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.
Composite and Laminate Materials

Faculty of Science
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.
Product Material Process and Industrialization
Level of education
Master's degree
ECTS
5 credits
Training structure
Faculty of Science
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.

Training structure
Faculty of Science
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.

Master's degree
ECTS
3 credits
Training structure
Faculty of Science
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.
Graphic design
ECTS
2 credits
Training structure
Faculty of Science
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.
