The Mechanical Engineering Teaching Unit covers a set of knowledge and know-how for the design, manufacture and performance analysis of a mechanical system. It is a fundamental element in the training of a general engineer.
The diversity of the industrial branches concerned goes far beyond the mechanical industries. Most objects and products have a solid material base. Their performance and lifetime depend to a large extent on the quality of this material base.
Notion of rigid solid, kinematic torsor, force torsor Fundamental principle of dynamics
Mechanical engineers work in SMEs as well as in large groups and in many fields of activity (automotive, steel, aeronautics, machine tools, consumer goods, food processing, metallurgy, electronics, IT, energy production, telecommunications, etc.).
They work as project, development, process, methods and industrialisation, quality, business or application engineers...
