PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Backed by the Advanced Mechanics department, the Mechatronics branch provides versatile training focused on mechanics, electronics and IT
A discipline still little known, mechatronics operates a synthesis between mechanics, electronics, automation and computer science in order to create new design and production processes and to invent products or machines with improved performance. In this context, the mechatronic engineer’s mission is to design new intelligent systems intended to improve the performance, quality and safety of equipment in all industrial sectors: transport, medical equipment, automotive, aeronautics, etc.
Mechatronics makes it possible to train R&D engineers, engineers in design, calculation and numerical simulation, mechatronics project managers, method and industrialization engineers, quality engineers, production engineers, consulting engineers, consultants, etc.
- Study mode: Full time
- Duration of the program: 3 years for the License and 5 years for the Master
