Master Of Science (MoS) speciality Knowledge integration in mechanical production - Design and Manufacturing (KIMP - DM)
This track focuses on the integration of product data in the design of its manufacturing process. This program is completely taught in English and is open to international students.
Campus
Arts et Métiers campus of Paris
An international program
Several double degrees have been signed with partner universities:
- Royal Institute of Technology (KTH-Stockholm- Sweden)
- University of Teheran (Iran)
- ENSAM Meknès and ENSAM Casablanca
- École Nationale d'Ingénieurs de Bizerte (ENIB)
Arts et Métiers students interested in getting a double degree should spend the first year of their master’s at one of the partner universities and complete it with one KIMP-DM year.
In addition, this Master of Science is open for 6 months or one year through ERASMUS exchange programs.
Program description
This program is composed by one semester of courses taught in English and held in the campus of Paris and one semester dedicated to carry out the Master Thesis. This master thesis is a full-time project conducted in a laboratory or company, either in France or abroad.
The first semester is split into two quarters, one quarter of core courses (shared with all KIMP tracks) and one quarter of specialized courses.
Core courses
- Methods, models for the integration of both product and manufacturing process parameters
- Tools for integration - Introduction of AI approaches to support the co-design of products and their manufacturing system (expert system, Constraint Satisfaction Problem, Fuzzy Logic, Artificial Neural Network)
- Manufacturing process management
- Literature Review
- French language and culture (Foreign language for French speakers)
Specialized Courses
- Decision and risk analysis
- Sustainable engineering
- Robust Design and Big Data (data mining and analysis, PCA, Support Vector Machine, R software)
- Geometrical product representation for CAD and CAM
- Digital mock-up and virtual environments
In addition, all students participate to the ATHENS program, one-week exchange session, held by a network of European higher education institutions.
Master thesis projects
Examples of Master Thesis projects from previous academic years:
- Human factors in quality management
- 3D metallic printing of stamping tools
- Monitoring Collection & Assortment in luxury company
- Uncertainties management in a quality characterization technique
- Big data environment: New KPIs in data-driven decision
- Designing of a collaborative robotic cell for the assembly of car engines
- Simulation of manufacturing processes considering the Human Factors - Optimization of time margins allocation
Learning outcomes
Identifying and formalizing the Knowledge based on a scientific approach about design, innovation, production planning and manufacturing systems. The KIMP-DM program prepares students for further PhD studies, research careers or expert positions in industry with international experience gained in a multicultural context.
- Designing product and process: Innovation, conceptual design, eco-design, detail design, geometric modeling, structure analysis, integrated design and manufacturing, cost estimation
- Developing Knowledge engineering and integration: Big data management, Knowledge management, collaborative design, capitalization of the knowledge, digital mock-up and virtual environments
Career projects
Careers in industry: Research and development department (R&D), design department, quality department, production department in manufacturing industries
Positions: Manager in all aforementioned sectors, PhD in Mechanical engineering
Careers in academia: researcher, professor
