Engineering degree – Mechanics, Structures, Materials (MSM)

The EMME programme is a 3-year long Engineering Degree.

The skills of an EMME Engineer

• Design and develop complex systems (predominantly fluid mechanics, solid mechanics, and energy systems), taking into account technico-economic and environmental constraints
• Compute, dimension, and develop manufactured products
• Determine the most appropriate materials and manufacturing processes, considering requested mechanical characteristics and behaviours, to manufacture the designed products
• Carry out modelling techniques and use industrial tools for modelling and numerical simulation
• Produce technical papers (simulations, technical drawings, etc.) and carry out project specifications
• Design projects, with technical and economic mastery of every phase
• Manage and motivate one or more teams and collaborate with various departments

Specific skills

• Optimal design of a structure, taking economic aspects into consideration
• Analyse and model a structure’s static and dynamic mechanical response
• Anticipate and prevent operating performance problems in mechanical structures (fatigue, fracture and, corrosion)
•  Study materials at a microscopic scale and their application to cutting-edge technologies (magnetism, electronics, etc.)

Students in the MSM programme may follow

• The Biomechanics-Biomaterials (B2M) course in partnership with the Faculty of Medicine
• The Structural Design in Civil Engineering (CSGC) curriculum in partnership with the University of Luxembourg and/or the University of Lorraine’s Master in Civil Engineering

Internships

• Discovery of the Engineering Profession lasting a minimum of 6 weeks at the end of the 3^rd year
• Assistant Engineer, minimum 8-week internship at the end of the 4^th year
• Engineer, 6-month internship during the programme’s final semester

Work-study

Possibility to carry out the final year in a work-study programme under a professional contract with a company.

Double-Degrees

EMME major students can enrol in a double-degree between Polytech Nancy and the Faculty of Science and Technology of Nancy:

• Master in Mechanics, Energy, Processes, Products
• Master in Engineering and Material Science (Major: Mechanics, Materials, Structures, Processes)

International

• A mobility period abroad is mandatory (for French students only): visit our International web page
• Possibility of a double-degree at UQAC (Canada), l’École de Technologie Supérieure (ETS) in Montréal (Canada), Georgia Tech (USA and Campus Lorraine), ENI Monastir (Tunisia)
