Summary
This Master's program is meant to train professional experts in Sustainable Industrial Engineering, able to deploy skills in a global industrial environment and face the future challenges of the transitions (ecological, digital, societal).
Industry is of critical importance for the modern societies. Industrial engineering, as a branch of engineering, focuses on designing efficient production systems. It is affected by the deep transformations and instabilities the human societies are facing today.
Through this program we aim to provide students with tools to contribute to a more sustainable industry with a strong emphasis on handling of complexity of human centric organizations.
Sustainable Industrial Engineering addresses the issue of industrial sustainability using different points of view. The overarching presence of data requires new skills to handle them. Complexity of socio-technical environment is also a big challenge that requires to understand the multi-dimensional character of the industrial organizations in order to solve the problems raised by the industrial transformation.
Sustainable Industrial Engineering has myriads of application fields since it encompasses the whole value chain and lifecycle of products: from the development of new and innovative products and services, to the end of life of the systems.
The SIE Master also welcomes students from all over the world and includes some excellence programs that propose scholarships for high potential students willing to engage in a research-oriented path leading to a PhD.

Master Thesis
In the second semester of the 2nd year of the Master SIE, each student will be expected to complete an internship either in an industrial firm, in France or abroad. This internship will be an opportunity to consolidate and discover working methods and to learn how to manage real projects. A written dissertation will be required at the end of the training period and it will have to be defended before an examinations board.
Objectives
Becoming:
- Project engineer
- Development or research engineer
- Business or consulting specialized in environmental issues
- Production and supply chain manager
- Consultant in Sustainable industrial engineering
School environment
Most courses will be provided at Génie industriel, the Industrial Engineering school of the Grenoble INP group. The school is centrally located in downtown Grenoble. It benefits of a very international environment among the student and of a very modern and high level set of technological platforms.
Student life in Grenoble is very rich and dynamic. Students have the opportunity to engage in external activities such as sports (leading region for mountain sports), arts, non-profit organizations, international relations, or other activities.

Prospects
Expected learning outcomes
MSc SIE helps tomorrow’s industrial engineers to work collaboratively in a globalized international context, with societal constraints as well as environmental and economical impacts.
The SIE Master programme leans on the knowledge triangle Education-Research-Innovation.
It is designed to cover the whole value chain and lifecycle of product and service, from Innovation draft, through to Distribution, in an international context. (See figure 1)It aims at tackling the key issues that are sustainable manufacturing industry, innovation, and sustainability.
Figure 1. SIE Master overall scope
Additional skills and competences are also addressed e.g. in marketing and management as it is key knowledge for the today and tomorrow industrial engineers.
Careers
SIE targets 2 main profiles:
- Industrial engineers with sustainable impact: the students will be able to find jobs in Industrial/ Mechanical/ Production/ Automation/ Aerospace/ Energy/ or Management Engineering
