Fatma Fourati-Jamoussi is an associate professor at UniLaSalle, with a Ph.D. in Management Sciences at the University Paris Dauphine-PSL, and is a member of InTerACT Research Unit UP 2018.C102 (Innovation Territoire Agriculture et Agroindustrie, Connaissance et Technologie). She mainly teaches Competitive and Business Intelligence. Her research interests concern the use of business intelligence tools, the integration and the perception of sustainable development and innovation in Higher Engineering Education, and the impact of digitalization in the agricultural world.
This article is the continuation of the work that has already been completed in a first study on the perception of engineering students at UniLaSalle Beauvais about education for sustainable development (SD) and innovation. Its purpose is to show the evolution over time of the perception of engineering students regarding SD and innovation after integrating the international program called “Go-LaSalle”. In this training process, students spend the first semester of their third academic year in partner universities of the worldwide Lasallian network. To identify and measure the change of students’ perception, we have designed a survey that was sent to two engineers’ training classes (specialties) Agronomy and Agro-Industries and Food and Health. The results show that although some differences and similarities appear between the two specialties, there are few significant changes on student’s perception before and after the six-month international program (called “Go-LaSalle”). Finally, the study shows, on the one hand, that the students trust the institution, the companies and their teachers more than their own inclinations; on the other hand, it allows the institution to adapt their training to both collective needs and the demands of the environment.

The purpose of this article is to discuss and evaluate the use of competitive and technological intelligence (CTI) tools by students to help designers of these tools get the best efficiency out of a monitoring process. This article introduces an application of the cluster analysis method and the competitive and technological intelligence literature. In order to evaluate the use of CTI tools, we deal with two evaluation models: Task-Technology Fit (TTF) and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). A survey was sent to users of CTI tools addressed to engineering students and the most pertinent replies were examined. The responses were analyzed by using the statistical software SPAD. Results showed a typology from the various profiles of users of this technology by using the method of classification. We note different perceptions between student users. Although this study remains focused on the individual perspective, it requires more examination about the organizational impact of the use of CTI tools. The identification of the different user profiles was done by using a cluster analysis. For the designers of CTI tools these results highlight the importance of user perception, suggesting designers take into account the perception of all user types. As these tools develop, more and more companies will be looking for skills of future engineers for monitoring and management of strategic information. That’s why practical courses in CTI are taught to the students in order to take into account the companies’ needs.

The potential relationships between innovation and sustainability processes, in engineering education, is neither obvious nor simple, especially when innovation, generally speaking, is promoted regardless of sustainability. We used UniLaSalle (In January 2016, the ‘Institut Polytechnique LaSalle Beauvais’, a French engineering school, merged with another higher education engineering school (ESITPA, Rouen). Both campuses (Beauvais and Rouen) have a common name: UniLaSalle (www.unilasalle.fr). As the interview began during 2015, this article only describes the situation of the Beauvais campus.) as a ‘living Lab’ to identify and analyse the reasons for the integration of innovation and Sustainable Development (SD) in training programmes. The aim is to explore, in a perception and reflective approach, how SD can be understood as a driver for specific innovation attitudes in higher education engineering school. This paper adopts an empirical approach based on a qualitative study, using NVivo 9 software to analyse non-numerical data. Our research suggests that SD can be a structural driver for innovation if it is integrated in a transdisciplinarity approach and not just as a discipline per se.
