Established in 1992, the École des Métiers de l'Environnement, known in English as the School of Environmental Management and Engineering (EME), specializes in environmental engineering and sustainable development. EME is a non-profit association that trains students in environmental science, engineering, and management. It prepares engineering students for a Masters's degree in Ingénieurs en Génie Industriel de l'Environnement, which is recognized by the French government and by the CTI. It also offers a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Management. EME is recognized as a member of the Conférence des Grandes Ecoles.
EME has a research department named CYCLANN that works in conjunction with local and regional industries and research laboratories on environmental projects worldwide. Researchers at EME also teach courses allowing students access to the latest research.
Situated on the Campus of Ker Lann (www.campuskerlann.com), EME is at the center of a rich science and technology campus and is only a few minutes from the city of Rennes. EME heavily integrates sustainable development into all its activities. Professors, staff, and students are invested in the school's Agenda 21 policy, which sets the example of sustainable development and social responsibility.
Many events are organized at EME each year to spread awareness of sustainable development to the public, enterprises, etc. EME research projects, conferences, workshops, and technical sessions are regularly presented in the school. Students at EME are always engaged in solving environmental issues through student associations such as Afrik'Action, Eco-Challenge, or InterSolidaires. EME students strive to meet the goals of Agenda 21. They are in charge of meaningful projects like the Rio+20 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development project completed in June 2012, and COP TROTTERS in 2016.
EME students can help develop a greener and more socially responsible economy by completing an internship with one of EME's partner companies. Students also can do one or two academic semesters abroad with one of our 59 partner schools throughout Europe. Students can clearly understand environmental issues at the international level, and better develop their language skills through programs abroad.
The BDE is the leading student association at EME. The BDE organizes the majority of the social gatherings on campus every year. Its mission is to help all EME students have a great time and take a break from the pressures of college life. Whether it is orientation weekend (WEI), BBQs, the Gala, or costume parties, the BDE is working to keep students entertained!
The BDE guarantees an unforgettable orientation weekend called the WEI. This is an opportunity to get new students acquainted with all the other EME students in a festive and friendly atmosphere. The WEI always takes place somewhere in Brittany's region so that new students can discover a part of their new region!
Gala is another major event of the year. It is a party held right after the graduation ceremony. This is an opportunity to dress to impress.
Another role of the BDE is to drive other school associations: BDA, BDJ, BDS, K'fet, Eco challenge, Intersolidaire, Afrik'Action, and ADEK. Throughout the year, the BDE organizes games and events to help EME students get to know each other and students of other engineering schools in Rennes. The BDE is part of BREI (Regional Office of Engineering Schools), another opportunity to meet more new students.
Humanit'EME is a humanitarian association. We have developed three essential goals: education, exploration of African culture, and fundraising for Togo education. We operate in a partnership with a Togolese association, The Youth Movement for Sustainable Development.
To promote awareness of our cause and African culture, we organize outings to restaurants and have themed meals. Also, African music concerts and a day of conferences on Africa are organized each year.
We frequently meet with students of a primary school in Bruz to share Africa's culture through stories and activities. We hope the students will one day use this knowledge to help our cause.
If you want to explore your artistic side, share your talent, and participate in fun activities, the Bureau des Arts are for you!
The BDA sets up cinema and theatre outings, dance and music lessons, short film contests, decorating the school for events, and creating displays about international opportunities. So do not hesitate. The BDA has something for everyone!
The BDS role is to facilitate access to sporting activities, organize events, and get you up and to move! For example, this year you can go for a weeklong ski trip with us!
But what if you are not an athlete and still want to be active? Let us say you have a particular fondness for water; you can join our FFSU (French Organized Sports Association) licensed swimming club. We have groups in individual sports such as judo, karate, and taekwondo. We also have team sports such as handball, football, basketball, hockey, volleyball, bowling, rowing, tennis, golf, and rugby (men and women), which are all available for you to join!
There are activities for athletes and non-athletes, but we are all here to have a good time at heart. You will have the opportunity to meet us during the WEI orientation week, the Ker Lann Olympics, and the "green" marathon.
