MEEF - Engineering Sciences for Middle and High Schools and Industrial Technology for Vocational High Schools

This program aims to prepare students for careers in secondary education through two main objectives.
The first focuses on specialization in technology taught in middle school, engineering sciences taught in general and technical high schools, as well as Industrial Sciences and Techniques and Sustainable Development (STI 2D). The curriculum covers disciplinary fields such as mechanics, electronics, civil engineering, automation, and digital computing—viewed as resources for analyzing multi-technological systems. The fields of educational sciences are also explored in depth: the educational system, teaching methods, pedagogy, curricula, and standards… This part of the program aims to prepare students for the four tracks of the “CAPET in Industrial Engineering Sciences” certification, which qualifies individuals to teach these specialties in middle schools, high schools, and even certain BTS programs. It is also intended for current or contract teachers seeking training to qualify for teaching positions in middle and/or high schools.
The second objective, pertaining to vocational high schools, specializes future “workshop teachers” in preparing vocational students in the fields of Industrial Sciences and Technology (STI) (mechanical, electrical, civil engineering, etc.). In addition to the traditional coursework in Industrial Science and Technology—which is essential for this field of instruction—this master’s program includes significant coursework in educational science and pedagogy, focusing on official curriculum standards and lesson planning exercises. Naturally, aspects related to oral and written communication, which are necessary for the teaching profession, will also be covered.
In both cases, preparation for competitive exams remains, of course, a key objective, with the longer-term goal of training professional and reflective teachers who deliver high-quality instruction. An introduction to research—viewed as learning through research—is also part of this master’s program.
