Competencies levels

At the end of the training, graduates will be able to:

Assess the various environmental impacts (climate, resources, biodiversity) of products and services in the aviation sector in order to identify eco-design levers through life cycle analysis.

Design technical and organizational solutions to improve the sustainability of a product or service while ensuring air transport safety and reliability requirements.

Analyze complex situations and devise forward-looking scenarios based on a systemic approach to contribute to sustainable aviation.

Support the implementation of innovative solutions and influence organizations to ensure their viability, taking into account aeronautical certification requirements and environmental regulations.
