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.
Study of errors sources on a HES400 lathe.Practical work 3: Manufacturing time and SPC (CTX
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.
