The MNT department prepares engineers for a future in the fields of design, research, and development, and production of materials and devices. Students acquire the skills required to work in state-of-the-art environments such as materials (semiconductors, metals, special alloys, composites, ceramics, etc.) or in microelectronics and nanotechnology.
Engineers are given a multi-disciplinary scientific grounding (mathematics, physics, electronics, etc). Practical training in laboratories is emphasised. The MNT department offers a wide range of courses in three main topics :
-
Materials Science : advanced and nano-materials, polymer composites, biomaterials, ceramics, etc.
-
Device and Component Technology (clean-room facility): microelectronics, optoelectronics, semi-conductor devices, lasers, nanotechnology.
-
Instrumentation / Measurement
This three year course includes a total of nine months of in-company training periods. During their final year, students must choose to specialise in one of the following fields :
-
Materials Science
Advanced Materials, Mechanics of Materials, etc.
Materials selection, materials characterisation, NDT, etc.
Master's Research degree in Solid State Chemistry and Materials Science
-
Micro-optoelectronics
Development of micro-electronic devices (integrated circuits)
Optoelectronic devices (lasers, optical sensors, optical amplifiers, optical multiplexers, etc.)
Master's Research degree in Physics
Students have the opportunity to spend time abroad through a training period of between 8 and 16 weeks and/or a study period of one or two semesters:
One third of all the students have undergone training abroad in countries such as the USA, the UK, Switzerland, New-Zealand, China, Austria, Canada, India , etc.
One third of all students spend one semester or a full academic year at a university abroad.
Within the Erasmus – Socrates Programme:
Universidad Complutense de Madrid (Spain)
Universidad Politecnica de Valence : ETSII (Materials Science) (Spain)
RWTH Aachen (Germany)
TU Clausthal (Germany)
