Testimonials

They chose the Master of Science in Engineering Numerical Solid Mechanics (MNS) to train in advanced simulation, gain scientific autonomy, and build a clear path towards R&D or a PhD.

Beyond Software: Becoming an Actor in Numerical Modeling

I wanted to go beyond just using software. In MNS, I learned to build a model, justify my hypotheses, and rigorously interpret results. The courses in finite elements and material modeling gave me a solid foundation, and the internship allowed me to work on a concrete R&D topic.

What I appreciated most:
– increased competence in “reasoning + methods”;
– strong link between mechanics, numerical methods, and materials;
– a long, structuring internship (report + defense).

Developing an R&D Vision: Mastering Models and Their Limits

My goal was to better understand processes and multiphysical couplings. The Master of Science in Engineering provided me with advanced methods to approach complex phenomena (non-linearities, processes, validation). I leave with a more “R&D” vision, capable of explaining why a model is relevant and what its limits are.

Mastering the Complete Scientific Approach for Industry

The MNS internship was a real stepping stone. I was expected to follow a complete approach: bibliography, model selection, calculation strategy, critical analysis. This is exactly what I do today in R&D. The Master of Science in Engineering provided me with a working method and a level of rigor that makes all the difference.
