OBJECTIVES

Presentation

“Would you like to acquire general knowledge and skills in materials science with a strong focus on the durability of materials and structures?
It will prepare you to become an expert engineer in the prevention and protection of materials, capable of ensuring the durability of industrial structures.
After completing the course, you will know which material/environment combinations to choose, as well as the mechanisms of degradation and the techniques for diagnosing, controlling and reversing them.
Language and project management courses are also offered to help you enter the job market.”
In addition to this course, a master’s programme in engineering is available: https://www.univ-larochelle.fr/formation/nos-formations/cursus-master-ingenierie-cmi
