your course, and teachers and professionals will be your partners.
Group work will be fundamental in the development of a taste for communication, in the discovery of complementarity, autonomy, responsibility, management or the duty of ethics.

Support and review

Each internship or educational operation is prepared and tutored by a teacher-researcher. The review, either individually or in groups, leads the student to assess his or her experiences. The teacher-researchers are there to listen, answer questions and provide guidance.
