Key facts

Graduates will have acquired an attitude of scientific synthesis, analytical reasoning as well as scientific and technical independence allowing them to design new technologies. Training in research skills provides mastery in developing, implementing and monitoring technical and scientific innovations for a sustainable society.

The first year of the program provides the students with a broad and in-depth knowledge of the four pillars of this master: electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, thermo-fluids engineering and control engineering and automation. Furthermore, the students learn to design complex systems using advanced numerical techniques. In the second year, technological electives, non-technical electives and academic specializing electives together with a Master's dissertation allow the students to either deepen or broaden their knowledge in topics of their interest. The Master's dissertation is a final step in the academic learning process. It aims at fostering the ability to conduct scientific research independently. The technical electives, company visits and guest lectures prepare the master students for a smooth transition from academia to the industrial practice.
