Discover and master the technologies of the future

Year 1: the essential basics

Thanks to the diversity of the courses, engineering students will acquire the knowledge necessary for the design and implementation of mechanical, energy, and industrial systems.

The program covers eight fundamental subjects offering a broad approach to the subject: solid mechanics; materials science; energy transfer; mechanical engineering; production processes and methods; sensors, actuators, and electrical energy conversion; computer systems and mathematical tools for engineers; people, society, and business.

Three other courses complement these, focusing on practical application: preliminary and detailed design; material-process-process interactions; people, society, and business: real-life scenarios.

The teaching approach as a whole aims to gradually increase autonomy. Although all students take the same courses, the number of teaching hours differs depending on theprogram they are enrolled in. This means that all students start their second year at a similar level.

Second year: experimentation

The main engineering topics are highlighted: mechanical engineering, energy engineering, and industrial and production engineering. In order to develop students' skills, the curriculum also includes a professional project, resulting in a practical application, and an introductory research project. Modern language courses complete the second-year program, which focuses on three essential elements of engineering: design, implementation, and organization.

Engineering students will also gain initial experience of industrial realities, as well as the human, technical, and financial challenges associated with the world of work. In the first year, a four-week internship allows students to discover a professional environment and carry out tasks. At the end of the second year, students are offered the option of a three-month internship in a company. They join a team as an assistant engineer and can put their knowledge into practice with an operational assignment.

Engineering and Sustainable Construction Management Program

Starting in their second year, students can also choose to enroll in the "Engineering and Sustainable Construction Management" program to master construction engineering skills. This program, which takes place on the Angers campus, is open to all second-year students and lasts for two years. The "Engineering and Sustainable Construction Management" program is a comprehensive course that combines academic and technical skills. It is based on cross-disciplinary projects that address real-world business issues through practical case studies.

As with the Arts et Métiers Grande Ecole Program, this course includes an end-of-studies internship, international mobility, etc. This training leads to a variety of careers such as project management, construction management, civil engineering, cost estimation, structural engineering, etc. For the third year, this program is available under a professional training contract.
