Master Ingénierie des systèmes complexes
The Master's programme in Complex Systems Engineering at Savoie Mont Blanc University (USMB) offers a programme entitled Advanced Mechatronics. It is an internationally oriented course, taught in English and research-oriented.
Mechatronics is at the meeting point of the physical world and the digital world. It is a process integrating in synergy several sciences and skills (mechanics, electronics, control science and computer science). It enables the conception and design of products and systems offering increased or improved functionality. This requires to place the design of the product or system within its overall life cycle and to adopt a cooperative interdisciplinary approach.
Organised over 4 semesters, the training is strongly based on a project-based pedagogy and on a competency approach based on the use of an e-portfolio. It is also supported by contact hours (lectures, seminars, practical works) as well as self-directed study based on digital contents.
Admission in 1st or 2nd year is possible, depending on the held degree.
Objectifs
During the training, students acquire the skills necessary to:
- Define and solve research problems
- Manage a (research) project
- Contribute to design and achieve a mechatronic system.
Dimension internationale
Taught in English, the Advanced Mechatronics Master's programme welcomes students from abroad since its opening (Spain, Lebanon, Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Mexico, India...).
The teaching team is at the origin of the creation of the International Network for Higher Education in Engineering (INHEE), which brings together, in addition to USMB, the following institutions:
- Hochschule Kaiserslautern – University of Applied Sciences (Germany)
- Fachhochschule Technikum Wien (Austria)
- Universidad de Jaén (Spain)
- AGH University of Science & Technology (Poland)
- University of Genoa (Italy)
Students in the Advanced Mechatronics Master's programme may apply for mobility in one of the many international partners of Polytech Annecy-Chambéry Engineering School, within which the Master's programme is prepared.
They can also apply for a double master degree in Computer Engineering with the University of Genoa (Italy).
The USMB's Master's programme in Complex Systems Engineering was involved in the XP2P project "Crossing Borders: Peer-to-Peer Education in Mechatronics" under Key Action 2 of the Erasmus+ programme, in the "Strategic Partnerships" section. The aim of the project was the implementation and evaluation of peer learning in a context of project-based learning and competency-based assessment from an e-portfolio.
The programme was also involved in the SysE2021 project, a Franco-Italian Interreg Alcotra project with the University of Genoa. Click on the following links for more information on the project and on the Interreg Alcotra programme. The following is a brief description of the project in French.
Projet Alcotra SysE2021 : Centre d'excellence transfrontalier pour une formation en ingénierie des systèmes.
La robotisation et la digitalisation croissantes de l’industrie transforment le monde du travail. Aujourd'hui, les entreprises de la région ALCOTRA sont confrontées à une pénurie d'ingénieurs sur le marché du travail, en particulier, dans le domaine des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) ainsi que dans le domaine de l'ingénierie des systèmes. Les centres de recherche peinent également à recruter de nouveaux chercheurs. Or la région ALCOTRA possède un très grand potentiel pour la formation dans les domaines de l'automatisation et de l'ingénierie des systèmes, à l'image des deux partenaires du projet SysE2021, l’université de Gênes (chef de file) et l’université Savoie Mont Blanc. L'objectif général du projet, démarré en janvier 2021 et réalisé avec le soutien et le financement de l'Union européenne dans la cadre du programme Interreg Alcotra, était de créer une collaboration transfrontalière commune dans la formation en ingénierie des systèmes au niveau master. Le projet devait permettre d’accroître l’attractivité des programmes de formation dans les deux universités partenaires en leur donnant une portée internationale, d’augmenter les effectifs étudiants en ingénierie des systèmes, d’améliorer la qualité de la formation et enfin, de combler le manque d’information entre les entreprises de la région Alcotra en recherche de compétences dans le domaine de l'ingénierie des systèmes et les étudiants ou futurs étudiants de niveau master.
Grâce au projet, deux écoles d’été destinées aux étudiants de niveau Bac+2/+3 ont été organisées en septembre 2021 et 2022 à Imperia (Italie). Des étudiants en 2ème année du master mention Ingénierie des Systèmes complexes – parcours Advanced Mechatronics de Polytech Annecy-Chambéry (USMB) y ont participé pour présenter leur projet collectif mené dans le cadre du master en vue d’une participation au challenge international Robocup. Ils ont aussi joué le rôle de tuteurs au cours du hackathon organisé pendant l’école. On retiendra aussi l'organisation de deux écoles d’hiver destinées aux étudiants de 2ème année de master et aux doctorants à Annecy en décembre 2021 et 2022 (vidéo de l’école d'hiver 2022). Enfin, c'est dans le cadre de ce projet qu'a été conclu l'accord de double diplôme avec l'Université de Gênes (Laurea Magistrale in Computer Engineering).
Montant prévisionnel du projet : 503 000€
Subvention maximum : 427 550€
Les atouts de la formation
The programme, taught in English, in an international context, is based on a student-centred pedagogy that encourages the development of autonomy and collaborative work for a better preparation for professional life: project-based learning, peer learning, e-portfolio and competency-based approach.
During each semester, students carry out projects, being immersed in a research laboratory which is a partner of the master’s programme, in contact with researchers on various subjects, some of which may be in collaboration with companies.
During the first 3 semesters of the programme, students develop their capacity to take up collective challenges by preparing their participation in the international Robocup challenge.
Finally, an optional internship is possible at the end of the 1st year (6 weeks minimum) and a final year internship (16 weeks minimum) during the second semester of the 2nd year is compulsory. The local industrial base is conducive to the realisation of internships in line with the training programme. There is a strong link between training and research. An example of this link is the USMB's Disrupt'Campus Piton, which offers opportunities for final year internships.
