Objectives
The master Sustainable Manufacturing and Advanced Technologies prepares future industry executives, researchers and teacher-researchers by offering them unique technical and scientific expertise. They acquire a solid grounding in the domain of materials and advanced manufacturing processes enabling them to meet future technological and environmental challenges for a sustainable environment
This master's program aims to:
- To provide the graduates with strong basis in materials and advanced manufacturing processes
- To develop a practical know-how on a wide range of manufacturing processes and characterization techniques
- To train a new generation of graduates and future industrial managers that are capable to embrace future technological and environmental challenges towards a sustainable environment
- To develop international and intercultural skills;
- To train the graduates in collaborative work and project management
- To propose key specialization in sustainable manufacturing and, for some students, insights into digital, smart and clean manufacturing at a partner university.
Program
The course is divided into four semesters taught by Centrale Lyon at its Saint-Etienne campus and Mines Saint-Etienne.
First year
The first year of the Master is structured in two complementary semesters. Students are introduced to the fundamental concepts of manufacturing processes at Centrale Lyon then acquire the fundamentals of materials at the Ecole des Mines de Saint-Étienne.
First semester courses take place at Centrale Lyon on the Saint-Etienne campus.
- Basics of production engineering
- Metalworking processes
- Additive manufacturing
- High-temperature processes
- Physical measurements
- Cross-disciplinary project on manufacturing technologies
- Research methods
- Modern language
Second-semester teaching takes place at Mines Saint-Étienne.
- Materials 2 : crystal defects, mechanisms of plastic deformation, solid state diffusion and crystallographic texture formation
- Materials mechanics 2 : Failure modes, Mechanical failure analysis, Important mechanical testing methods
- Materials characterization 2 : X-ray fluorescence, scattering, diffraction and imaging; mass spectroscopy, thermal analysis.
- Computing 2: Finite Element formulation of thermo-elasticity problems in Materials science, Coding algorithms in Python, Use of Abaqus Finite element Software
- General training 2: French and/or English, Bibliographic survey, Scientific writing and presenting, Preparation to professional life
Second year
In the second year, students follow a specific ‘Sustainable Manufacturing’ course run by École Centrale Lyon and Mines Saint-Etienne, before completing their course with a 5-month work placement.
- Material removal and wear modeling
- Surface integrity modeling
- Functional and usage properties
- Component repair using thick coatings
- Lifecycle analysis
- Cross-disciplinary teaching units
- Strategic management
- Language: advanced French
Some students who have completed the first year may, on application, take part in an academic exchange at a partner institution.
Students must complete a 5-month work placement in industry or in one of the partner research laboratories.
Diploma and certification
This course awards a national master's degree - controlled by the State.
