Study programme 2015-2016

Teaching and training



 By enrolling in the Master’s degree programme in Engineering and Applied Mathematics, students will acquire the necessary knowledge and expertise for mathematical engineering. Students will learn to design, analyse, and implement mathematical models for engineering complex systems in the industrial sector and to elaborate on effective strategies for optimising their performance.

During their training, students will acquire theoretical and methodological tools that are used in all the fields of engineering sciences as well as in other fields such as economics, finance, environmental sciences or daily life.

The Master’s degree in Engineering and Applied Mathematics is characterised by the flexibility it offers students when it comes to their programme, half of which is composed of elective courses. In particular, a wide range courses, composed of twelve course modules (known as major course modules) are available, some of which focus on the fundamental disciplines of applied mathematics (optimisation and operational research, automatic and dynamic systems, discrete mathematics and computer science). Other modules focus on mathematical applications (such as financial mathematics, information and signal processing, biomedical engineering, cryptography and computer security, modelling and simulating physical phenomena, statistics). Finally, there are modules that deal with the economic sphere (management, economics, econometrics, small and medium sized business creation).

On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1.demonstrate mastery of a solid body of knowledge of the fundamentals of science in general and engineering sciences in particular, which will allow you to understand and solve problems relating to engineering:

 


2. organise and carry out a procedure in applied engineering to develop a product (and/or service) that meets a need or solves a particular problem:

 


3. organise and carry out a research project in order to understand a physical phenomenon or a new problem relevant to the discipline

4. contribute as part of a team to the planning and completion of a project while taking into account its objectives, allocated resources, and constraints

5. communicate effectively (orally or in writing) with the goal of carrying out assigned projects in the workplace. Ideally you are able to communicate in one or more foreign language in addition to French

6. Demonstrate that you are able to do your job with a professional conscience and in a socially responsible manner. Show that you can evaluate the socio-technical relevance of a solution before putting it into place.
