Présentation
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:
Design and achieve a mechatronic system
- by implementing the life cycle of the system
- by implementing an integrated process of multiphysics and multi-technology modeling, simulation and design
- by choosing, designing or implementing the components of the mechatronic system: mechanical and electromechanical, sensors, instrumentation, architectures, digital infrastructure
Manage a research project
- by organising their activity and that of a team
- by reporting to the project owner
- by considering the questions of eco-responsibility of their projects and their legal and
Master the expectations for research activities
- by managing and spreading scientific knowledge
- by applying the principles of professional ethics
- by knowing how research is organized and funded
- by understanding the issues of intellectual property
- by working in an international context
- by managing uncertainty and challenges
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)
- Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania)
- University of Genoa (Italy)
The USMB's Master's programme in Complex Systems Engineering is 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 is the implementation and evaluation of peer learning in a context of project-based learning and competency-based assessment from an e-portfolio.
The programme is 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 Interreg Alcotra programme.
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.
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 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 and a final year internship (16 weeks at least) 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.
