Teaching & PhD

Teaching

Mechanical Engineering

Courses

Mechanical construction I (for ME)

The ME-101 course aims at acquiring the rules and the standardized language of the technical communication in the fields of mechanics and micromechanics, and foundations in mechanical design. This course integrates practical work on Computer Aided Design using the CATIA V5 software.

Mechanical construction II (for ME)

This course aims to acquire the basic concepts allowing the creation of documents relating to mechanical engineering by classical pathway (drawing on paper) and electronically (using DAO software). Acquired concepts will enable to implement plans, within the standards

Introduction to mechanical design

Ce cours aborde la conception mécanique de façon concrète en illustrant la méthodologie de conception avec des exemples de mécanismes. Les produits modernes sont constitués de plusieurs éléments multi-disciplinaires. Le choix des matériaux et des méthodes de fabrications sera abordé.

Mechanical construction I (for MT)

The ME-106 course aims at acquiring the rules and the standardized language of the technical communication in the fields of mechanics and micromechanics, and foundations in mechanical design. This course integrates practical work on Computer Aided Design using the CATIA V5 software.

Mechanical construction II (for MT)

Mechanical systems

This course teaches the understanding of complex mechanical systems and introduces the basics for understanding and designing. The student will be able to explain the operation of complex systems, model their kinematics and choose solutions for designing a function out of a set of specifications.
