Cyber-physical systems engineering, a well-balanced theory/practice industry 4.0 training program
LOCATION
Campus Arts et Métiers d'Aix-en-Provence
KEY STRENGTHS
- Deep theoretical knowledge on the mainstream concepts, methods, models and tools involved in CPS engineering and Industry 4.0 technologies and processes
- Extended practical skills for the definition of multidisciplinary technical solutions for CPS engineering
- Deep understanding of the overall value chain, the strategic and supply chain management
- Structured research methodology to address a wide range of Industry 4.0 related research challenges
- Transversal skills gained when confronting to both academic and industrial multi-disciplinary projects
- International exposure through the courses taught in English and exchange with foreign students
PROGRAM
Teaching language : English
ECTS credits: 30 credits/session (60 ECTS for the M2)
Learning outcomes are reached through a well-balanced training program that combines theoretical and practical learning sequences, during which students are placed in both academic and real-life industrial configurations, in order to develop multiple transversal skills.
- From September to January (courses) : 4 professionalizing and 6 scientific modules, a language module (24h), a long multi-disciplinary project (128h). This project aims at further investigating the notions introduced in the various modules, and further interacting with state-of-the-art methods, models and tools through real-life industrial projects.
- From February to September : master thesis in academia or industry, in France or abroad.
The 4 professionalizing modules are as follows (48h) :
• Research methodology (12h)
• Artificial Intelligence and data analytics (12h)
• Industry 4.0: concepts, survey and future trends (12h)
• Digital factory and supply chain management (12h)
The 6 scientific modules are as follows (144h) :
• Digital Mock-Up for CPS modeling and advanced engineering (24h)
• Reverse engineering and digital prototyping of CPS (24h)
• Continuity for CPS engineering in a heterogeneous context (24h)
• Supervision of CPS during the engineering and exploitation phases (24h)
• Advanced robotics (24h)
• Mechatronics, advanced control, identification and fault-detection for CPS (24h)
We use RoboDK for offline simulation and programming of industrial robots.
