Master's Degree in Engineering Grenoble INP - Ense3, Mechanical and energy engineering (ME)

Summary

The Mechanical and Energy Engineering branch trains engineers in the skills required for design, trials, calculations, research development and operations supervision in the domains of transport (aeronautical, aerospace, automotive), traditional and renewable energies (production and conservation), thermal and hydraulic industries, the oil sector and process engineering.

Objectives

Engineers having followed this branch will be expert in fluid mechanics and in thermal science. They will also have important skills in mechanics of solids, mechanical design and numerical simulations. They will know how to:

• Produce specifications or a technical dossier for a hydraulic or energy system.
• Design prototypes, new products or new processes through mechanical or thermal expertise as part of a design team.
• Perform trials, both on models and in an industrial setting, and interpret the results.
• Develop global (system approach) or local (mechanical approach) numerical models of fluids, heat transfers and solids, and correctly use these models.
• Coordinate and manage the design, apparatus maintenance and exploitation of a system in the domains of energy, processes, transport or the petroleum industry.
• Initiate and perform applied research in fluid mechanics or thermal science.
• Manage an installation of energy production or fluid management (potable water, heating, etc.) including the management of any required materials.
• Manage the material and human resources required for a production, design or research group.

Entry requirements

• To be admitted into Year 1 (at two years of post-secondary study), students must have completed two years of preparatory courses (science-track or Institute of Technology common preparatory program) or have earned an undergraduate degree from a university (in France, mainly DUT or L2).
• Admissions on qualification to 2nd year (French and foreign students)
• Exchange students

Program

1st year 

Year 1 core curriculum

2nd year

• semester 7 curriculum
• semester 8 curriculum
   

3rd year

• semester 9 curriculum

Elective semester
Semester 9 can be completed in one of two cross-disciplinary programs that concern all majors:

• IPEM Industrial Processes & Environmental Management
• MANINTEC Management, Innovation, Technologies

 

Semester 10  

30 ECTS
The final semester of the Grenoble INP-Ense3 course is exclusively dedicated to the End of Studies Project.
This occurs from February to June, either overseas or in France, in a research laboratory or in industry. This allows students to use the methods and knowledge they have acquired in a professional environment. They will experience engineering working methods and learn how to manage a project, test solutions and develop their autonomy and initiative.
The End of Studies Project also develops their sense of responsibility by submitting them to a demand for results within a pre-determined time frame. The student engineer is required to produce a report and an oral presentation on their project to a jury.

Board of examiners

Each semester is worth 30 ECTS credits, spread out over the different courses completed. Students must obtain a grade of at least 10/20 in each course to obtain the credits.

International exchange

Students in this major benefit from many agreements between Grenoble Institute of Technology and partners around the globe in the form of exchange programs, dual-degree programs, internships, and more.
