3A Expertise - "Polymer and Composite Parts Development" Course
General engineer, student curriculum, third-year expertise in polymer and composite parts development.
Campus
Arts et Métiers Campus Arts et Métiers Paris
Objectives
In 2017, polymers and composites were the most widely processed materials (by volume) in the world (300 million tons/year). Composites now account for the majority (by weight) of materials used in aircraft such as the Airbus A350 XWB. In the European Union, the plastics sector employs around 1.5 million people, 90% of whom work in production.
The objective of this unit of expertise is therefore to train generalist engineers specializing in the life cycle of polymers and composites, and in particular in the design and manufacture of parts.

Objectives
- Educational and scientific
In the current context, where various economic and regional stakeholders are taking environmental issues into account, EcoBS expertise provides future engineers with the tools they need to understand, identify, analyze, evaluate, and reduce the environmental impacts of activities related to the creation of value in goods and services.
Life cycle engineering methodologies make it possible to take into account all of a product's environmental impacts throughout its life cycle.
This approach can be implemented throughout all phases of product/service development and marketing using eco-innovation, life cycle analysis, eco-design tools, and circular economy and functional economy concepts.
In line with the current trend toward dematerialization, the concept of a product also refers to a service.
- Professionals and career opportunities
Be able to integrate tools into a company and its design process that enable the sustainable application of eco-design and eco-innovation approaches.
Leading this eco-design initiative: integration into the process, but also implementation of assessment tools and product and service innovation.
Program
- Module 1 - Current situation
Overview of environmental issues and resources in our modern societies. Interactions between the economy, the environment, and society. Consequences and prospects for economic actors in product development models.
- Module 2 - Environmental Assessment of Products and Services
