M2 - Design and Development of Industrial Products

This EU is applied to the "innovative mechanical engineering project." The aim is to give students the tools they need to simulate the creation of a business, based on the product or range of products developed in the innovative project.

This EU is divided into:

course taught by professionals from the world of entrepreneurship

consultations provided by professionals to support students (groups of up to three students) in simulating the creation of their own business.

The aim of this course is to prepare students for job interviews by giving them the keys to promoting their past experiences.

This training is based on interview simulation games built on the basis of existing job offers.

Labor law here focuses on analyzing the main rules of the employment contract, in particular the obligations of the employee, the obligations of the employer, and the termination of the employment relationship.

Although natural composite materials have been used for thousands of years, advanced composite technology has only been used in the aerospace industry for the past fifty years. Applications are increasingly varied: from aircraft structures and hydrogen tanks to tennis rackets and boats. The objective of this course is to analyze and design structures made of laminated composite materials using industrial calculation codes. To do this, a presentation of the different components of petrochemical or natural composites is given. Next, the implementation processes are discussed. Finally, a theoretical and applied study of laminated composites is conducted. A practical application of these important theoretical concepts is carried out using industrial calculation software (ANSYS) during practical work and a project.

The Product-Material-Process triptych is explored through company visits covering the following topics:

- welding (Cameron France);

large-capacity machining and non-destructive testing (Cameron France);

the RIM process (Ados);

plastic injection molding (Cid Plastique);

water jet cutting (MP water jet)

the production of profiles and their heat treatment (System Profiles)

3D printing (plastic/metal)

Each of these visits is prepared within the university by the professional in charge of the visit. These presentations conclude with case studies.

The professionals encountered during this EU's interventions participate in the industrialization phase of the innovative product by contributing their technical expertise.

The objective of this module is to provide practical experience with numerical simulation tools (finite element or mechanism simulation software), with a strong emphasis on their limitations, through case studies on: isotropic HPP elasticity, modal analysis, mechanism simulation, topological optimization, thermal and thermomechanical analysis, etc. In most of the examples covered, we will attempt to demonstrate the value of experimentation, both in terms of feeding data into the models upstream and validating them downstream.

The objective of this EU is to develop a new product. The idea or new requirement is initiated by the project group, which consists of a maximum of two or three students. This innovative project covers the different phases of a project, from the statement of requirements to the creation of a functional prototype (see pre-industrialization of the product), including analysis of the competition, research into possible solutions, definition of validated solutions, and drafting of patent claims once the technical solution has been defined. This innovative project is linked to five other teaching units:

CAD and prototyping, which involves creating a digital model and building a functional prototype;

graphic design in which the student develops communication elements for this innovative project: packaging, poster, presentation video, website homepage;

eco-design in which students define the "environmental value of their innovative product."

This teaching unit is common to both the CDPI and Biomechanics courses. It is central to any industrial product design process, whether for healthcare or any other field. In this teaching unit, various stakeholders from the socio-economic world will contribute their experience in the field.

This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of a product designer, students must be able to introduce design at a very early stage in the product design process.

Functional studies of the product's skin are carried out using foam models and/or 3D-printed models. Once validated, the functional prototype is manufactured using the resources available in the mechanical engineering department (conventional manufacturing, CNC, and 3D printing).

The prototype is validated during a project review entitled "functional prototype qualification."

This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the participation of an eco-design professional, students will be able to:

Integrateeco-design into product design;

Optimizing the environmental footprint of products (product life cycle assessment software);

Limit the energy requirements of products;

Promote the company's responsible image;

Anticipate environmental labeling.

This teaching unit is linked to the innovative project. With the help of a professional graphic designer, students are able to produce communication materials using the software studied (Photoshop, Gimp, Inkscape, etc.).

The deliverables include the creation of a logo, poster, product packaging, and website for the simulated company.

A project review specific to this EU allows the proposed communication elements to be validated.
