Context
The emergence of the sustainable development concept has considerably tightened the criteria that materials and processes should satisfy, in terms of energy and commodity consumption, in addition to strength and durability. Materials should be thermally insulating, light, easily workable and recyclable in environmentally friendly processes. Even if in the last few years many progresses have been made, many problems remain to be solved. The only way to meet these new challenges is to combine multidisciplinary approaches in engineering, as scientific, technical and industrial challenges should be successfully tackled.
ObjectiveS
The SMCD Master’s program offers the necessary theoretical scientific bases for a multidisciplinary and multi-scale approach to building materials engineering, with the optimization of their production, their properties in use and their durability under defined environmental conditions.
Master's Benefits
- Multidisciplinarity: Physics, Chemistry, Mechanics and Applied Mathematics
- Wide open vision of the research and innovation in construction
- Opportunity to meet internationally recognized researchers
- Close contact with industrial and academic research
- Personalized monitoring
The partnership between École nationale des ponts et chaussées and Paris-Est Sup University offers the opportunity to gather teachers specialized in different disciplines whose research focuses on building.
Jobs opportunities
The SMCD Master’s Program offers students the prospect of a career in the research and innovation professions in the field of materials science, innovation and construction.
Extended studies in the form of a PhD thesis are recommended.
