- Formation initiale
The first year is dedicated to general scientific courses and is common to all students of the Master of Applied Mechanics (SMA). In second year, they can choose among several independant programs. The Energetics and Propulsion program is one of them.
Langues d'enseignement
100% of the language of instruction and examination in English during the first year including 160 hours of French language courses.During the 2d year, courses and Master thesis are either in French or English language.
Spécificités
Energetic and propulsion master starts with theoretical courses (gas dynamics, combustion, turbomachinery) which are then applied to study various propulsion plants (internal combustion engines, aeronautic propulsion and spatial propulsion). Experimental methods course includes practical studies and measurements carried out by master students on some research facilities available in the Laboratory (internal combustion engine test bench, turbocharger test bench, shock tube,..)
Courses are taught by various speakers from Centrale Nantes (Internal Combustion Engines Research Team) and others prestigious universities or leading companies (Snecma, Bosch,..).
Different Master thesis are offered in university labs (Centrales Nantes, Cranfield, Eindhoven, Birmingham, Valencia,..) or in companies (Renault, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Delphi, Valéo, Snecma, EADS ) in the field of propulsion.
Objectifs
The aim of the Energetic and Propulsion M2 program is to give students an advanced training on energetic (applied thermodynamics) to study some propulsion plants, in particular internal combustion engines.
Et après ?
- Poursuites d'études
Graduate students may prepare a PhD, in particular with the Internal Combustion Engines Research Team of Centrale Nantes, which proposes experimental and/or numerical studies, often in cooperation with automotive manufacturers, on three main topics: combustion/emissions, turbocharging/air management and innovative propulsion plants/hybrid propulsion.
- Débouchés professionnels
Graduate students may also work for automotive or aerospace R&D.
- Echanges internationaux
- Some foreign students share their experiences...
