M2 4.0 Mechanical Engineering and Materials

Description & objectives

The objective of the orientation Engineering 4.0 for Mechanics and Materials (Acronym in French I2M) is to train master students with a strong mechanical focus having significant technical and technological skills, strong knowledge in the field of materials and open to the company, via transverse modules. The leaning strategy is based on a balance between theoretical in-depth study and real-life simulation, through experimentation, developments with current industry and research software, particularly in simulation and CAD (3DEXPERIENCE, CATIA, ABAQUS, INSPIRE, Solidworks, DIGIMAT ) and programming including machine learning approaches.
The Master degree of Mechanical Engineering is strongly involved in the CAMEX IA project on digitalization and Artificial Intelligence.

The degree offers opportunities for careers in engineering for industry (production, design, numerical simulation, innovation, research and development), in services or research with the widest possible opening towards international horizon.

The M2 program is broken down into 3 orientations:

  • Mechanics, materials orientation (pro, possibility of work-study): train engineers in mechanics, materials and structures, digital simulation, able to enter the industry with awareness of sustainable development and artificial intelligence. Training with industrial softwares is a guarantee of good professional integration.
  • Mechanics, materials, structures and processes MMSP orientation (research): prepare students, through training and research, for a PHD in the fields of mechanics of materials and structures, processes and materials. This course is open on the Metz site and for students of Lorraine INP (Polytech and ENSEM) in Nancy. Students will be able to pursue a PHD in laboratories (LEM3, IJL, LEMTA, etc.).
  • Mechanical engineering orientation (pro, possibility of work-study): train engineers with dual skills, in the field of design of products and prototypes and in that of management. The acquisition of knowledge and know-how is based on practical studies and the use of devices dedicated to design, manufacturing, and modeling. Note apprenticeship is available also. A strong international environment is proposed since part of the degree can be prepared in Germany and obtaining a joint diploma (University of Lorraine-Isfates/University of Saarland).

 

Apprenticeship

  • The Master in Mechanical Engineering is also open as a work-study contract, with professionalization contracts or apprenticeship contracts. The contract can last 1 year or 2 years.
  • The work-study schedule in M1 is 3 days at the university and 2 days of work until mid-May. From mid-May to September, the student is working within the company.
  • In M2, two orientations (Mechanical Engineering(GM) and Materials Mechanics (MM)) are also open to Apprenticeship.
  • For more information on opportunities, we advise you to visit the CFA website of the University of Lorraine.

 

After the master’s degree

At the end of his training, the graduate:

  • specializes in mechanical engineering and material sciences;
  • may be hired as an engineer or design engineer;
  • can be responsible for study and R&D activities related to design validation, simulation, quality, manufacturing, production and industrialization methods.

Thus, the graduate integrates:

  • within: companies, design offices, technological centers, R&D laboratories, academic or private;
  • in all industrial sectors in particular: mechanical industry, automotive, aeronautics, aerospace, steel industry, etc.
