Teaching CoursesSustainable products and supply chains (english)The course is designed to provide a foundational understanding of sustainability principles and equip students with practical skills and tools to develop sustainable products and optimize supply chains.Innovation & entrepreneurship in engineering (english)This course is a joint initiative between the School of Engineering and the College of Management to encourage and promote entrepreneurship and management skills, engineering design, hands-on experience, teamwork, and awareness of social and ethical implications in engineering and management.Soft Microsystems Processing and Devices (english)Amongst others, following topics will be covered during the course: – Soft Microsystems and Electronics – Electroactive polymers – Printed electronics and microsystems – Inkjet printing of polymers – Stretchable electronics – Mechanical reliability – Stencil lithography – Scanning Probe LithographyMaterials structure (french)This course links the various structural scales of matter with the mechanical, thermal, electrical and optical properties of materials. Hands-on works and a team project provide a first experience as materials engineer.Materials:from chemistry to properties (french)This course enables to acquire the essential notions relative to the structure of matter, equilibrium and chemical reactions in relation to mechanical, thermal, electric, and magnetic properties of materials.Materials mechanics (french)Mechanics of deformable solids is introduced to determine stresses and strains into various isotropic materials loaded in tension, compression, shear, torsion and bending. Failure criteria and limits of elasticity are discussed. Structures from engineering and biology are provided.Rheology and fluid mechanics (french)This course is an introduction to the rheology of linear viscoelastic solids, and to fluid flow and methods used in rheology of fluids. Various types of fluids and phenomena are considered with various exemples, Newtonian or non-newtonian liquids, turbulence, reactive systems and suspensions. Materials engineering II (french)After Materials engineering I on polymers and metals, the links between processing-structures-properties of ceramics for microtechnology are presented. Hands-on works will allow to process and characterize properties of the 3 types of materials.Polymer composites + Laboratory Work (french)Mechanical and physical properties of anisotropic materials and calculation tools are presented. Constituents, processing techniques and structure-processing-properties relationships are given for different types of organic matrix composites. Applications in transport,sport and energy are discussed.Towards sustainable materials (english)This course will address and model key sustainability issues through an engineering lens. It will examine emerging materials, hard to abate, and critical materials used to manufacture items in our economy during the transition to NetZero targets and their environmental, societal, and human impacts.Composites technology (english)The latest developments in processing and the novel generations of organic composites are discussed. Nanocomposites, adaptive composites and biocomposites are presented. Product development, cost analysis and study of new markets are practiced in team work.CCMX Advanced Course – Instrumented Nanoindentation (english)This course is intended for current nanoindentation users who want to gain the experience and knowledge required to extract useful data from challenging sample materials. It is also intended for users of conventional indentation methods who wish to add this approach to their portofolio of methods.Science and technology of UV-induced polymerization (english)The course presents the main classes of photopolymers and key factors which control photopolymerization. It explains how to select the right formulation and optimize processes for a given application. Standard and novel characterization methods, new materials and new applications are also presented.CCMX Summer School – Characterisation of Materials (english)This course will present an overview of the different materials characterisation techniques available to materials scientists, engineers in mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, microtechnology or physics.
