M2 Advanced Materials, Structure and Energy for sustainable construction

For the Modelling and Computing for Construction Engineering Master 2 program

• Students develop a solid foundation in scientific methodology, including bibliography analysis, experimental investigation, and the presentation of scientific results. The program develops multidisciplinary skills, combining state-of-the-art experimental tools (e.g., hybrid testing, Digital Image
  Correlation) with theoretical and numerical modeling. Key points are understanding and simulating non-linear, possibly softening, mechanical behavior of Civil Engineering materials and structures.
• Program Objectives:
  ›  Bridge the gap between experiments (observations, mechanical responses) and structural modeling for supporting sustainable construction,
  › Prepare students for research and engineering careers involving high-performance simulation and design under complex mechanical and environmental conditions,
  › Offer hands-on research experience through a supervised Scientific Training Period in a research lab,
  › Propose modern, research-based and high-level courses.

For the Materials for Sustainable Construction and Environment Master 2 program: 

• Students gain a multidisciplinary understanding of material behavior under environmental constraints,
  exploring mechanical, thermal, hydric, and morphological phenomena. Special focus is placed on the degradation mechanisms, damage, durability, and environmental impact of materials, from microstructural processes to structural performance.
• Program Objectives:
  › Provide a solid theoretical and practical foundation for research-oriented careers in sustainable construction materials.
  › Cultivate critical thinking and scientific reasoning through applied and investigative learning.
  › Offer hands-on research experience through a supervised internship in a research lab.
