Mechanical Design Engineer for Energy and Transportation

In this era of industrial renewal, France has chosen to focus its economic and industrial development strategy on several key technologies, with a significant emphasis on the energy and transportation sectors of the future.
In this context, UTBM has decided to launch a new “Mechanical Engineering” work-study program to train young people capable of developing innovative solutions to address these various societal challenges, without neglecting the innovative enabling technologies that are synonymous with sustainable development and substantial productivity gains (robotics, factory of the future, recycling, and green materials…).

Engineers who complete this program possess strong scientific and technical skills, particularly in the design of mechanical, thermomechanical, and even mechatronic products and systems. Thanks to a genuine culture of scientific and technical excellence, a daily focus on innovation, and industrial experience gained through a work-study program, they are well-equipped to join any company in the field of mechanical engineering, particularly those in the transportation or energy sectors.

Objectives

  • Be able to lead any project involving the design of innovative mechanical products or systems in the energy or transportation sectors, from identifying the customer’s needs through to the validation of an industrial prototype.
  • Be able to master modern digital tools for collaborative project management, highly productive product engineering, and the digital modeling, simulation, and optimization of the multiphysics phenomena to which products are subjected.
  • Be able to bring concepts to life and create prototypes using high-performance materials as well as rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing techniques, in collaboration with industrial and even academic partners.

Course Distribution

  • Scientific knowledge: mathematics, solid and fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, materials science, product design, machine and mechanism design, computer-aided design…
  • Techniques and methods: modeling and numerical simulation, lean design and collaborative design in a PLM environment, sensors and actuators, conventional and alternative energy sources, engineering for new transportation systems (automotive, two-wheeled vehicles, marine, aeronautics, space, etc.)
  • General Knowledge: work organization, regulations, management…
  • Expression and Communication: English, as well as oral and written communication.

testimonials

After completing my end-of-studies internship at Renault Trucks and earning my DUT in Production Management (GMP) from the University of Lyon 1, I decided to apply to UTBM to enroll in the new apprenticeship program: Mechanical Design for Energy and Transportation. This program combines scientific and technical knowledge with innovation methods. Furthermore, the opportunity to apply what I learn directly to a real-world project in the field of transportation or energy is very appealing. The work-study schedule gave me a wide range of industry options when searching for a company, which ultimately led me to the aerospace and defense sectors. The apprenticeship allows me to continue my studies while already having a foot in the door of the industrial world.
