Master of Science 

(Diplôme National de Master DNM)

Speciality Engineering of Energy Conversion Machines

The Energy Conversion Machinery Engineering program is aligned with careers in the aerospace, automotive, transportation, energy production and conversion, petrochemical, and agri-food industries—particularly within the Research and Development departments of these industrial companies. These sectors heavily rely on the optimized design, development, and control of rotating machinery (such as pumps, turbines, fans, compressors, volumetric machines, etc.). The program provides knowledge in both aero thermodynamic and hydrodynamic modeling, as well as mechanical modeling, durability, and performance optimization of these machines and systems.

Strengths of the proposed program

  • A specialization closely aligned with the Research and Development challenges faced by many industries.
  • R&D is approached from a broad industrial perspective.
  • Students acquire knowledge in aerodynamics and mechanical modeling, as well as in the optimization of turbomachinery performance.
  • This training is highly sought after in both industrial and research sectors (see "Career Opportunities").

Training objectives

  • Acquire expertise in the design and flow analysis of turbomachinery (pumps, fans, compressors, turbines, various volumetric machines, etc.).
  • Develop skills in the fields of energy systems, aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanics.

Career opportunities

After completion, graduates from this master program would be looking for job opportunities in aerospace, automotive, rail transport, shipping, energy production, petroleum, housing industries, public or private laboratories and technical centers.

Student willing to pursue their scientific training will be equipped for PhD studies and capable to work either on fundamental or applied topics of energy, fluid and thermal engineering, turbomachines and energy conversion systems.

In the current energy transition period requiring disruptive and incremental innovation, numerous opportunities are regularly available, either in public laboratories and within industry research and development teams. In particular, the Agence Nationale de la Recherche Technologique provides valuable funding for PhD student doing their thesis in close collaboration with industry.
