Presentation
The B.U.T. in Physical Measurements, Materials and Physical-Chemical Controls program trains graduates to become experts in materials characterization and physical-chemical controls.
Objectives
The MCPC program aims to certify versatile senior technicians who perform and interpret measurements: these require a broad spectrum of knowledge in the fields of physics, chemistry, materials, electronics, and computer science, as well as skills focused on instrumentation (testing, trials, research and development, ...), industrial control, and metrology.
Know-how and skills
- Conduct a measurement campaign
- Implementing metrology and quality procedures
- Implement a measurement and instrumentation chain
- Characterize the physical and chemical properties of a material
- Define specifications for measures in an environmental approach
Organization
