Campus

Naval Academy, 29160 Lanvéoc, France

Pedagogy

The objective of this training program is to provide in-depth knowledge and the tools necessary for the development of research and development activities applied to the fields of naval and nautical engineering. 

Training schedule

This training program lasts two years. 

Master of Science :

The first year is offered at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris through the "Factory of the Future - Energy" program.

Master of Science :

In the second year, the program includes one semester of classes.

The first semester of the M2 is organized according to a standard academic program consisting of 8 modules (to be chosen from a total of at least 30 ECTS):

•  "Introduction to Research" 120 hours (in English, compulsory) 12 ECTS
• Applied Naval Hydrodynamics 81 hours (compulsory), 5 ECTS
• "Advanced Physical Hydrodynamics" 46 hours, 5 ECTS
• "Numerical Hydrodynamics" 26 hours, 4 ECTS credits
• Energy Conversion / Marine Renewable Energy, 22 hours, 2 ECTS
• "Sustainable Development and Marine Environment Monitoring" 51 hours, 2.5 ECTS
• "Advanced Signal Processing" 30 hours (4 ECTS)
• English 8 p.m. (compulsory) (1 ECTS)  

The program is based on various practical exercises carried out using IRENav's advanced experimental research and modeling resources.

The introductory research module takes the form of an individual research project. The aim of the module is to tackle a research topic under the guidance of a teacher-researcher, allowing students to immerse themselves in the laboratory and gain practical experience of research work.

The second semester is devoted to an immersion research internship lasting several months (approximately 5) in a company or research unit (school or university). It is possible to complete this semester abroad. 

Objectives 

• Cutting-edge expertise and experience in the fields of naval engineering, boating, and the maritime environment
• Conducting R&D on an industrial problem, identifying a topic, and developing a research project
• Present (orally and in writing), disseminate, and communicate research findings

Key scientific and educational leaders in the field

The training is mainly provided by teachers, teacher-researchers, and staff from the Naval Academy Research Institute (EA 3634 – Naval Academy laboratory under the supervisionArts et Métiers):

• 3 University professors in mechanics, hydrodynamics, and information systems.
• 2 Associate professors with HDR (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches, or accreditation to supervise research) in electrical engineering and signal processing.
• 10 Senior Lecturers in Mechanics, Hydrodynamics, Signal Processing, Acoustics.
• 6 Experts in mechanical engineering and hydrodynamics

Related technology platform

The training program draws on the research and experimentation resources ofthe Naval Academy Research Institute:

• Hydrodynamic platform: cavitation tunnel, Taylor-Couette device
• Nautical platform: instrumented sailboat
• Digital platform: fluid and structural calculation software 

Assessment and validation procedures

Each training module is assessed by means of a written exam or the drafting of a study report.

The introductory research module is assessed through the writing of a scientific article and an oral presentation, as might be required for an international scientific conference.

The research internship is assessed by means of a written thesis (approximately 50 pages) and an oral defense presented before a jury composed of faculty members from the Naval Academy.

A panel of faculty members from the Master of Science program Master of Science a midterm and final evaluation: this includes a review of grades and the approval of course modules and the internship.

Program description

This program consists of one semester of courses taught in English and held on the Lille campus, and one semester dedicated to completing the Master of Science . This Master of Science involves full-time work in a laboratory or at a company, either in France or abroad.

The first semester is divided into two quarters, one quarter of core courses (shared with all KIMP tracks) and one quarter of specialized courses.

• Fall Semester: Courses.
• Spring Semester: Master of Science .

Core courses:

• Methods and models for the integration of both product and manufacturing process parameters
• Tools for integration Example on the generation of Machining process by using AI approaches (expert system, Constraint Satisfaction Problem, Fuzzy Logic, AHP)
• Modeling and control of mechatronic devices
• Manufacturing process management
• Literature Review
• French language and culture (Foreign language for French speakers)

Specialized Courses:

• Modeling and Analysis of Dynamic Mechanical Systems
• Control of Dynamic Systems
• Advanced Mechatronics
• Robotics
• Team Building and Management

We use RoboDK for offline simulation and programming of industrial robots.

Objectives

Design and integrate agile (flexible and rapid) production systems for modern and competitive manufacturing industries.

Learning outcomes

Identifying and formalizing knowledge based on a scientific approach to modeling and designing advanced production systems. The KIMP-APS program provides training for further PhD studies, research activities, or positions in industry as an expert with international experience gained by working in an international and multicultural context.
