The engineering cycle of EBI’s “Grande École” program focuses on projects and offers engineering students the opportunity to specialize in a well-defined profession. These last two years prepare them for their engineering diploma and their future professional integration.
The first half of the year is devoted more specifically to the following projects: 5 major projects (1)
are conducted in teams and supervised by teachers and working engineers.
They allow students to work as in a company on a concept
or specifications and to be all incubated within the departmental entrepreneurship cluster.
(1) Marketing and Business Development, Quality and Industrial Risks, Formulation and Design, Safety and Registration, Databases and Experimental Design

Eco-responsible road salt as an alternative to road salt, it is produced from agri-food waste and plant resources - Agathe Champy, 2024 graduate
Throughout their course, students are made aware of entrepreneurship and business creation. The concepts covered are then deepened and put into practice during the engineering cycle: EBI student-engineers are led to create, innovate and imagine products or services. This work is integrated into the pedagogical program and is done with the support of EBI, thanks to the EBInnov laboratory and the school's social fund. The projects are presented to the MEDEF in front of 30 professionals every year.
Starting in the 2nd semester of the 4th year of the Grande École engineering program, student-engineers choose one of the 5 majors according to their career plans. A special feature of the EBI is that there is no quota for each major. The student thus retains a great deal of freedom in his or her choice of course. Students also choose 4-10 minors to customize their resumes. While the major courses are mandatory, the minor courses are elective.
This set of choices best prepares each engineering student for his or her future career, by helping him or her to build his or her own educational path and thus the professional future that interests him or her.
It trains engineers who will work in the biomedical sector, on vaccines, biotechnologies, enzymatic kits, cellular models. These are team management positions in the laboratory. Further study in a doctorate is possible.

One of the major assets of the EBI is the diversity of the group projects. Indeed, in different subjects, we are led to apply the theoretical elements of the courses. These experiences teach us a lot about team management and project management. These projects are professionalizing and are valuable during job interviews.
