Image & Photonics, Smart-Industry Apprenticeship Engineer

For nearly 20 years, our training has been meeting the needs of companies in the photonics and image sectors, while accompanying the technological changes around industry 4.0.

Clearly identified with the professional world, it is now a national reference in these constantly evolving fields. The industry of the future focuses on the digital transition, on-line control, or the complementarity of different sensors and/or other automated systems. For example, machine vision cameras are becoming stand-alone systems with high quality image sensors combined with powerful processors offering new opportunities correlated to visual inspection. High-speed data processing systems and technological advances in photonics are multiplying the uses and applications (production line optimisation, surface treatment, preventive maintenance, predictive monitoring, cobotics, etc.). IPSI training meets the needs of these complex, high value-added fields requiring pragmatic engineers trained in R&D and technological innovation.

Study project

A study project runs over the three years, which enables each apprentice to gain expertise in the specialities of the diploma without necessarily carrying out fully correlated assignments in a company, and also provides them with both research and technological skills and cross-disciplinary skills (project management, innovation, meeting management, etc.). Among the latter, the research aspect is favoured with a focus on technology watch, reading and summarising scientific articles, etc. As for the innovation aspect, the opening up to targeted calls for projects (technological challenges, etc.) while putting the use of their prototype into perspective. In addition, the groups must conduct their project in accordance with the remarks/comments made by their tutors. Time is devoted to these projects on each day of the college meeting.
