Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science Department (GMM)

GMM aims to prepare students for their first job as an engineer with responsibilities for the design of industrial products or equipment. This first position should open career prospects naturally towards responsibilities as head of large projects in industry.

 

 

 

   

The active participation in the teaching teams of engineers working in industry assures good links with the professional world and allows students to receive effective information about careers in industrial design.

The design of new products requires first and foremost a good grasp of the principles of mechanics, principally in the following fields:

  • mechanics of fluids and transfers, thermics,
  • dynamics, vibrations, acoustics,
  • materials, materials forming.

The whole programme is thus structured around the execution of concrete projects, with a view to developing a real competence in design through an emphasis on the experimental aspect of projects. The projects require considerable use of the major computational codes and professional computer tools used in industry. Concerns for quality, for the recognition of environmental problems, for standards and norms, for industrial property, are a common theme of all courses.
