The Henri Fayol Institute, a training and research center at Mines Saint-Étienne, is committed to training engineers and researchers capable of meeting the challenges of digital, ecological, and industrial transitions. Its pedagogy is based on a multidisciplinary approach, integrating skills in mathematical and industrial engineering, computer science and intelligent systems, environmental and organizational engineering, as well as responsible management and innovation.
Innovative pedagogy: serious games
Since its creation, the Fayol Institute has made “serious games” a cornerstone of its pedagogy. This innovative method aims to enrich the learning experience by simulating real and complex situations, thereby fostering student engagement, critical thinking, and decision-making.
Engineering programs
Masters of Science (MSc)
Specialized Master
Advance Master programmes are also offered, enabling in-depth specialization in key areas of engineering and management.
Doctoral supervision
The Henri Fayol Institute supervises doctoral and postdoctoral students on interdisciplinary research projects, fostering innovation.
Continuing and customized training
The Fayol Institute also develops continuing education programmes tailored to corporate needs. For example, an intensive training programme on software development and Industry 4.0 was designed for Fives Group, incorporating modules on object-oriented programming, cyber-physical environments, cybersecurity, and a capstone project using the MAQ’IT platform.
