Presentation
By enrolling in the Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology (B.U.T. GMP), students benefit from a three-year integrated program leading to a bachelor's degree. The degree is aligned with international standards and facilitates exchanges with foreign universities.
With the B.U.T. GMP, students continue to benefit from university-level education and training in technology, supervised by experienced teaching teams. The curriculum continues to focus on professional scenarios and periods spent in companies in the form of internships or work-study programs.
Objectives
The B.U.T. GMP aims to train generalists in the mechanical engineering industry, regardless of the sector of activity, who are capable of bringing a new product to market through the first three stages of its life cycle: design to define the product, industrialization to develop manufacturing and assembly processes, and finally industrial organization to organize production lines.This versatility allows graduates to adapt to changing business needs and future career developments. They participate in the engineering process, from processing the expressed need to implementing the technological solution in response to that need, while respecting time, cost, and quality constraints. In the context of the industry of the future, each BUT GMP course will provide an essential complementary skill for businesses today and tomorrow: innovation, virtualization, sustainable development, management, and marketing.
Know-how and skills
Upon completion of the program, graduates will be able to apply their skills in three main professional situations:
- product design,
- its industrialization
- and finally, the industrial organization to be implemented.
In each of these three situations, he will be able to use the four major skills:
- Specify: determine the industrial requirements corresponding to a customer's needs;
- Develop: develop products, manufacturing processes, and associated industrial organizations;
- Produce: produce a digital model of the product and manufacture it using CAM software and hardware currently used in the industry.
- Operate: monitor the life cycle of the product and the production system.
These four practical elements apply to the three types of situations (product design, product industrialization, or industrial organization) and therefore constitute the four skills common to BUT GMP graduates.
Organization
Knowledge assessment
Knowledge is assessed on an ongoing basis and at the end of each semester ( 30 ECTS per semester). This allows students to gauge their level of mastery of the skills acquired. A total of 6 semesters (180 ECTS) must be completed in order to obtain the B.U.T. GMP.
Students who do not wish to continue into the third year of the B.U.T. GMP program and who have earned 120 ECTS credits (four semesters) may request a Diplôme Universitaire Technologie (D.U.T.) GMP (two-year university degree).
Special facilities
High-level athletes
The university wishes to provide high-level athleteswith the necessary resources to pursue their university studies. Support is provided in the form of study programs adapted to sporting constraints, with the aim of reconciling higher education and sporting careers.
To find out if you are eligible, check your eligibility here
The application for high-level status must be made every year.
Established artists
The university promotes access to initial and continuing education for established artists. Support may take the form of tailored course arrangements. For more information, contact the Registrar's Office. here.
Students with disabilities
Complementary in their missions, the Handiversité and Preventive Medicine services work together to support you in the success of your educational journey. They are your primary contacts for providing information, assessing your situation, recommending appropriate accommodations, and monitoring their implementation. (More info here).
Internships, supervised projects
Internship | Mandatory |
|---|---|
Duration of the internship | A minimum of 22 weeks spread over 3 years in order to apply the skills acquired. |
Supervised project
A total of 600 hours is allocated to supervised projects. These projects enable students to conduct research in small groups. They are carried out over the three years of the program in parallel with traditional teaching.
Program
The program begins in September and lasts three years. It focuses on academic and technological instruction. The total number of hours is 2,000, spread over six semesters. The program is built around a skills-based approach. Skills are acquired through a combination of professional scenarios and theoretical instruction.

(*) Learning and Assessment Situations (LAS)
LASenable the assessment of skills in situ. This assessment is carried out in accordance with all the elements that make up the reference framework and is based on the portfolio approach, i.e., a process of reflection and demonstration led by the student themselves. As a set of actions, SAE requires students to choose, mobilize, and combine resources that are relevant and consistent with the targeted objectives. The challenges of SAE are therefore multiple:
- Participating in the development of skills;
- Supporting learning and mastery of resources;
- Integrating self-assessment by the student;
- Enabling individualized learning.
(**) The portfolio approach
Sometimes referred to as a skills portfolio or professional passport, the portfolio is a point of connection between the academic world and the socio-economic world. In this respect, it addresses all aspects of the student's professionalization: from their training to their future as a professional.
Starting in the second year, students choose a track and acquire skills specific to their chosen track:
- Innovation for Industry: MASTER tools and approaches for creativity, innovation support, and industrial property.
- Industrial Process Management: MASTER environmental standards and related processes throughout the entire product life cycle.
