Study at Icam
Training at the Icam

Icam opens its doors to a wide variety of profiles: young people wishing to become engineers, employees in evolution, but also students moving towards technical diplomas (CAP/BEP, Bac Pro). Production schools, in particular, welcome young people who have dropped out of school, to support them and train them in trades where labour needs are high. All these audiences evolve together on Icam campuses!

Student life at Icam
Icam has 6 campus in France

Icam offers you 6 possibilities to study in France, in the North, West, South-West and Paris region. Each Icam site has a residence, where it is possible to live and experience “living together” as Icam sees it: community life, conviviality, mutual aid, coworking areas… The digital campus also provides access to all the resources essential for courses and group work, everywhere and all the time.

Partner universities
Engineers for “the world”

Icam has 5 international campuses in countries with high development potential. They train young people “in their country and for their country”. Exchanges are organized between Icam sites for semesters of study, which are also possible with other partner universities. Many double degree agreements exist, to be trained both at Icam and in the world. With, always, a strong commitment: openness to others and their culture.

Company
Strong links with companies

Icam is historically very close to the companies, which regularly intervene in the life of the school: juries, courses, visits, conferences, meetings, offers of internships, apprenticeships and employment contracts… Some companies also collaborate with the Icam to implement professional training in relation to their recruitment needs. Icam also welcomes employees who wish to advance in their careers by becoming engineers.

Research
Applied research

Many doctoral students and lecturer-researchers conduct their research on Icam campuses. Each year, they produce scientific publications and collaborate with prestigious research laboratories in France and around the world. Very close to the problems of companies, their research aims to design innovative solutions in the fields of energy, the societal and technological transition of companies, as well as innovative structures and materials.

Multi-energy platform

Characteristics:

"The multi-energy platform is mainly used as an experimental test bench to validate energy management algorithms and as a collaborative research support, with on‑grid, off‑grid and reconfigurable operating modes. Platform composition: - Photovoltaic (PV) panels coupled with a controllable artificial light source (emulation of sunlight profiles) - Three‑phase grid‑connected PV installation emulator (1.5 kW) - Three‑phase wind turbine emulator with doubly‑fed induction generator (750 W) - Energy storage system emulator - Domestic and industrial consumption points (simulated loads) - SYNDEM open programmable converters (TI C2000 board, configurable topologies: Boost, Buck, Buck‑Boost, SEPIC, single‑/three‑phase inverter, rectifier, etc.) - Electric vehicle emulator ( DC motor, 4‑quadrant chopper, dynamometer) - IoT sensor network including a weather station (temperature, wind, irradiance) and electrical sensors - Siemens industrial PLC for centralised control and command - Matlab/Simulink software environment for algorithm development and implementation Operating modes - On‑grid mode: the platform is connected to the laboratory electrical grid; it can inject or import energy according to setpoints, to test self‑consumption strategies with grid exchange. - Off‑grid mode: the platform operates autonomously, disconnected from the grid; powered only by the PV/wind emulators and the battery, it allows validation of algorithms for isolated sites or resilient microgrids. - Dynamic reconfiguration: thanks to a relay matrix, the system topology can be modified without hardware rewiring (e.g. switching from a Boost chopper to an inverter), enabling the platform to adapt to different hybrid architectures.
