Introduction

This programme provides training in the core areas of mechanics : fluid mechanics and transfer, computational methods in applied mechanics, mechanics of materials and structures, applied dynamics, mechanical production, mechanical  design, mechanical manufacturing, thermal machines, thermodynamics and energy.

Through didactic laboratories, case studies, projects and a thesis, you will engage with research laboratories and become familiar with cutting-edge methods in the relevant disciplines.

The numerous integrated projects you undertake will enable you to design, model, create, and experimentally validate systems, prototypes, and devices.

Your profile

You

  • Have solid skills in the field of mechanics due to your undergraduate studies
  • Plan to pursue a career in the industrial sector where you will participate in design and research or in the organisation and supervision of production;
  • Wish to use your skills in the following fields: aeronautics, the spatial industry, energy, the metallurgical or plastics industry, the automotive industry, biomechanics, etc.;
  • Seek a programme that will allow you to master scientific, technological and human issues linked to the field of mechanics.
Your future job

Civil engineers are present in all sectors of the industrial world: chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, electronics and telecommunications, metallurgy, aeronautics, construction and civil engineering, large-scale distribution, banking or consultancy services, nanotechnologies and technologies adapted to medical needs and more.


They work as researchers and developers, are responsible for production or management and hold jobs in marketing and sales (of advanced technological products).

They can be found in finance, IT, training or quality control departments, in the public sector, higher education and universities, or at the Ministry of Equipment and Transportation. (www.fabi.com)
