D’après leur expertise et leurs expériences professionnelles antérieures, les enseignants ressources travaillent en appui sur les projets des étudiants.

Reynald LHERBIER, Ingénieur généraliste Arts et Métiers (anciennement ENSAM : Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers) sur le campus de Cluny (Bourgogne) s'est spécialisé en éco-conception de biens et de services en dernière année à l’institut des Arts et Métiers de Chambéry.

Sa 1^ère et 2^ème année en DUT génie mécanique et productique à Amiens se sont vues complétées par un stage de fin d’études de DUT dans un chantier naval comme préparateur d’atelier.

Son stage de fin d’études ingénieur en 2021 s'est déroulé chez Orange Innovation à Cesson-Sévigné sur le thème des low-tech appliqués aux technologies d’information et de communication (TIC). Ses missions pendant ce stage :

• Participer à un projet de recherche collaboratif de l’association EcoSD en lien avec d’autres universités et entreprises
• Rencontrer de nombreux acteurs du low-tech en France
• Réaliser une étude bibliographique sur les low-tech en général et plus spécifiquement sur le monde du numérique
• Recherche sur l’application des low-tech aux produits numériques (Livebox Low-tech, site web low-tech…)
• Comparaison de la notion avec d’autres approches (écoconception, innovation frugale…)
• Caractérisation du low-tech (développement d’indicateurs)

Margaux LHUISSIER (Bourse CIFRE entreprise CHIMIREC, Co-encadrement : A. KANE, UniLaSalle Rennes - A. AMRANE Université Rennes1- J-L. AUDIC, Université Rennes1, Directrice de thèse : A COUVERT, ENSCR) – projet ECOV (2016-2019)

Ce projet propose la réutilisation d’huiles collectées par une entreprise de collecte et de recyclage d’huiles usagées. L’objectif étant de capter les COV émis sur leur site, tout en prévoyant leur valorisation concomitante.

Le but étant de transformer ce qui était jusqu’ici considéré comme un déchet en une ressource valorisable sur site et à moindre coût. Le projet ECOV s’inscrit dans un contexte de lutte contre la pollution atmosphérique et en particulier dans la limitation des rejets de COV et des molécules odorantes.

En plus des enjeux environnementaux, le projet présente des enjeux économiques liés à une baisse de l’investissement dans le procédé et une diminution du coût de fonctionnement grâce à une régénération de l’absorbant, rejoignant ainsi les grandes préoccupations du développement durable.
