Teaching CoursesInnovation & 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. Mise en oeuvre des matériaux II (french)Introduction to processing-structure-property relationships in polymers, ceramics and metals, providing the foundation for materials and process selection in the manufacturing of microengineering components.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.Life cycle engineering of polymers (english) Composites technology (english)Basics of composite materials Constituents Processing of composites Design of composite structuresCurrent development Nanocomposites Textile composites Biocomposites Adaptive composites Sustainable compositesApplications Driving forces Recycling of materials (english)Students understand the issues and key factors of a waste recycling process. They know the sorting and recycling technologies of various materials and are able to compare the environmental impact of recycling with that of using raw material resources.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.
