It trains pluridisciplinary engineers whose fields of competence are varied and who are thereby prepared for a great variety of jobs.
There are four main areas of study within the department :
-
Engineering Sciences : materials science, transfer phenomena, metallurgy, process management,
materials resistance, computational science and nuclear energy,
-
Physics and physical chemistry : statistical physics, quantum physics, solid state physics,
crystallography, optics, materials and solutions physical chemistry,
-
Design and construction of a research or industrial prototype :
study, design and construction of an experimental assembling. All the students work together every week over the first two years
on a specific project. Last projects: solar cell car, photobioreactor for the production of Hydrogen,
-
Humanities (expression, languages, economy, law, management) as in the other departments.
The main objective of the training in the Department of Physics Engineering is to build a range of varied skills
and abilities in the engineering field, based on a grounding in physics on the one hand, as well as in engineering sciences
on the other. The
industrial prototype project is an essential element of the training as it enables the
future engineers to give concrete expression to their know-how from an easily transposable example of construction
and to be trained to tean-work.
Open-mindedness, listening abilities, presentation skills are developed thanks to the communication and management courses.
Environmental norms, quality management, and industrial production safety issues are dealt with with the help of
professionals.
In third year, a choice of modules allows students to specialise in Logistics or in :
-
Materials (polymer and composite materials, metallurgy, optoelectronics materials)
-
Measures and control ( non destructive control, vision, process controls)
The students are therefore prepared for work in research and development as well as in
Production,
Quality, Tests and Measures.
The industrial sectors are very varied. They are those of large
firms as well as of smaller companies : car industry, aeronautics, rail, space industry,
metallurgy and steel industry, power production and distribution, computing, administration, materials, etc.
