The MSM minor starts after the first 3 semesters in the EMME degree.
Objectives
The MSM pathway offers future engineers an in-depth study of the mechanics of solids and materials. They will acquire knowledge and skills in the design, modeling, dimensioning and manufacture of mechanical parts or systems, by determining the appropriate geometry, constituent material and manufacturing process. Aspects of materials science and multiphysics coupling are also covered. Experimental and numerical modeling tools and methods are studied, along with the use of industrial equipment and software.
Specific skills
- Optimal structural design, taking into account economic aspects
- Analyze and model the static and dynamic mechanical behavior of a structure
- Select the manufacturing process best suited to the mechanical part or system to be produced, and establish the associated protocol
- Anticipate and prevent serviceability problems in mechanical structures (fatigue, fracture, corrosion)
- Study materials on a microscopic scale and their application to cutting-edge techniques (magnetism, electronics, etc.)
Students in the MSM minor have the opportunity to follow :
- The Biomechanics-Biomaterials (B2M) program, in partnership with the Faculty of Medicine
- The Calcul des Structures en Génie Civil (CSGC) course, in partnership with the University of Luxembourg and/or the Master Génie Civil at the University of Lorraine
