Introduction
Objectives
- Train scientists capable of solving complex problems relating to the management, design, and optimization of multiple-input technological systems.
- Develop the expertise and skills needed to carry out research into energy management, environmental protection, the use of innovative materials and the production of innovative structures as part of a global policy of sustainable development.
Skills and expertise
- Design and implement complex technological systems that are self-regulating (or autonomous) and that protect the environment through improved energy efficiency and the use of specific methods, processes, and materials.
- Expertise in associated tools (modeling, simulation, measurement, information management).
Multi-disciplinary Master's degree Course
The course program is closely linked to the research carried out by Polytech’s three research laboratories: Intelligent Systems (LISTIC), Energy and Sustainable Buildings (LOCIE), and Mechatronics (SYMME).
