Risk is omnipresent in the engineering profession, and the ability to analyze and control risk is an essential skill for engineers. The objectives of this Teaching Unit are to provide future engineers with the knowledge necessary to identify the potential risks - natural or technological - to which they are exposed, and to train them in the tools necessary for their management, in an economic, legal and societal. In this training, environmental risks - the impact of the environment on human activity, and the impact of human activity on the environment are targeted in particular. Any consideration of financial risks and financial engineering is therefore excluded from training, except for the role played by insurance companies in risk management. All the modules of the profession are part of the Master Risks and Environment (RisE) common to the École Centrale de Lyon, the Faculty of Economics and Management of the University of Lyon 2 and the Institute of Environmental Law of Université Lyon 3. Teaching will be provided by teacher-researchers from the three institutions, and the various modules will also be followed by students from the other two establishments, registered in the Master RisE.
The course will provide students with the knowledge and skills needed to work in many industrial sectors (process engineering, civil engineering, transport ...) as well as in urban and planning and environmental management.
