Creation of a company
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
3 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This UE is applied to the "innovative project in mechanics". It is about giving the student the elements to simulate the creation of a company, from the product or the range of products developed in innovative project.
This EU is divided into :
course given by professional actors of the world of business creation
consultations given by professionals to accompany the students (groups of 3 students maximum) in the simulation of the creation of their company.
Professional integration

Faculty of Science
This course aims to prepare students for professional interviews by giving them the keys to value their past experiences.
This teaching is based on interview simulation games constructed on the basis of existing job offers.
Labor law deals with the analysis of the main rules of the employment contract and, in particular, with the employee's obligations, the employer's obligations and the termination of the employment relationship.
Composite and Laminated Materials
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
Although natural composites have been used for thousands of years, the high technology of advanced composites has only been used in the aerospace industry for the past fifty years. Applications are becoming increasingly diverse, from aircraft structures and hydrogen tanks to tennis rackets and boats. The objective of this course is to analyze and design structures in laminated composite materials using industrial calculation codes. To do so, a presentation of the different components of the composites of petrochemical or natural origin is made. Then the implementation processes are discussed. Finally, the theoretical and applied study of laminated composites is conducted. A practical application of these important theoretical notions is carried out on an industrial calculation code (ANSYS) during practical work and a project.
Product Material Process and Industrialization
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The Product-Material-Process triptych is apprehended through visits to companies whose themes are
- welding (Cameron France);
high capacity machining and non-destructive testing (Cameron France);
the RIM process (Teens);
plastic injection (Cid Plastique);
water jet cutting (MP water jet)
the realization of profiles and their heat treatment (Profiles System)
3D printing (plastic/metal)
Each of these visits is prepared, within the university, by the professional in charge of the visit. These interventions end with case studies.
The professionals met during the interventions of this EU participate in the industrialization phase of the innovative product by bringing their technical expertise.
Modeling and Simulation in Mechanics - Case Study
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The objective of this module is to practice numerical simulation tools (finite element or mechanism simulation software) while insisting on their limits, through case studies on: HPP isotropic elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analysis,...). In most of the examples treated, we will try to show the interest of experimentation, both to feed the models upstream and to validate them downstream.
Innovative Project
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
8 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The objective of this course is to develop a new product. The idea or the new need is the initiative of the project group made up of 2 or 3 students maximum. This innovative project covers the different phases of a project from the statement of the need to the realization of the functional prototype (see the pre-industrialization of the product) through the analysis of the competition, the search for a solution in principle, the definition of the validated solutions as well as the writing of the claim of their patent when the technical solution is defined This innovative project is associated with 5 other teaching units:
CAD and prototyping which corresponds to the implementation of the digital model and the realization of the functional prototype;
graphic design in which the student elaborates the communication elements of this innovative project: packaging, poster, presentation video, first page of the website;
eco-design in which the student defines the "environmental value of his innovative product".

Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is common to the CDPI and Biomechanics courses. It lies at the heart of any industrial product design process, whether for healthcare or any other field. In this unit, various players from the socio-economic world will contribute their experience in the field.
Product design and prototyping
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of a product designer, students must be able to introduce design very early on in the conception of the product.
The functional studies of the product's skin are done using foam models and/or 3D printed models. After validation, the manufacturing of the functional prototype is done using the means available in the mechanical department (conventional manufacturing, CN and 3D printing)
The prototype is validated during a project review called "functional prototype qualification".
Eco-design
Level of study
BAC +5
ECTS
3 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of an eco-design professional, students are able to :
Integrate eco-design in the design of products;
Optimize the environmental footprint of products ("product balance" software);
Limit the energy requirements of products;
Promote the company's responsible image;
Anticipate the environmental display.
Graphic design
ECTS
2 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of a professional graphic designer, students are able to produce communication elements using the software studied (Photoshop, Gimp, Inskape, etc.).
Renderings include the creation of a logo, a poster, product packaging and a website for the simulated company.
A project review specific to this UE validates the proposed communication elements.
