The Engineer Training programme at ENSCR The training programme offered on the engineering degree course is characterised by the following key points:
� The common syllabus takes up terms 5, 6 and 7 and includes expanding the basic knowledge of chemistry and industrial training in the fields of process engineering, methodological tools, production processes, computing, health and safety and quality assurance. Teaching in human sciences and modern languages is offered throughout the three years.
� From term 8 onwards, students choose one of the two major specialisms offered by
the school, which strengthen the link between training and research:
� CHEMISTRY & TECHNOLOGIES FOR THE LIVING WORLD � ENVIRONMENT, PROCESSES AND ANALYSIS
The majors constitute two new forms of cross-disciplinary training, which enable students to construct, in liaison with a tutor, their own personalised course corresponding to professional standards of reference and suited to their professional plans. Chemistry & Technologies for the living world Major (CTV) trains engineers capable, in a spirit of sustainable development, of designing, producing, formulating and analysing innovative chemicals and materials in the service of the living world. The Environment, Processes and Analysis (EPA) major trains engineers capable of designing and developing (i) procedures to improve the management of manufacturing processes and to minimise the consumption of raw materials and the production of waste, by developing special treatments; (ii) processes to reduce pollution; (iii) analytical methods for rigorously monitoring processes and what happens to chemicals in the environment. Training in the issues of Environmental law is also offered in the major. In semester 8, student engineers follow the compulsory parts of the common core of the major and then they can opt for one of the two optional modules offered in the major: (i) "Advanced organic chemistry" or "Chemistry of solids & materials" in the CTV major and (ii) "Process and environmental engineering" or "Analysis & the environment" in the EPA major. In semester 9, study concentrates on the majors. After the common core of the major, the student-engineer chooses 126 Hours of tuition corresponding to one of the specialities offered in the major (each speciality corresponds to two 63-hour modules), or one of the specialties of the Research Master, or the Master in Business administration or the Business management option, plus a further module (63 Hours of tuition) taken from another intra- or inter-major speciality. This last module from either the same major or the other major is another opportunity for students to focus their training course more specifically on the profile that they want to acquire.
Chemistry & Technologies for the living world:
� "Biotechnologies & pharmacology" track

� "Analysis & Formulation" track � "Chemistry & clean processes" track � A Research Master’s degree specialising in chemistry with two special subjects at
the ENSCR: Molecular chemistry and Chemistry of solids and materials � Training in Business Management in partnership with the Rennes institute of

• Microfluidics for the design of novel colloidal materials.
Detailed programme
The recent advances of soft lithography techniques offer possibilities for designing mechanical devices that allow handling precisely very small amounts of liquid; typically of the order of a few tens of picolitres. This scaling down in size of fluidic devices coupled with analytic techniques pave the way to numerous applications in a variety of domains that include biology, analytical chemistry, physics, and pharmacy. A lively topic these days is the quest for the lab on a chip: the massive integration of basic operations on fluids in devices as small as a few square inches. This aspect of microfluidics is important for biology but also for chemistry, for instance, to increase the yield of chemical reactions. We will discuss the general principles behind these developments in high-throughput microfluidics. We will then illustrate theses advances using various examples in chemical process, material formulation, and biology.

All work placements require a written report and a viva (10 to 15 minutes depending on the year of study) before a panel composed of two teachers (course tutor and a viva supervisor appointed from the school’s research fellows) and the placement supervisor if he is able to and wishes to make the journey. The student is responsible for organising his own viva. The final assessment takes several factors into consideration: the report, the viva, the placement supervisor’s assessment and information from the placement database).
