Advanced materials and processes for energy and nuclear applications

Engineering students study industrial management

General engineer, student curriculum, third-year expertise in advanced materials and processes for energy and nuclear power.

Campus

Arts et Métiers Campus in Arts et Métiers

Objectives

  • Understanding current and future energy issues, particularly nuclear power
  • Acquire skills in selecting and usin d manufacturing materials and processes in the field of nuclear system design, which can be transferred to industrial fields involving value-added parts optimized in terms of advanced manufacturing.
  • Develop a cross-disciplinary approach combining materials, mechanics, and processes in the context of technologies used in energy production, taking into account economic and regulatory aspects.
  • Understand the tools for optimizing the design of structures and high value-added parts used in the nuclear industry, taking into account specific constraints.

The aim is to train engineers who are receptive and responsive to current industrial issues in terms of technical, economic, and ecological innovation, for the complementary choice of a manufacturing process or set of processes.

Teaching methods

From October to February:

  • 150 hours of specialized classes
  • 128 project hours

February to September: internship in partnership with the MSMP laboratory

Doing an internship in Bristol

Second-year engineering students interested in this area of expertise have the opportunity to complete their internship in Bristol, UK.
The allocation of these internship offers is conditional on the choice of expertise for the 2018 academic year.
The assignment schedule is as follows:
- April 9 to May 13, 2018: submission of preferences
- May 31, 2018: assignment decisions
The final choice of internship must therefore be made after the assignment decision.
