IMCE Course - Energy Conversion Machinery Engineering

National Master's Degree (DNM) in Energy Conversion Machinery Engineering (IMCE)

The Energy Conversion Machinery Engineering program is geared toward careers in aeronautics, automotive, transportation, energy production and conversion, petrochemicals, and agri-food, particularly in the research and development departments of industrial companies that rely heavily on optimized design, development, and control of rotating machinery (pumps, turbines, fans, compressors, volumetric machines, etc.) as well as energy systems that conserve natural resources. It provides knowledge of aerohydrodynamic and mechanical modeling, as well as the durability and performance optimization of these machines and assemblies.

Pedagogy

Training schedule

This program lasts two years. The first year is offered at the Arts et Métiers campus Arts et Métiers Paris as part of the "Factory of the Future - Energy" course.

In the second year, the program includes a semester of classes from September to February. The second semester, starting in March, is dedicated to an internship lasting at least 20 weeks.

The first semester of the program is divided into two 8-week bimesters, each comprising 4 compulsory course units and optional course units (1 to be chosen), and associated with an exam session.

Educational objectives

The scientific and integration objectives of this National Master's Program correspond to careers in aeronautics, automotive, transportation, energy production and conversion, petrochemicals, and agri-food.

These industrial sectors rely heavily on the design, development, and control of rotating machinery.

The acquisition of knowledge concerns both aerohydrodynamic and mechanical modeling, as well as the durability and performance optimization of these machines.

Assessment methods

Each module can be assessed through practical assignments, projects, reports, oral presentations, exams, and the assessment rules are explained at the beginning of the program. Each module is graded on a scale of 0 to 20.

The final grade for S3 modules must be greater than or equal to 10, and there is compensation between modules.
For the master's thesis, the final grade must be 10 or higher.

Make-up exams are held at the beginning of the second semester.

Career opportunities

Sectors of activity and types of employment

Industries related to aeronautics, space, automotive, rail, marine, oil production and exploitation, housing, environment, etc.
Public and private laboratories or industrial technical centers.

Professions

Engineer/researcher in R&D in large companies or start-ups, in many sectors (industry, construction, services, consulting, etc.) and fields (automotive, aerospace, healthcare, IoT, etc.).

Continuing education

PhD student, in academia or industry (CIFRE), with the aim of becoming a recognized expert in the field of turbomachinery.

Admission requirements

Admission to the Master's program is granted to holders of an M1 (Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, MAF) or a French or foreign degree recognized as equivalent (engineering degree from certain schools in particular, or successful completion, with a good grade point average, of the second year of the School, for schools associated with the Master's program), and a favorable decision by an admissions committee that meets twice a year (July and September).

Given the nature and objectives of the Master's program, candidates must have a solid grasp of the fundamentals of thermodynamics and continuum mechanics, particularly fluid mechanics.

An initial selection will be made based on the application. Candidates will be notified of the decision concerning them during the month of July. The jury will make one of the following decisions for each student:

Rejection,
Waiting list,
Final admission.

The jury will meet again in September and, if places are available, will review the waiting lists and new applications. Candidates will be notified of the decision by letter, no later than the second half of September.
