MT2E: Training

The BUT MT2E

A three-year integrated program

With the BUT Bachelor of Technology), students follow a three-year integrated program, without additional selection, to earn a bachelor’s degree. Aligned with international standards, this degree facilitates exchange programs with foreign universities.

A skills-based approach to education

In the MT2E department, the focus is on developing skills, rather than merely accumulating knowledge. This approach emphasizes students’ technical skills, interpersonal skills, and cross-disciplinary knowledge, providing them with practical preparation for their future careers.

The method is based on three complementary dimensions:
  • Skills: the technical skills you need to master;
  • Soft skills: the attitudes and behaviors to adopt;
  • Knowledge: the essential theoretical foundations.

Real-life situations for a different kind of learning

Competency-based learning takes shape through Learning and Assessment Situations (LAS). Each LAS consists of one or more tasks to be completed, with a specific objective: to enable students to apply and develop their skills in a real-world context.
A vocational training program integrates objectives, methodology, and assessment in a coherent manner. It is this comprehensive approach that enhances the effectiveness of the training and prepares students for the professional world.

In 11th grade, choose from three tracks to help you refine your career plans

Within the MT2E (Energy Transition and Efficiency Professions) program, IUT1 in Grenoble offers three tracks in the third year, allowing each student to develop a profile tailored to their aspirations and the needs of the job market.
