Specialty – Formulated Product Engineering (GPF)
The aim of this course is to provide students with the knowledge and research methods needed to develop and implement formulated products (e.g. paints, cosmetics, detergents, adhesives, foods, etc.), and to apply this knowledge to the added valorisation of biomolecules derived from agro-resources. The course is accredited by the Agro-Resources Industry cluster.
Pedagogical context
The aim of this course is to provide students with a solid, multi-disciplinary grounding in:
- structure-property relationships,
- phenomena at interfaces
- complex fluids and solids,
- forming and processing technologies,
- characterization of product properties.
This specialty is taught at two sites (M1S1 at UPJV and M1S2 and M2 at UTC).
The teaching staff is a mix of lecturer research scientists from UTC and UPJV and from ESCOM (HE engineering school in organic and mineral chemistry), plus some professionals as adjunct lecturers from the related industrial 'formulation' sectors.
Professional openings
The professional objectives are to provide future managers with the skills needed to work in the various formulation professions, from:
- upstream professions: laboratory problem-solving for the development of complex mixtures and new compositions based partly or wholly on the use of biomass,
- together with those linked to the development and implementation of these preparations, taking into account production, safety and environmental constraints.
