M3101 Power transmission design• This module is divided into 3 parts : M3101

Students are taught to calculate the dimensions of the bearing and the spring. They will also learn about the belt-pulley system and the wheel-chain system. Thirdly, they will study the reducer for instance, calculating the force, the power and so on.

M3101a – Mechanical power transmission

In this module, students are going to discover all types of gears, how to choose the right parameters. Mostly, there will be a lot of calculations in every exercise

M3101b – Gear studiesIn hydraulics classes, students will learn about the hydraulic power transmission, general relations from fluid mechanics and hydraulic circuits. Next, the professor will teach them the steps to dimension and design a hydraulic installation. Overall, there will be 3 hours of lectures, 4 sessions of tutorial class and 4 sessions of practical work.

M3101c – Hydraulics

TU1

TU1

M3111 Digital chains

This class is focused on the practical work. Basically, students will have 6 sessions of 4 hours with the professor. Software

programs used in this class are CATIA and EXCEL. The aim is to create an EXCEL file that can control all the parameters of the

models designed on CATIA.

TU2

M3201 Industrialization

Students will spend 6 sessions of practical work using CATIA to master

their skills in the Computer Aided Machining (CAM). In this module,

they will create a program of a manufacturing process (either milling

or turning). They are going to do it phase by phase and then verify it

through a simulation video. They will also learn about the principal, the

strategy and the advantage and the disadvantage of machining. Other than that, there will be 4 hours of

lectures and 6 hours of tutorial class.

Example of a milling simulation on CATIA

TU2

M3202 Production & Methods

Students will learn about how to calculate

processing costs, perform manufacturing

specification simulations using several methods and

identify error sources during machining

(kinematic and orientation/position

errors of machine-tools, tool wear, thermal

distortion, ...).

There will be also 3 sessions of practical work:Practical work 1: Manufacturing Simulation of a part

using turning machines called Taurus and SomabPractical work 2: Machine errors.

machine)

TU3

M3102 Dimensioning of structures

In the dimensioning of structures classes, students are taught about the stress tensor, resistance criteria like Tresca and Von Misès and lastly the transverse and longitudinal shear. Then, there will be 3 sessions of practical work concerning everything that has been learned in the tutorial classes including stresses in a

cylindrical tube under pressure.

TU4

MechanicsM3103

In Mechanics, professors will teach the students about kinematics, kinetics and dynamics of a mechanical system. They

will have to calculate the forces, the torques, the power and the energy of a complex system using all the theories and

formulas learned beforehand.

TU5

M3205 Industrial Organization and Management

This module teaches the students about the

industrial sector. They will learn how to satisfy the

needs of the clients. Next, they’ll have to understand

the concept of the push and pull system (advantages and

disadvantages). As for the lab work, they will use

software called e-prelude.

TU6

AT01 AT01 – Non Destructive Testing

In this subject, students will learn about the different methods available for testing industrial

materials and structures without destroying them. They will be taught about the characteristics of

steels, metallic and composite materials and the damage that could appear during the

manufacturing process or exploitation time. They will discover the different non-destructive

methods used in mechanical industries to detect, locate, size and characterise defects in parts; this

is useful for the diagnosis of the structure. The main techniques are visual control, penetrating

testing, magnetic methods, eddy currents, infrared thermography, leakage testing, acoustic

emission and ultrasonic testing.

TU7

M3303 Communication and Expression

During the third semester, students will have to do two

group presentations, the first one is a free topic presentation and

the second one is to choose several articles with different

themes and then make a summary of each articles. Students should act like a

newsreader in front of the whole class. Next, they will also do a

simulation of an interview session in order to help them to get used to it when they attend interviews for internships or for engineering

schools.

M3304 English

There will be 3 units in English for the third semester. Firstly, education.

Secondly, recruitment and the last one is how it’s made. To summarize, they

will learn about the educational system starting from the kindergarten until postdoctoral study and research. Next, they will be taught how to write a résumé and a cover letter. They will also do an interview simulation just

like in communication. Finally, students need to do a presentation about how an object is made along with the help of a video chosen on

Youtube.

TU8

M3108 Industrial student project

Students will continue their project given during

the second semester. They have to develop more

ideas and come up with several solutions because

at the end of the semester, there will be an evaluation

where they have to do a 20-minute presentation in

front of four professors. Next, they are asked to do

a 20-page report.
