Summary

The elective proposes to allow the student to become aware of his future professional environment and to position himself with regard to the major societal challenges and the evolution of the engineering profession. These intersecting views of the contemporary world will provide it with a relevant reading grid that will contribute to the construction of behavioural fundamentals for today and tomorrow. Thus, the student will be led to question the emerging transformations in society and more particularly in the world of work. He will question its foundations and prepare to confront it. A double entry will be privileged: media on the one hand (press, radio, TV, cinema, theatre), intellectual and disciplinary on the other hand (books, articles, conferences, study days...). The elective will give a specific focus to the experience of international students and will be a good introduction to intercultural management.
